Habitat & Geographic Range
Белоголовый орлан
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Clustered clover
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
Widely distributed across Africa (South Africa), Asia (Japan), Europe (10 countries), North America (Canada, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia), and South America (Chile).
Белоголовый орлан
The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.
Clustered clover
Trifolium glomeratum, the clustered clover, is an annual herb in the family Fabaceae native to the Mediterranean region, including southern Europe, North Africa, and southwestern Asia. Like other clovers, it has trifoliate leaves and produces small, globe-shaped flower heads composed of numerous tiny pink to purplish-pink pea-type flowers. The specific epithet glomeratum means 'clustered into a rounded mass,' referring to the tightly grouped flowerheads that remain sessile (stalkless) amid the upper leaves. The species grows in dry, disturbed ground, sandy fields, roadsides, grasslands, and coastal areas where soils are thin and nutrient-poor. T. glomeratum has been widely naturalized outside its native range, particularly in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and parts of North and South America, where it can become a common weed of agricultural margins and waste ground. Like all clovers, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen through root nodule bacteria, contributing to soil fertility. It has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN for conservation status. The species is palatable to livestock and may be grazed where abundant.
