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.

Брахиотеутис обыкновенный

<em>Brachioteuthis riisei</em>, commonly known as the Common Arm Squid, is a cephalopod mollusk in the family Brachioteuthidae. This species is classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List, reflecting significant gaps in knowledge about its population size, ecology, and distribution. Records of this species have been reported from waters off Chile and Norway, suggesting a broad oceanic distribution. Common Arm Squids are typically mesopelagic or bathypelagic organisms, inhabiting the open ocean at considerable depths during the day and often migrating toward shallower waters at night to feed. Like other oceanic squids, they are likely important components of marine food webs, serving as both predators of small fish and invertebrates and as prey for larger marine predators such as cetaceans and seabirds. The Data Deficient listing underscores the need for additional research into the biology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements of this understudied species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
