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.

Common Clusterhead

<em>Sorocephalus lanatus</em> is a flowering plant in the family Proteaceae, order Proteales. Commonly referred to as the common clusterhead, this species is native to the Cape Floristic Region and is characteristic of fynbos shrubland, a biome recognized for its extraordinary plant diversity and high levels of endemism. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, suggesting its populations are relatively stable within its native range. <em>Sorocephalus lanatus</em> typically grows as a compact shrub, producing dense, woolly flowerheads that are characteristic of the genus. It favors nutrient-poor, well-drained soils typical of the fynbos ecosystem and is adapted to the periodic fire cycles that shape this habitat. The species is pollinated primarily by insects and birds attracted to its clustered inflorescences. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
