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.

Haladaptatus paucihalophilus is a halophilic archaeon within the family Halobacteriaceae, notable for its ability to tolerate a relatively wide range of salt concentrations compared to most extreme halophiles. It was isolated from a low-salt, sulfide-rich spring and represents an unusual adaptation among haloarchaea. Its name reflects its capacity to thrive in environments with lower halide concentrations.
