American Bald Eagle

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.

Butyriboletus fechtneri is a bolete fungus distinguished by its pale, whitish to yellowish cap and stout stem with a fine network pattern. It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with broadleaf trees, particularly oaks and beeches, in temperate European forests. This species is classified as Endangered due to habitat loss from forest degradation and the decline of old-growth deciduous woodlands.
