Habitat & Geographic Range

American Bald Eagle

Habitat

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.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Range

Found in Norway.

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.

common antlers sponge

<em>Axinella polypoides</em>, commonly known as the Common Antlers Sponge, is a marine sponge in the family Axinellidae. This species has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN and has been recorded in waters off Norway, among other European marine environments. The Common Antlers Sponge is an erect, branching sponge that typically forms irregularly branched, tree- or antler-like colonies in yellow to orange coloration, which are visually distinctive on the rocky substrates of the Mediterranean Sea and the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. It typically grows attached to hard substrates such as rocks and corals in subtidal zones, often in areas with moderate to strong water currents that deliver particulate food. As a filter feeder, it draws water through its porous body to extract organic particles and microorganisms. This sponge can reach substantial sizes and is often found in deeper, clear-water habitats. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
