白头海雕

白头海雕是美国国鸟，也是美国生态保护史上的成功案例，曾因滴滴涕（DDT）的广泛使用而濒临灭绝，经保护措施的实施后种群数量已显著恢复。该物种在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危（LC），以白色头颈和尾羽与深棕色体羽形成的鲜明对比为主要识别特征。它们主要以鱼类为食，也会捕食哺乳动物和腐肉。

Christmas-bells

Christmas bells (Blandfordia grandiflora) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Blandfordiaceae, endemic to eastern Australia. It is one of four species in the genus Blandfordia, all restricted to Australia, and is perhaps the most widely recognized, flowering during the summer months of the Southern Hemisphere, which correspond to the Christmas season. The species produces striking pendulous, bell-shaped flowers in red and yellow, borne on upright stems emerging from tufted grass-like leaves. It grows primarily in coastal and near-coastal heathlands and wet sedgelands of New South Wales and southern Queensland, favoring waterlogged, nutrient-poor soils. Christmas bells are adapted to fire-prone ecosystems and often flower most prolifically following fire events that stimulate regeneration. The flowers are visited by honeyeaters and other nectarivorous birds, which serve as pollinators. Historically, Christmas bells were widely collected as cut flowers, and this exploitation significantly reduced some populations. Today, the species is protected under New South Wales legislation, and collection from the wild is prohibited. Habitat loss from urban expansion and altered hydrology also affects populations. The plant has cultural significance in Australia as a symbol of the summer Christmas season.
