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。

Coastal Brides-bush

Pavetta natalensis, the coastal brides bush or Natal brides bush, is a flowering shrub or small tree in the family Rubiaceae native to the subtropical coastal forests, forest margins, and coastal thicket of KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa. The genus Pavetta is characterized by conspicuous, often fragrant white flowers produced in dense terminal corymbs, and the showy displays have given many species in the genus the common name brides bush, as their flowering recalls a bride's bouquet. Pavetta natalensis typically reaches 2–6 meters in height and is found in sand forest, dune forest, and coastal scrub habitats where it grows in the sheltered understorey or along forest edges. The white flowers are tubular with a projecting style typical of Rubiaceae, and attract butterflies, bees, and hawkmoths. Fleshy black fruits are subsequently produced and consumed by a range of frugivorous birds that disperse seeds throughout coastal forest habitats. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, being relatively common in suitable habitat along the KwaZulu-Natal coast. The Rubiaceae family, to which Pavetta belongs, includes the economically important coffee plant (Coffea arabica), making it one of the world's most significant plant families.
