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。

Common Pawpaw

<em>Asimina triloba</em> is a small deciduous tree in the family Annonaceae, native to eastern North America, with records from Canada and the United States, and naturalized or cultivated occurrences in Japan and São Tomé and Príncipe. It is the northernmost member of the predominantly tropical custard apple family and produces the largest edible fruit native to North America. The species typically inhabits rich, moist bottomland forests, stream banks, and shaded woodland understories, forming clonal thickets through root suckering. Its flowers are pollinated by carrion flies attracted to their fetid odor, and fruits are consumed and dispersed by large mammals. The large, elongated fruits have a creamy, banana-like flesh with a complex tropical flavor. The IUCN classifies this species as Least Concern across its native North American range. <em>Asimina triloba</em> serves as the sole larval host plant for the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body measurements, and detailed dietary ecology remain poorly documented in standardized databases. It has gained increasing commercial interest as a cultivated fruit tree in organic agriculture and sustainable food systems.
