The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus, from Greek hali "sea", aiētos "eagle", leuco "white", cephalos "head") is a bird of prey found in North America. Bald eagles are not actually bald; the name derives from an older meaning of "white headed". The adult is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are about 25 percent larger than males. The beak is large and hooked. The plumage of the immature is brown. The bald eagle is both the national bird and national animal of the United States of America. The bald eagle appears on its seal.

Two year old grizzly cub forging on plants along the road to Pelican Creek, Yellowstone Lake ^ Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming in the Northern Rockies mountain chain of the Western United States. Grizzly cubs stay with their mothers through two years of age to protect them from the adult males.  Fortunately the mother grizzly was not around because the cub slowly moved to within 10 feet of our parked vehicle. This is normally not allowed but we did not change its behavior nor inter act with it other than to take photos from the vehicle before we left.

Norris Geyser Basin comprises of three main areas: Porcelain Basin, Black Basin, and One Hundred Springs Plain. It is one of the most dynamic places in Yellowstone National Park because some of the pools here are some of the oldest, hottest and most acidic around. This thermoacidophilic niche is typically located in aquatic environments with high moisture content, including various geothermal hot springs and volcanic mud pools. The niche is adapted to highly acidic environments, generally with a pH of less than 4. Due to active volcanic activities in the area, the springs and pools in which the acidophilic niche is found are typically of fairly high temperature, usually ranging from 65 to 90 degrees Celsius. The niche is typically immersed in pools with high sulfur contents, either as hydrogen sulfide (H2S(g)) emitted as a volcanic gas, or as elemental sulfur crystals. Some niches are also found in pools rich with other metals, typically iron
