White Oak (Quercus alba)

White Oak Is a tree species endemic to the eastern United States, with a staggering population in eastern and central North America. The western slopes of the Appalachian mountains and the Ohio and central Mississippi River valleys have the best environmental conditions for growing white oak. However, the giant trees are on the eastern shore of Delaware and Maryland.

Abies balsamea

Red Maple (Acer rubrum)

Red maple is one of the most common trees in eastern North America, reaching up to 120 feet tall and a 6 feet trunk diameter. It is a fast-growing tree with a dense canopy and shallow roots, making it an excellent option for boulevards and shade trees. Its dense canopy provides shade all year, during spring, fall, and summer.

Populus tremula

Not to be confused with Populus tremuloides, the American aspen, also called trembling aspen and quaking aspen.
Populus tremula (commonly called aspen, common aspen, Eurasian aspen, European aspen, or quaking aspen)[2] is a species of poplar native to cool temperate regions of the Old World.

Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta)

Lodgepole pine, a common tree in the pine family, is native to western North America and Canada. Its natural range extends from Alaska in the north to California in the south, from the Pacific coast to the east of the Rockies. It can grow up to 50 feet, but some varieties are shrubs that reach only 10 feet.

Flowering Dogwood (Cornus Florida)

Flowering dogwood is a deciduous, woody understory tree in the dogwood family. Native to southeastern Canada, eastern North America, and eastern Mexico, it grows about 15 to 25 feet and has leaves that turn purple and red in the fall.

Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum)

Sugar maple is a native species from the northeastern United States and Eastern Canada regions. Although the maple leaf is Canada's national symbol, this tree is also popular in the US. Americans mostly grow sugar maple as an ornamental and shade tree. They also find it valuable because it produces maple syrup, maple sugar, and lumber for furniture making.

Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Douglas fir is an evergreen coniferous tree with an average height of 40 to 80 feet, reaching up to 300 feet in the wild. The tree takes on the name of the botanist David Douglas, who introduced the first seeds to Great Britain from North America.

Populus tremuloides

Populus tremuloides is a deciduous tree native to cooler areas of North America, one of several species referred to by the common name aspen. It is commonly called quaking aspen,[2][3][4] trembling aspen,[2][3] American aspen,[3] mountain or golden aspen,[5] trembling poplar,[5] white poplar,[5] and popple,[5] as well as others.[5] The trees have tall trunks, up to 25 metres (82 feet) tall, with smooth pale bark, scarred with black. The glossy green leaves, dull beneath, become golden to yellow, rarely red, in autumn. The species often propagates through its roots to form large clonal groves originating from a shared root system. These roots are not rhizomes, as new growth develops from adventitious buds on the parent root system (the ortet).

They are the most diverse insect species.

Beetles, belonging to the order Coleoptera, are incredibly diverse insects that comprise a quarter of all known living organisms! There are an estimated 400,000 identified species of beetles, with so many species yet to be discovered1. Among them, there are size variations that would make your jaw drop.

On one end of the scale, we have the almost invisible feather-winged beetles, no larger than 0.01 inches. The Fringed Ant Beetle (Nymphister Kronaueri) is the smallest known beetle and measures around 0.25 millimeters in length. On the other end, the Goliath Beetle, which can grow to 6.7 inches and weigh 1.8 ounces, is one of the longest and heaviest insects in the world.

Furthermore, beetles live in almost every habitat except the extreme polar regions. They live in the driest deserts and the wettest tropical rainforests!

Their horns are their most prominent feature

Our next rhinoceros fact talks about the animal’s name origin.

The term "rhinoceros" originates from two Greek words: "rhinos," meaning "nose," and "keras," meaning "horn." These animals have a prominent horn on their nose, which gives them their name. However, these horns aren't just decorative; they serve as the rhino's first line of defense. Black, white, and Sumatran rhinoceroses have two horns, with the larger one being called the anterior horn, and can grow up to 59 inches.

The posterior horn is shorter and can grow up to 22 inches. Besides self-defense, rhino horns are also for practical purposes such as digging for water and breaking branches2. Indian and Javan rhinos use their single horns in the same way.
