Animals as national symbols
Animals as national symbols 8wwlG
The bald eagle was selected as the national bird of the USA all the way back in 1782, when America’s independence was new, exciting, and on everyone’s minds.
It was placed on the Great Seal, which is used for government institutions, official documents, and the president’s flag, to name just a few places where you can see the bald eagle symbol in action. It’s one of the main national symbols of the country, if not the main one.
Once hunted into near-extinction by farmers and fishermen, the bald eagle was placed under official government protection by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, which came into effect in 1940.
This prevented the extinction of the bald eagles, preserving them as our national emblem and as an important part of wildlife in North America!
