What. I thought they were supposed to be the jewel of american culture. I didn’t know they were basically extinct from the lower 48.

Historically, if you weren't talking about the bald eagle, the US tended to be symbolized by the bison (which we in the US call the "buffalo). It got pretty clobbered too, though.

They are more a jewel of Californian culture. I've never seen them associated with all of America.
