The Bald Eagle - A Symbol of American Pride

Brian notices this at the Jurong Bird Park on Saturday. Notice that the sign says it is the emblem of the United States of America. The habitat is Alaska, Canada and Northern Mexico. Funny how it was picked as the national emblem in 1782. Alaska became a state in 1959. Why would they pick a bird that doesn't even exist within the county. Duh. It is also found within the continental United States too. Maybe it would be better said they are found "from Alaska across Canada all the way down to Northern Mexico."
