Why America select eagle as the emblem of US?
It symbolized courage and might(权利),
and it was indigenous only to US and to Canada.
Dont you think it is lordly?
The bald eagle owes its name to the early American colonists, and is bald in name only. As the white-headed American eagle differed from the European gray eagle, the colonists used their word for white, which translated into bald, in describing it.
