The United States of America has a bird species as its national animal - the bald eagle is the national animal for the USA.
Bald eagles in America have made a successful recovery in recent times, their population in 2009 was estimated to be 72,000 birds, and today, their population is much higher at 316,700 birds, which is an amazing recovery, especially in a short space of time. It shows that animals can recover if we help them and allow them to recover.
They are also found in 48 different states, which means bald eagles are found living in most states in the USA.
