The bald eagle is the only “national” animal of the United States.
But that could soon change.
The U.S. government may soon recognize the bison as the national mammal.
This week, both houses of Congress approved a bill called the “National Bison Legacy Act.” The bill would officially recognize the wild animal as the national mammal.
The measure now goes to President Barack Obama. If he signs the bill, it becomes a law.
Bison, also called buffalo, are the largest land animals in North America. They are hairy and have a big head and short horns.
U.S. lawmakers called the bison a sign of American strength.
