Animals in United States

If you're looking for an amazing animal experience, look no further than the United States of America!

This country is home to some of the most unique and interesting creatures on the planet. From grizzly bears to bald eagles, there's something for everyone when it comes to American wildlife.

The United States also has two national animals that are worth mentioning.

The first is the bald eagle, which is the national bird of the USA. These majestic birds can have a wingspan of up to seven feet and can live for up to 30 years in the wild.

The American bison is another national animal of the USA. These massive creatures can weigh up to 2000 pounds and stand six feet tall at the shoulder. They're often found in the western states, roaming freely on the open plains.
