The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), the national bird of the United States of America, is the only eagle unique to North America. It was chosen in 1782 because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks and because
it was then believed to exist only in America.

Y Ddraig Goch: The Welsh Red Dragon
The coat of arms of Henry VII with the Welsh Dragon supporting the royal arms of England
The dragon standard was raised in 1400 by Owen Glendower, as a symbol of revolt against the English Crown and was brought to England by the House of Tudor, the reigning Welsh dynasty from 1485 to 1603.
The green and white stripes of the flag were additions of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, representing the colours of his standard.
