It's the American bison, just made official today.
Was anyone aware this was happening? I hadn't heard anything about it, which really surprises me. This is a big deal isn't it? Designation of a new 'national thing'?
The US now has a national mammal
I didn't know about it, but I knew that there were state mammals, and the American Bison I believe is the Oklahoman state mammal. Why do you say it's such a big deal? There's have a national flags and anthems and flowers, why not mammals?

Well, aren't national flags and anthems and flower kind of a big deal? It seems like people should at least know that it was happening. I didn't know about it, but I'm not from the States so I guess that makes sense.Connie G. wrote:I didn't know about it, but I knew that there were state mammals, and the American Bison I believe is the Oklahoman state mammal.

To clarify: I didn't mean the big deal was having one, but getting one. This was the designation of a brand new national thing which the US did not have before. You would think something like that would be common knowledge while it was in the works, not heard about it after it happens.Connie G. wrote:Why do you say it's such a big deal?

BOOOO!!! Down with bison! The otter should be our national mammal! 
It doesn't sound like there was any otter lobbying, but the Pennsylvania Representative wanted the groundhog considered because of Punxsutawney Phil.
I would assume Homosapiens would be the national mammal. >_>

Personally I think Homo sapiens should be the national mammal.

It's not my fault the man has no understanding of scientific classifications.
