What. I thought they were supposed to be the jewel of american culture. I didn’t know they were basically extinct from the lower 48.

They are more a jewel of Californian culture. I've never seen them associated with all of America.

Historically, if you weren't talking about the bald eagle, the US tended to be symbolized by the [bison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bison (which we in the US call the "buffalo). It got pretty clobbered too, though.
