Trivia: The coat of arms on Michigan’s flag is held by what animals?
Wolf and badger
Opossum and woodchuck
Bear and eagle
Moose and elk
The correct answer is Moose and elk
So why is this answer correct? : The Michigan state flag features three animals — an elk, a bald eagle, and a moose. The elk and the moose are positioned on either side of the Michigan coat of arms, holding it up against a dark blue background (a legal requirement whenever the coat of arms is displayed). Moose are native to Michigan and located throughout the state, while the elk herd that currently reside in the state were introduced in 1918. The coat of arms is presided over by the bald eagle, the country’s national bird.
