What is the mascot of the U.S. Marine Corps?
Bull
Armadillo
Snake
Bulldog
After World War I, the Marine Corps adopted the Bulldog as its mascot. Tradition holds that during the Battle of Belleau Wood in France, the Marines fought with such ferocity that the Germans dubbed them “teufel hunden,” a Bavarian term for “devil dogs.” The nickname “devil dogs” stuck, and Bulldogs, recognized worldwide as symbols of courage, naturally came to represent the Marine Corps. For breed enthusiasts, it’s easy to see why Bulldogs embody the Marine Corps motto, “Semper Fidelis” (always faithful). Tough, fearless, tenacious, and muscular, Bulldogs perfectly exemplify the fighting spirit of the Marine Corps.
