1. Mississippi already has two official land mammals, the white-tailed deer and the red fox. This
legislation "adds" the black bear to the list.
2. Maine adopted the eastern brook trout as a state heritage fish in 2005. This bill "adds" the
Arctic char as a second heritage fish.
3. Maryland's current official state bird is the Baltimore oriole. This bill nominates the raven
as an additional state bird. |
