As others mentioned, the US got the eagle from Rome.

I do believe that is also where Russia and Germany got the Eagle as well.

ETA: I submit we could’ve used the rattle snake as a national animal, or added the American Buffalo once we reached that far west.

I think they picked the Bald Eagle because it was thought to be unique to North America only.
