AHC: What animals would represent these political parties (USA)?

TheMexican

Hello friends. As I said, I'm doing an AH and watching the political parties of OTL. I thought that other animals could have taken the place of the Elephant and the Donkey of the Republican and Democratic Party.

But to be clear, Which animals would Have Been the symbol of These parties (the ideologies would be the same for now):
* Republican Party (currently an elephant)
* Democratic Party (currently a donkey)
* Libertarian Party (currently a puertoespin)
* Green Party (a flower?)
* Populist Party [1]
* Reform party (eagle?)
* Constitucion party [3] (eagle?)

[1] would be an Left party that would "be" similar to People's Party or American Populist Party.
[2] would be similar to the Reform Party of United States
[3] It would be similar to the Constitution Party

There are some rules, try that these parties do not repeat the same animal, if possible, that it is an animal that lives in the USA or in North America. They could give several animal options for the same game.

I don't think anyone gets the Eagle, that being the national symbol and all.

A right-wing party could get the "Don't Tread On Me" Rattlesnake.

A progressive party could get the Bull Moose, if started or inspired by Theodore Roosevelt.

A western, agrarian-based possibly populist party could get the Buffalo.

I could also see a party that is trying to invoke the founders without being right-wing adopt the Turkey, that was Ben Franklin's choice for national animal. Perhaps a reformed or recreated Whig party would do so.

One could always adopt a tree. Andrew Jackson was represented by a hickory tree and John Quincy Adams with an oak tree, long before political parties adopted animals.

Greens: the glorious Moose
Populists: a bull, boar, feral horse, bison
Reform: Eagle if available, maybe squirrel
Constitution: Eagle if available, maybe a fish, maybe dove

Agricultural party= a sickle crossed with a bundle of wheat

Most likely the agricultural party would be popular in the mid west/ plains states and the western portion of the south (Texas Oklahoma Arkansas Louisiana)

Maybe an animal such as an eagle is holding the wheat and sickle in its claws, similar to the arrows and olive branch on the US seal.

Warning
How 'bout in 2020 the Democratic Party changes its symbol from the donkey (symbol of the farmers/laborers) to a rainbow colored snowflake? It would be more indicative of what the Dumocrats represent, who they are, and what they believe in nowadays (for the past 50+ years) anyway. ;)
