Shame we have been going backwards for 40 years, socially, morally and economically. And standard of living wise....

You also have the Ferrari Spider and the Fiat Abarth which has a Scorpion logo. a well known venomous insect of hot climates, shaped much like a lobster. It is usually not more than two or three inches long, but in tropical climates is sometimes six inches in length. The wilderness of Sinai is especially alluded to as being inhabited by scorpions at the time of the exodus, and to this day these animals are common in the same district, as well as in some parts of Palestine. Scorpions are generally found in dry and in dark places, under stones and in ruins. They are carnivorous in the habits, and move along in a threatening attitude, with the tail elevated. The sting, which is situated at the end of the tail, has at its base a gland that secretes a poisonous fluid, which is discharged into the wound by two minute orifices at its extremity. In hot climates the sting often occasions much suffering, and sometimes alarming symptoms. The "scorpions" of ( 1 Kings 12:1 1 Kings 12:14 ; 2 Chronicles 10:11 2 Chronicles 10:14 ) have clearly no allusion whatever to the animal, but to some instrument of scourging --unless indeed the expression is a mere figure.

I wonder why so many countries adopt an eagle as part of their flag, EE in particular it seems.

I heard that eagle is symbol of specific blood lines. In that case we can look at the EE as having pretty much same bloodline ruling through different countries. We all know they intermarried, so its not something ludicrous when you think about it.

It's almost like people like to choose animals that are native to their location, what sort of potential meaning could that have?

Eagles have a very large habitat, they're the kings of birds, and look awesome soaring, so it's no surprise they end up being elevated to national symbols and heraldry.
Lions are also the kings of the animal kingdom, and they used to have a very wide range, from Bangladesh through southern Europe and all of Africa, so they're present even in countries where they have disappeared millennia ago as part of their cultural memories.
