Heraldic Animals

Heraldic animals are symbolic creatures used in coats of arms and heraldry to represent qualities, values, or traits associated with a family, institution, or individual. These animals, such as lions for courage, eagles for power, or bears for strength, are depicted in a stylized manner to convey specific messages. They serve as visual emblems that communicate identity, heritage, and virtues, often reflecting historical significance or personal attributes. Heraldic animals are carefully chosen symbols that have longstanding tradition and are designed to be recognizable and meaningful within the context of heraldic art and family or organizational symbolism.
