Jarod's Patriotic Animals

Aired on: January 19, 2009

With a day until the inauguration, Jarod is showing off some of his most patriotic pals including an American Quarter Horse. "It's the animal that helped us in the 1600s expand across the United States," Jarod explains. "This was our locomotion back then." Rachael feeds the horse a carrot and thanks it for its "contribution" to history. Jarod then brings out one of the most recognizable American birds. "When you think of American wildlife, you have to go no further than a bald eagle," he says, noting its majestic wings. "You can see why this is our national bird and not the turkey!"
