Why is Alabama's mascot an elephant?
That makes sense. Have there been any other reasons given for the choice of an elephant as Alabama's mascot?
Some people believe that Alabama chose the elephant because it represents strength, intelligence, and dominance - all qualities that Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant wanted his team to embody. Additionally, the elephant is a symbol of the Republican party, which was the party in power at the time Alabama adopted the mascot.
