What animal symbolizes war?

Answer 1

Using animal in the broadest sense- the Eagle or Hawk- both derived from the same word, Aquila, in Latin. Politicians who favor military action have long been called (hawks). In Shakespeare there is the line- Cry Havoc!- and let slip the Dogs of War, so Dogs have a martial context too ( certainly Pit Bulls are on the aggressive path).Horses of course were used in warfare ( cavalry, also pulled field pieces in the artillery- as did Mules-) but a horse by itself is not necessarily bellicose.

Answer 2

The eagle is often associated with symbolizing war due to its strength, aggressiveness, and dominance in the animal kingdom. Its fierce and powerful nature is often used to represent the intensity and violence of war.
