The symbol for Republicans used to be an eagle and the symbol for democrats was a rooster.
The elephant was used in the following political cartoon.

The reason for the donkey? Andrew Jackson was referred to as a Jack a** by his opponents. So he adopted it.
"Democrats today say the donkey is smart and brave, while Republicans say the elephant is strong and dignified."
I think I prefer the birds, though.
Stupid quote coding is broken.
