01:00	better idea of what the state is like . The
01:05	first nickname of north Dakota that we're gonna learn today
01:09	is the Peace Garden State . Yeah . Another name
01:12	for north Dakota is the Peace Garden State . That's
01:18	a nice name , But why is North Dakota called
01:21	the Peace Garden State ? Well , there's a place
01:26	in North Dakota called the International Peace Garden . Part
01:31	of it is in North Dakota . And interestingly enough
01:34	, the other part is in the country of Canada
01:38	. That's why it's called the International Peace Garden .
01:40	It's a garden that's in two countries , the United
01:43	States of America and Canada . They set up this
01:49	incredible garden back in 1932 as a symbol of the
01:54	incredible relationship between the United States and Canada . Mhm
02:01	. It's a huge place with tons of flowers .
02:04	In fact , there are over 150,000 flowers planted in
02:09	the International Peace Garden every year . So North Dakota
02:16	is called the Peace Garden State because the International Peace
02:19	Garden is in North Dakota . Not awesome . Mhm
02:25	. Now north Dakota is also called the flicker tail
02:29	state . Now , why is it called the flicker
02:32	tail stay ? Huh , wow . Yeah . Well
02:36	, North Dakota has a lot of these . This
02:39	is a Richardson ground squirrel . Now , Richardson's ground
02:45	squirrels are known for flickering their tails when they run
02:48	around . They can't help . But that's just something
02:51	that they do . In fact , a nickname of
02:54	the Richardson's ground squirrel is the flicker tail . If
02:57	you see a Richardson's ground squirrel , you can say
02:59	, hey , there's , there's a flicker tail because
03:01	that's just what happens with these incredible squirrels . So
03:07	north Dakota is called the Peace Garden State and it's
03:10	also called the flicker tail state , the Peace Garden
03:13	State because the International Peace Garden is in North Dakota
03:17	and also the flicker tail state because there are so
03:21	many Richardson's ground squirrels that live in North Dakota that
03:26	flicker their tails transfer . All right now , we
03:30	are going to look at the flag of the state
03:33	of North Dakota . North Dakota's flag is a blue
03:39	flag that has a symbol in the middle that looks
03:42	very similar to the Great Seal of the United States
03:47	. It features a bald eagle with his wings outstretched
03:55	and this eagle has olive branches and arrows meaning that
03:59	the United States wants to have peace . But if
04:02	it's necessary , the United States will resort to war
04:07	to . The 13 gold stars above . The Bald
04:11	Eagle represent the 13 original colonies , showing that North
04:16	Dakota is part of a family with a rich history
04:20	here in the United States . That was pretty cool
04:26	. Now we are going to locate two important places
04:30	in the state of North Dakota . The first place
04:33	we're going to locate is the city of bismarck ,
04:36	bismarck is the capital of North Dakota . Mhm mhm
04:42	. Then to the east is the city of Fargo
04:46	. Fargo is the largest city in north Dakota .

04:59	the state bird of North Dakota ? What is the
05:05	state bird of North Dakota ? The state bird of
05:11	North Dakota is the western meadowlark . That's right .
05:15	The western meadowlark , the western meadowlark is a songbird
05:20	that loves the open country . Western meadow larks have
05:26	distinctive yellow bellies and throats and it looks like they're
05:31	wearing a little black fib as if they're gonna like
05:33	spill something when they're eating . It's kinda cute .
05:35	The western meadow larks are easy to pick out because
05:39	of these bright , distinctive colors . These birds love
05:45	to eat insects like caterpillars , spiders , grasshoppers ,
05:49	so bugs , snails and beetles . Thanks for watching
