Same. I thought even the flag would be more well-known.

I tried like ten other (more?) valid options for the extinct animal (including the wikipedia way). Finally surrendered. Please allow several of the other alternatives.

Wouldn't accept sabre toothed tiger from me. I have never heard it referred to as sabre toothed cat. I believe the names are interchangeable.

I know it's semantics but Scotland didn't 'lose' it's independence, it's government voted to join the proposed union of the United Kingdom, and therefore freely gave up it's independence in the same way England gave up it's independence by agreeing to the union. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Union

Scotland did not "lose" its independence - its monarch signed an act of union......
