The national symbols of Belize include the mahogany tree, black orchid flower, toucan bird, and tapir animal. The red, white, and blue flag represents national unity under the motto "Under the Shade I Flourish". The toucan is a colorful bird that eats fruits, while the mahogany tree can grow over 100 feet tall. The tapir is Belize's largest land mammal, resembling a donkey, and the black orchid flowers nearly year-round on trees in damp areas.
