He is a bald eagle, the national bird of the host nation, the United States. The United States originally intended to use a bear mascot to represent California, but the Soviet Union had used a bear mascot named Misha at the preceding 1980 Summer Olympics. The mascot was designed by Bob Moore, an artist working for The Walt Disney Company.[1]

Sam would go on to feature in McDonald's merchandise, as an attraction at Disneyland, and as the protagonist of a Japanese anime series titled Eagle Sam.[2]
