Botswana Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of Botswana was adopted on January 25, 1966. The centre shield is supported by two zebras. The shape of the shield is that of traditional shields found in East Africa. On the top portion of the shield are three cogwheels that represent industry.
The three waves symbolize water, and reminds the viewer of the motto of the nation: pula, which means simply "rain", but also good luck, and is the name of the nation's currency. This motto also highlights the importance of water to Botswana. The motto is found at the bottom of the coat of arms on a blue ribbon.
At the bottom of the shield is the head of a bull, which symbolizes the importance of cattle herding in Botswana. The two zebras also symbolize the importance of wildlife, through tourism, in the national economy. Also, zebra have black and white stripes which represent equality of people of all colors in Botswana.
