There are herons* (the creature on the original Raleigh badge) and squirrels (red, native - the grey is an invasive species - so that badge is definitely authentic!) in the UK, where Raleighs were built, but no racoons, at least not wild, and definitely no rhinos except in zoos. There are (or, well, were) dragons in Wales if you believe the myths, but Raleighs were only ever built in England and Ireland, IIRC...

Hope that helps.

Nah, they're nice badges, and good fun. I'd love to know the backstory, if there is one.

(*Herons are majestic birds, btw - I sometimes see them fishing the river that runs by the village where I live and they're a highly impressive sight.)
