The U.S. Territory of American Samoa consists of five main islands and two coral atolls. The National Park of American Samoa however, spans across 3 of the 5 islands. It is the only U.S. National Park to exist below the equator and consists of land, ocean waters and coral reefs. The animal featured on the 5 ounce Silver coin, the Samoan Fruit Bat, can be seen all around the island. Often times tourists can view them hanging from trees, flying around or feeding on fruit in the day or night as unlike many other bats, they are both nocturnal and diurnal. If you visit the park in the late Spring or Summer, you will probably see young pups still attached to their mothers, just as is pictured on the reverse of the coin.
