Answer:
I can be swallowed But I can also swallow you.
I am gold and can be black and white I'm a symbol for a nation when freedom took flight.
I am flora not fauna. I am foliage not trees. I am shrubbery not grass.
You hear me speak, for I have a hard tongue. But I cannot breathe, for I have not a lung. What am I?
I am a type of animal that hang out in the mist
Long and slinky like a trout, never sings till it's guts come out.
