The mouth of the animal represents the Mississippi River, which starts in Minnesota. According to ''The Good Point'', questions surrounding the identity of the animal depicted have sparked debate amongst logo enthusiasts, earning accolades for its unique complexity in North American professional sports.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://thegp.sports.ws/minnesota-wild-logo/|title=Bears eat Beets: The Minnesota Wild Logo Essay|work=The Good Point|date=December 22, 2008|access-date=May 1, 2018|last=Kent|first=Austin|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180502064913/http://thegp.sports.ws/minnesota-wild-logo/|archive-date=May 2, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>
