    So Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia create the household trio of cat, corgi and big dog?

    Unfortunately Italy does not have an official national animal, meaning no animals are enshrined in our constitution or any of our national symbols. However if we had one that would definitely be the wolf.

    I don’t want to be too picky, but at least the eagle pictured on Germany is kind of wrong. While it is not specified which species of eagle the “Bundesadler” is, it is most definitely never depicted as a bald eagle (that would be the USA). More usuale would be a Golden eagle or a White-tailed eagle.

    What? I always tought Serbia’s national animal was the eastern imperial eagle, but apperintly it is only considired “a national bird”, while the wolf takes the prize.

    Just curious what should that under Slovenia be. As far as I am aware we do not have a national animal, but happy to be proven wrong

    As far as I know - being from the place - Portugal has no national animal.

    The closest is the Galo De Barcelos, which is not really a living animal but a well known clay figurine that any Portuguese would recognized.

    No idea were that wolf in that picture came from.

        Wait we do? I didn’t realize we even had one official animal, let alone 4

        Edit: the Finnish Wikipedia claims we have 6 official animals, one of them being ladybugs:

          There’s one “national animal” and then there’s national horse, insect, fish, bird, butterfly and one that wasn’t on your list, national dog. So that’d be seven. Get on our level, other countries!

          How could they leave out this good boy from hte list

          Finnish spitz

            True! For all you non-Nordics, that’s a Finnish Spitz and they’re certified good boyes. My personal favorite is the Finnish Lapphund because they’re so incredibly floofy, and it’s an interesting breed because it was originally bred by the Sámi for herding reindeer:

    Team unicorn, represent! I’d swear half the entrance doorways to our historic buildings have the lion and the unicorn carved above, and everyone still seems surprised by the “Scotland’s national animal is a what now?” response.

    I always find it weird when countries use animals that are not native to their country. Although in Scotland I’m pretty sure that unicorns actually exist somewhere. Or at least, they do if you drink enough.
