So how did you come up with Slovakia's? Or are just a fan of Great Hungary concept?
Romania lynx? Source?
Probably Wikipedia but it's bullshit, it's based off a couple of random websites that make the claim with no basis. There's no animal being used as a national symbol in Romania.
The closest thing are the animals that appear on the coat of arms (eagle, bull, lion, dolphin) but the coat of arms is the national symbol not the animals. Otherwise you could say that the moon and walls are also symbols of Romania because they're also on there.
I thought so too. Maybe it's the most common wild animal? But I think that would the bear
Yeah, it's always been the lynx, officially. But indeed it's not a well known fact, nor is it used anywhere really.
You can google "romanian national animal", all you'll find is the lynx, everywhere. However, i'm unable to find the origin of it.
Strange. I never heard of it
I think i remember being told about it in sciences class in primary school decades ago... but yeah, it's not like it's used in any way anywhere.
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.
Spain has the best: strong AND useful
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
Can't see CDPR's office
Poland's should be a stork not a grey heron ๐
