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.

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.

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.

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
