What's the representative animal for your country?

The national animal of Philippines is carabao. It stands for the fortitude of Filipinos. As most people know, Filipinos are very hardworking, very similar to carabaos who help diligent farmers till their farms.

Hello youless!:-) My original national animal or as you say representative animal is called "Flare-Horned Markhor". It is from "Bovidae" family of animals from "Artiodactyla" order which belongs to "Mammal" class coming under "Chordata" phylum. It is a Temperate forest or Shrub land animal mainly found in Western Himalayas. It basically eats vegetables and grass bit it's name literally means "snake eater". It is a goat like animal. I am also uploading it's picture from wikimedia commons. You can find more details from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markhor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Markhor.jpg

Tiger is the animal which represents my country. This animal could be found in the deep tropical jungle here. The most precious and rarest species of tigers here is the white one. It is sad that the number of tigers become less and less because of the unfavorable environment factors and illegal hunting of this animal. So in our country they are animals under protection.

it will always be carabao for us here in the philippines, it represents the good quality of being hardworking and patient of the filipinos.

Hello youless, this discussion is four months old and i guess it came back to circulation again which is good because i can reply. I missed it when you started i think. I am from India so our animal is the Tiger. The Bengal Tiger was almost on the brink of extinction. But we have saved it for now. I have added a picture for you;)

i'm from the philippines and we have carabao for our national animal. carabao is very strong and also the people here in the philippines.

Im from the Philippiens and our country is represented by three animals namely the carabao, philippine eagle and the milk fish which is our county's national, animal, bird and fish respectively.

Hey yl, This is probably a repeat- America has the bald eagle +'s |:)

I live in the US. I always think of the Bald eagle when I think of the United States. They are so majestic and free. Like we should be!

The representative animal for my country is the Bald Eagle. And for the sate I live in it is a Pelican. I'm from the southern portion of the United States.

absolutely.i remember years ago we sent a panda for America,so maybe it is still living its way in there. i guess what you mean is the rare animal in a country,not the representative,because i think not all countries have that.

Hi,youless! Besides panda,there are lots of other animal in the representative animal lists.But needless to say,panda is the most famous animal in China. Personally,I think both dragon and panda are the representative animals for China,however,dragon doesn't exist in the real world.:)

hi there youless i think pandas are so cute well in Australia it would the the koaola and the kangaroo thanks for this discussion

In philippines we have the Eagle..

I think when people think of Australia they would probably automatically think of the Kangaroo...

Actually, our country has three animal symbols, the water buffalo or carabao (national animal), the Philippine eagle (national bird), and the milkfish (bangus), the national fish. Known locally as carabao, the water buffalo is probably more closely associated with the Philippines than with any other country and is reportedly considered the national animal.
