National Animals of All Countries

A national animal is one of the most visible symbols of a country’s natural riches. Several criteria are used to make the decision. The national animal may be chosen depending on how effectively it symbolizes specific characteristics with which a country wishes to be associated. As part of the country’s tradition and culture, it must have a rich past. The animal should be plentiful throughout the country. Generally, a national animal should be indigenous to that country and unique to that country’s identity. It should be aesthetically pleasing. The national animal is also chosen based on its conservation status in order to facilitate improved efforts toward its continued survival as a result of its official status.

National Animal of India

India’s national animal is the Royal Bengal Tiger. These are one of India’s most graceful carnivores, both majestic and lethal. No other animal can match the Royal Bengal tiger’s strength, agility, and grace. It embodies all of these attributes as India’s national animal. Panthera tigris is the scientific name for the Royal Bengal Tiger, the largest of the four Panthera big cats. (Lion, Tiger, Jaguars and Leopards). The Royal Bengal Tiger is one of India’s eight tiger species.

National Animal of Pakistan

The Markhor was chosen as Pakistan’s national animal due to its ability to withstand the hilly terrain and its widespread appearance throughout the country. Markhor is a type of wild goat that can be found in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The IUCN first classed it as endangered, however, it was later downgraded to Near Threatened in 2015 due to a 20% rise in population in the previous year. The name is a combination of two Persian words, “Mar” and “Khor,” which indicate “snake” and “eater,” respectively. The species’ name could have come from its ability to snake or its screw-like horns that mimic a coiling snake.

Markhor is classified into numerous subspecies based on the shape of their horns and the twisting pattern of their horns. Astor markhor with enormous flat horns, Kabul markhor with slightly corkscrewed horns, and Bhukharan markhor are some of the sub-species. A markhor’s age can be easily established by counting the number of rings on the horn.

National Animal of China

It may come as no surprise that the Giant Panda is China’s national animal. Panda iconography is synonymous with the country; they are imprinted on official gold panda coins and served as one of the Olympic mascots in Beijing in 2008. These bears can only be found in China and in a few mountain ranges. They are categorised as vulnerable due to deforestation and habitat degradation and are tragically now dependent on humanitarian assistance for continued survival. The giant panda has been the WWF’s symbol since its foundation in 1961, as well as China’s national animal. It was chosen in part because of its endangered state, but also because it is a highly identifiable and charismatic species.

National Animal of Scotland

The Unicorn is Scotland’s national animal. Prior to 1603, the Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland was supported by two unicorns, and the current royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom is supported by a unicorn for Scotland and a lion for England. The unicorn is a popular decoration for mercat crosses. In Forres, Moray, a National Unicorn Museum is being built.
