Stupid people everywhere

Canada- Beaver... oh Canada we love our beaver..

We love Canadian beaver here in America too!

as a German, i find this statement a bit disturbing.

Beaver - Biber (pronounced the same as Bieber)

bieber is canadian, too

the disturbing part was more the loving part.

"we love OUR bieber"
it's equally disturbing.

I thought it was moose.

Nah, we just have a dick-tonne of moose here, but the official national animal is a beaver.

Dutch lion is best lion

Glorious unicorn master-race.

our animal is actually a heroin needle with legs

maybe chuck on a burberry cap for good luck

*ahem*

I love how England's is Lions yet they don't have any lions living naturally in the country

Pugs arent very intimidating

Corgis are kinda aggressive

what the fuck is that supposed to be?

Damned terrifying, to me.

I had an intense standoff with a big fucking swan once.

Apparently the Unicorn is Scotland's national animal.
Pretty interesting.

This was a very awesome look-up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_animals

Wales - Dragon.. yay..

lions, tigers & bears! OH MY!

Actually Russia-Two headed eagle

france-cock

Russians also have the fucking double-headed eagle.

That's to do with Chernobyl I guess.

I thought India loved cows.

China's more of a dragon, the tiger would be India.

I think India would be the elephant, or maybe Thailand, but yeah China would be the dragon.

Actually, the national animal of India is the Bengal Tiger.

No its the thai elephant.

Pssht! There are more "Indian" elephants in Indochina than in India. The Bengali tiger though, that's been their symbol for ages and it's only found naturally in the Indian subcontinent. If anyone had the elephant it'd be Thailand, Indonesia, or someplace in Africa.

England is a leopard, scotland is a lion.

"The animals which Richard I had three of on his shirt were leopards. At the time they were not aware of the difference between lions and leopards. In heraldry, a leopard is always sideways on and in that particular shape you now see on England football shirts in what is known as passant gardant. This means that Frank Skinner and David Baddiel's song "Three Lions" is totally wrong. In Scotland they use a rampant lion which is standing on two legs." -stephan fry, QI season 1 episode 3

Who cares what they were originally? Whether Richard wore lions or leopards, it doesn't matter.

There are lions on our coat of arms, deal with it.

Did you even read the quote? if it's side ways like that then it's a leopard.

Does that look like a leopard to you?

It's not whether it looks like it or not, that's what it is. for fuck sake, is that such a hard concept to grasp?

Yes it is about what it looks like, whether it's side ways or not, if it looks like a lion and nothing like a leopard, it's a fucking lion

Here's some 'au de common sense', spray yourself with it

"Indonesia -Garuda bird"

It's Komodo you filthy Japanese raider

Indonesia's national animal symbol is Garuda idiot
Komodo is like signature tourism animal

The Komodo dragon is our former bitch's national animal.

Singapore = Merlion

One dancing lion

WITH AN AXE!

Canada has a lion partying with a unicorn. BEAT THAT!

How were ancient Scandinavian people even aware that lions existed? Lions are indigenous to Africa.

the symbols are not ancient, but old for sure. I'm pretty sure these symbols are from after the viking period, and even during the viking period, vikings could travel far enough to see a lion.

Dude, they had Lions in ancient Rome for a reason.
And the word 'Barbarians' came because the Roman people only understood 'Ba-ba-ba' from the other languages they spoke.
So they might have taken a visit or spread a word or something.

They had lions in ancient Rome because the Romans captured them and brought them back to Rome. But Africa, for the ancient Romans, was just on the other side of the Mediterranean sea. I know there's no way that ancient Nords ever ventured as far as Africa.

They're probably based of griffons.

And griffons are based off of lions.

Griffons are based off eagles.

And lions. Griffons are half eagle, half lion.

Maybe the scandinavians made a creature that just happened to look half eagle and half lion without knowing it.

what country you from then?

It's so hipster, you've probably never heard of it.

John is superior brother.

Agreed, I could listen to him talk for hours.

Also, gif.

Yes! He changed the way I think in several ways.

Motherfucking Hufflepuff-faggotry.

They also aim directly for the crotch when facing a bipedal opponent.

the honey badger is literally the the scariest creature alive i'll tell you hwhat

i would pick a parrot that can say motherfucker

Fun fact: Andrew Jackson's parrot had to be kicked out of his funeral for its foul language that it picked up from being around him.

I like this honey badger much better

You underestimate the stupidity of people on the internet.

I deny to believe that there are so many dumb people.

has science gone too far?

Perhaps, but... he maaad.

That's a weird looking eagle.

that's a cockatiel.

Thank you for gracing us with your bird knowledge.

You're welcome.
