What is your national animal? Please tell me and tell me a description of it and why it is cooler then all the other national animals.

Mine is the Chocobo. It's cooler than all other national animals because it comes from Final Fantasy. Here is a link describing the common Chocobo.

The Chocobo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocobo)

My national animal is the eagle, after the bird revered by the Roman troops. The eagle was prominently displayed on the standards the legions carried into battle.

Ours is our own citizens (the ones that mine coal. 3/4's of the population). Because we're underground, and our cabinet is afraid of bats, rats, and other underground animals.

Nice. The country I am from (both of them (Germany and USA)) have Eagles as their national animals.

Uh, what do I say to you about that, Spice Mines? Weird in a funky way.

The Blue Owl (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/blue_owl.html)

endemic to the Cookboroughan Archipelago

Mine is a snake....but I think I'll change it to a Cobra or mamba. I'm uncreative...:p

I like both of them, although the Blue Owl is pretty sweet.

@Diasair: Make it the Black Mamba, they are so cool. Although a cobra is pretty cool. Black Mamba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamba)

Mine is the Iromote cat. A wild cat native to Iromote Island, near Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

Never heard of it, but it looks pretty sweet.

Mine is the Peregrine falcon, I like falons cuz they're fast as hell!!!Headhunters do you have any German ancestors?Cuz if you do that'd make us kinda related!

PS
Falcons eat snakes:p

Rabbit. Aoi Kiru Usagi Minzoku's citizens are big, sentient blue rabbits. Hence.

Damn, everyone eats rabbits.

Future-World has the Tiger-Hologram.

Because after the great industrial day, when Future-World had becoma real paradise (or at least not far from) the leaders decided that no animals shoul be caged in zoo's. To fill up for the los of zoological gardens, a group of scientists created holograms of animals which didn't differ from the real ones at all. But due to anaccident, several Tiger-Holograms escaped their cages and started lo live wild in the Futurian forests. As the only wild animal left so near the cities they became the national animal.

Alright, we are proud over our Tiger-Holograms, so deal with it...

My country's national animal is the Griffin - symbolic of wisdom and fortitude. It's a nice-looking, fabulous animal, tastes nice, and also happens to be the symbol of the real world political party that I'm a member of (the Libertarian Party (http://www.lpuk.org/)).

Looks like a cool thread so I'll post.

My national animal is the Cow. Its a cow-shaped animal that is white with big black spots and has hooves. The Cow is cooler than everybody else's animal because it tastes good and looks cool. More info here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle).

Awesome! Yeah, almost everybody in my nation is of German descent. I myself am volks-deutsch (folk German).

Nice, I like the Holo-Tiger thing the best so far, after the Chocobo of course.

The national animal of Northern Rangeria is the crazy monkey cat, also known as the Rangerian Lynx (Lynx Simianis; family Felidae, subfamily Felinae).

The name of the animal comes from its playful nature, and its more elongated and agile form compared to other members of the Lynx species. The crazy monkey cat is still quite common in Northern Rangeria, thanks to extensive preservation program. It is most common in the Northlands, while rarer in the more urbanized southern provinces.

(OOC: I named the thing after a friend of mine, whom I've nicknamed "crazy monkey cat lady" :D It's a long story...)

Very nice, I like, I like. Schnafna-schneefna!

And dont worry, I won't ask. :D

Schnafna-whuh?

The Naked Mole Rat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_mole_rat).

My national animal is the Red Fox becuase they are my favorite animal for their grace, wisdom, relative solitude and that slightly cunning nature one needs in politics ;)

Schnafna-whuh?

Its from Borat.

The Naked Mole Rat.

I bow down in worship, your animal is amazing. But I still stick with Chocobos.

You gave some great reasons, I cant argue with that.

We choose the wolf because if it is alone it can live for years and still live heathly and strong. It can get food and defend itself for most anything. But when in a pack is even deadlier and stronger. Also our motto is, "Like a lone wolf we stand alone"


(ooc. also wolfs are just an awsome animal)

My nation Barabucha is known for it's common mammal, the furioucious, yet intelligent and stunning llama. Llamas are the coolest. The llama is the best nation animal there can be. I mean, seriously, what could be better than llamas? nothing. That's why Barabucha is so successful in many ways cause the llama makes everyone happy :)

I think should be quit about llamas being the best, we don't want another donkey-llama war.

This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megistotherium). You gotta respect it.

The Sloth. All they need is beer and a telly and they'll be perfect citizens :D
