Let’s try a new Wednesday series about our planet. It so happens that World Wildlife Day is rapidly approaching, coming up on March 3. In honour of the magnificent diversity of wildlife on our planet, many of whose futures are at risk due to loss of their natural habitat thanks to us, I thought it might be interesting to share 10 national animals on each of the next few Wednesdays. Interesting and hopefully fun.
Here are the first 10 national animals for you to try. Can you identify each animal? Do you know which country each animal represents? (You can always google for help!) I gave you a few easy ones and some others that are pretty hard. I’ll give you the answers to this group next week when I bring you the next 10 national animals.
Have fun!

I was just proud of myself for knowing the okapi.
Lol. I know exactly what you mean, Crystal. I saw one a few years ago for the first time in my life at some zoo – maybe in Animal Kingdom – and had no idea what it was. My very young grandson piped up, “Oh look, there’s an okapi!” Amazing. They must be found in … the Congo! 😊
I definitely need to do some research. Though some are familiar.
Research away, my friend, that’s what googling is for! Results will be available, same place same station, next Wednesday. 😊
Had no idea the unicorn was Scotland’s. But having read all the reasons, I understand! Interesting post, Jane!
I know, I absolutely love the idea of the unicorn being a national animal. It’s fun to peruse these trivial but fascinating factoids.
Some country’s animal is a unicorn??? I don’t know if they’re delusional or hopeful lol
Lol. I love it. I like to think of it as aspirational. You can find out what country by googling or by waiting until next week when I provide the answers!
I need an answer sheet that has a blank space next to the animal….beaver…which has a whole lot of meanings….and I think there was a unicorn….but I don’t get about half
Lol. You’re right about the beaver and the unicorn, LA. Do you know what countries they represent?! I’ll provide the answers to this week’s collection next week, but I can add blank lines by each pic if that would help. 😊
Canada for the beaver? Marina for the unicorn?
The beaver definitely belongs to Canada! Good job. Believe it or not, the US is represented as well. 😊
I need to look again!

Try googling “unicorn national animal”. What about the kangaroo? That should be an easy one!
I forgot about the roo…Australia…Scotland!!
Bravo!! ⭐️
