Asiens Nationaltiere

Scotland has the unicorn, North Korea has a winged horse.

Not sure if Sri Lanka actually has a national animal. But the best options would be either the Sri Lankan Elephant, Lion or Sri Lankan Junglefowl (which is considered the national bird). The giant squirrel which some consider the national animal, is not that suitable, given the fact that its a pest and farmers hate it.

Grizzled Giant Squirrel is the national animal of Sri Lanka. There are proposals to “dethrone” it due to unpopularity. As far as I know those proposals have not come into effect yet.

Elephant is not, and never was the national animal of Sri Lanka 

As far as I know there is no official national animal in Singapore.

The closest thing would be the Merlion and not lion.

Its not a mythic animal!

Singapore and South Korea got Zero Lions and Zero Tigers in the wild btw

Why do the Indian and Bangladeshi Bengal tigers look different?

Nothing beats having the tiger as the national animal though. Watching one in the wild has been my best wildlife experience by far. What a majestic beast. The true and only king. (Lions can go fuck themselves)

Nepal, you could have jazzed it up a bit.


So Tiger is the most common national animal in Asia.

I too watch H0ser

Not so fun fact: [Malayan Tiger population has seen its sharpest decline in 25/26](https://programs.wcs.org/malaysia/About-Us/News/ID/25398.aspx)

>Poaching, food loss and diminishing habitat have slashed the population from *3,000* in the 1950s to less than *150* roaming free today, according to official estimates.

The Taiwanese bear looks like he’s having a smoke break 🤣
