Romania lynx? Source?
Probably Wikipedia but it's bullshit, it's based off a couple of random websites that make the claim with no basis. There's no animal being used as a national symbol in Romania.
The closest thing are the animals that appear on the coat of arms (eagle, bull, lion, dolphin) but the coat of arms is the national symbol not the animals. Otherwise you could say that the moon and walls are also symbols of Romania because they're also on there.
I thought so too. Maybe it's the most common wild animal? But I think that would the bear
Yeah, it's always been the lynx, officially. But indeed it's not a well known fact, nor is it used anywhere really.
You can google "romanian national animal", all you'll find is the lynx, everywhere. However, i'm unable to find the origin of it.
Strange. I never heard of it
I think i remember being told about it in sciences class in primary school decades ago... but yeah, it's not like it's used in any way anywhere.
