Shoud we have a unique national animal?

[Aseer]

It has been nagging at my mind for a while and I know it may seem irrelevant but isn't it annoying to have a leopard as our national animal? like majority of African nations have a leopard as their national animal and not to mention Somalia has a fair share of our own unique native animals that are worthy and deserve to be our national animal not some animal that is found everywhere in Africa you know? Post your thoughts and suggestions on what national animal is the best to represent Somalis and Somalia as a whole and whether or not it should stay as it is or if I am right or wrong!

Yeah, there is but I don't know many.

Most countries choose animals that are either strong, like lions, or symbolize freedom, like birds. Alternatively, they may choose mystical creatures like dragons or unicorns i.e. wales and Scotland but that is rare.

The goodir is majestic and can show a sense of power and uniqueness and other stuff (I am trash at analysing I'm going to just pass this onto some english nerd here to break it down for us)

The secretary bird is my pick. The enemy of the serpent (i.e Satan) vibes well with us Muslims.

would look amazing on a coat of arms

Gerenuk is the obvious choice. Virtually found only in Somalia

British had it on their Somaliland coat of arms too

 

[Himmler]

Camel is the only logical choice

Same way a dog is an Cadaan man’s best friend, a camel is a lamagoodles best friend
