I was searching for the polish national animal, which I though was the eagle. But along with the answer I see mostly pictures of a bison. What is considered to be the national animal according to citizens? Thanks in advance!

    Edit: typo, typing on mobile is hard

  2. This not a bison btw but bisons were brought to Poland so they would breed with żubrs. So the eagle is the national animal of poland but żubrs are very well know in Poland.

  3. Eagle 🦅 is on emblem of Poland.

    Bison is animal specific to Poland which now almost extinct.

  4. The European bison (Bison bonasus) or the European wood bison, also known as the wisent, the zubr.

    Zubr is most correct name here

  5. It’s quite simple:

    White eagle is our coat of arms. European bison (żubr) is our national animal.

  6. White eagle, European bison, white stork. In those order, I’d say.

  7. If you read it carefully; Żubr is a national animal of Poland whereas White Eagle is a national symbol of Poland.

  8. White eagle is purely symbolic. There is no white eagles in Poland. It’s like unicorn is national animal of Scotland. Żubr is real animal that we are proud of.

  9. That wagle had too much kielbasa and pierogi and is now too fat to fly.

  10. The eagle is a national symbol of Poland while the European Bison, or Wisent, is the national animal

  11. The Zubr got a bit peckish, so he decided to snack on some eagle. The eagle is still with us in spirit.

  12. What is there to explain, it’s clearly a white-tailed eagle.

  13. Looks like an eagle to me. Nothing wrong with it.

  14. Ah, so that actually what they call in Poland Żubr, hence Żubrowka, famous bison distilled vodka with grass leaf in it.

    Now the Polish for White tailed eagle is orzeł bielik.

    As you can see this not Żubr and infact Google is talking out of its arse.

  15. Yeah, they should definitely fix it, it’s obviously a brown-haired eagle 🤦

  16. is there an actual animal that is a white eagle on the Polish crest? i can’t find an image or the name of the actual bird all it shows is bald eagles.

  17. Żubr is one of animals characteristic to Poland and if in search there are words “Polish” and “animal”, them photos will be żubr. But in coast of arms there is White Eagle.

  18. It’s this leftie Wajrak! I’ll bet it’s his doing!

  19. this white tailed eagle just gained weight a little bit…
