Ten thousand types of frost compete for freedom, do you know what kind of animals are the national treasures of each country? The world is so big that there are some rare animals in all countries that are regarded as national treasures, among which the Japanese sacred bird can only be seen in China.
10th place - red-breasted robin
Bright-eyed, lively and warlike, the red-breasted robin, a bird less than a foot long and looking cute, has a strong sense of patrolling and defending the territory.
It is for this reason that the British people admired it so much that in a referendum in 1960 it was selected as a national treasure and called it the "bird of God".
9th place - Korean tiger
The Korean tiger, also known as the Korean tiger, has an extraordinary significance for Koreans, and it was chosen as a mascot during the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, which shows the importance it attaches to it.
In the eyes of Koreans, the Korean tiger is not a representative of fierce beasts, but an auspicious animal, representing the attitude of Koreans to live in harmony with nature.
8th place - bald eagles
American Mu Qiang, this attitude was also brought to the selection of national treasures.
The national treasure of the United States is the bald eagle or American eagle, a large bird of prey known as a pirate bird. However, this bird has to face harsh competition for survival since childhood, and even faces the tragic fate of cannibalism, so its number is still relatively rare.
Seventh place - alpaca
Native to South America, alpacas are sacred beasts in the eyes of Peruvians. In fact, although this animal is spoofed on the domestic Internet, its appearance is quite high. In 2013, it was selected as the "seventh cutest species in the world" by CNN.
Today, there are more than 3 million alpacas in the world, more than 85% of which are in Peru, and only about 40,000 outside South America.
In 2002, the mainland imported 23 alpacas from Australia, which can be regarded as breaking the gap in alpaca farming.
Sixth place - Gallic chicken
As a French totem, the Gallic chicken has a long history in France, dating back more than 2,000 years to the ancient Roman era.
Some people say that this represents French arrogance, others that it represents the fighting spirit of France, and there are many explanations, but it is recognized that the Gallic chicken can arouse fighting spirit.
Before football matches, the French even drive roosters onto the field as a means of "motivating" their players. It can be seen that the status of the Gallic chicken in the hearts of the French is very high.
Fifth place - polar bear
If the chicken represents fighting spirit, then the bear represents strength, so the polar bear has a different connotation in the eyes of the fighting nation Russia.
At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, polar bears were immediately chosen as mascots, which shows that polar bears have a high popularity in Russia.
In addition, snow leopards are also popular in Russia, their bodies are fit, like a combination of strength and beauty, but relatively speaking, polar bears are more popular.
Fourth place - crested ibis
The crested ibis also nicknamed "Prison Bottom Sitting Bird", which is rare in number and beautiful in appearance, and is highly respected by the Japanese.
This bird used to be widely distributed in the eastern part of the mainland, as well as in North Korea, Japan and other regions, but later due to the environment, the population continued to decline, and the wild crested ibis was directly extinct in Japan, and the Japanese could only come to the mainland to watch.
Fortunately, scientists quickly found a way to breed the crested ibis in captivity, which kept the bird away from extinction.
Third place - Toyoyama Dog
Unlike the dogs that many people remember, the North Korean national treasure Fengshan dog has a very strong fighting ability, and it is said that it can even defeat Korean tigers. Because of its extreme fierceness, this dog was once used by North Koreans as the backbone of guard and hunting.
Most importantly, this dog is hardy, disease-resistant, non-picky eater, easy to feed, and very friendly to human cubs, so it is recognized by all countries.
In addition to the Korean Peninsula, there are also a small number of such dogs bred in the mainland Jilin Province, which are trained from a young age and are good helpers for the locals.
Second place - bullfighting
Bullfighting in Spain began as a religious practice and gradually transformed into a form of performance. At its peak, Spain had hundreds of bullrings, and large bullrings could accommodate tens of thousands of people at a time, which shows what a grand spectacle it was.
The Spaniards regard bullfighting as a noble art, and the selected bullfighting is naturally a highly respected treasure. Later, bullfighting was banned, and many cities in Spain also issued laws banning bullfighting, but the bulls used in bullfighting did not change their status as national treasures.
First place - giant pandas
The last thing to talk about is the giant panda on the mainland, and when it comes to history, the history of giant pandas is even older than that of the Gallic chicken, dating back to 8 million years ago. Therefore, the historical upload of "only riding a giant panda and fighting with the Yellow Emperor" is completely possible.
However, the current giant panda has long lost the wildness of the former "iron-eating beast", although the combat effectiveness is not weak, but most of the time is sleeping, and 99% of the food eaten is bamboo.
It is precisely because the giant panda is extremely cute that countries are vying for lease, and "panda diplomacy" once became a Meituan. In the early years, the number of giant pandas was very rare, but under the careful protection and care of the mainland, the number of giant pandas has reached nearly 2,000, getting rid of the endangered ranks.
However, even so, the identity of pandas as "Chinese national treasures" will not change, they are still the "heart treasures" of the Chinese people.
