Here we go again Q5 "which animal is the national animal of Australia?" Well there are two on the National coat of arms; One is an Emu t'other a kangaroo. But the answer is Roo. Is a Bird Not an animal?
Hate to burst your bubble but the coat of arms of a particular country bears no relation to its national animal.

For example, the North American Beaver is the Canada's national animal, however, the lion and unicorn is on its coat of arms.
