The Official National Animal of Europe
Because Europe is a continent made up of several different countries, each with their own language and culture, there is no one single official national animal. Instead, you can find official national animals of individual European countries. For example, the lion represents bravery and courage, and it is one of the official national animals of the Netherlands, Norway, and England. Some countries do not have an official national animal. However, the big 5 animals of Europe are the European Bison, the lynx, the wolverine, the brown bear, and the wolf selected as the most impressive animals on the continent.Where To Find The Top Wild Animals in Europe

The Most Dangerous Animals In Europe Today
The European Bison is more dangerous than any bear, with bison mothers being prone to charging at anyone. Other dangerous mammals that are also some of the biggest animals are the Brown Bear, Wolverine, Eurasian Wolf, Wild Boar and Polar Bear. All are predators except for the European Bison and the Wild Boar. The Great White Shark is another very dangerous animal. The Common or European Adder, a common poisonous snake throughout Europe, is a small viper that lives in many different habitats. The Asp Viper is another venomous, dangerous snake. Some other dangerous animals are less obvious. The Castor Bean Tick transmits Lyme disease, Q fever, and tick-borne encephalitis, while the Portuguese Man O’War causes extreme pain, fever, shock, and respiratory issues which can lead to drowning. A relative of other black widow spiders, the Mediterranean Black Widow Spider is the most venomous spider in the continent. A pinprick-like bite results in severe pain and symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, rapid heart rate and breathing difficulty.Endangered Animals In Europe
Many of the biggest mammals, including apex predators, were hunted to extinction. For this reason, bears (especially brown bears) and wolves are endangered in Europe. The Saiga is an antelope that is also an endangered animal along with the European Lynx and the Wolverine.Extinct Animals in Europe
Three main species of extinct wildlife in Europe are the wooly mammoth, dwarf hippo, and dwarf elephant. They are large mammals that were hunted to extinction in prehistoric times.Unique Animals in Europe
Some of the most common yet unique wild animals in Europe are weasel-like animals, like the European Mink, Marbled Polecat, and the European Pine or Sweet Marten. But they aren’t the only weirdest animals. Related to them is the Wolverine, which is one of the weirdest animals because it is elusive. The European Bison was brought back from being endangered, and the Chamois is a goat-antelope. The Raccoon Dog is related to the fox but looks like a raccoon. A mix between several European bat species is the Alpine Long-Eared Bat. The Puffin is a sea bird with a large, brightly-colored beak.European Countries Animals Lists
