Why is Britain's national animal a lion...

Why is Britain's national animal a lion? They aren't native to Britain and have nothing to do with the British character.

Lions = brave, dominant, feared and respected.
The British = brave, dominant, feared and respected.
Hmm...

The Barbary lion is a national animal of England. In the Middle Ages, the lions kept in the menagerie at the Tower of London were Barbary lions. English medieval warrior rulers with a reputation for bravery attracted the nickname "the Lion": the most famous example is Richard I of England, known as Richard the Lionheart.

>have nothing to do with the British character

Q: Which country created the largest empire in human history?

I'll give you a clue, it wasn't the US.

NoNow extinct.

it either comes from William the conqueror (french) or richard the lionheart (french)

I wouldn't really associate Britain with bravery. Cleverness, maybe. A crow would be appropriate.

It's from Richard the Lion heart.

I don't know whether you're trolling or are just really stupid (the latter is definitely possible with Americans).

The answer is of course Britain. Britain created the largest empire in human history. Why haven't you done so, DeMarcus? Is it too challenging for you?

Why are french posters so desperate

You know the Ottomans actually had the largest empire in history?

Right on 2nd place after the Khans.

>national animal is a cock

Because, House of Normandy

>central asia
it's fucking nothing.

In Chinese the word for Britain means brave.

No they didn't. The Ottoman empire was smaller than the Han, Yuan, Tang, Russian, Byzantine and Roman empires for starters.

probably because european cave lions used to live there

You mean Richard Cœur de Lion?

Hey look it's another case of Turks getting their facts wrong.

Why is yours an eagle? Eagles aren't fat and dumb. A walrus or a hippo would be more appropriate imo
