Aurentine Quail (Callipepla aurentinia)
The Aurentine quail is a species unique to Aurentinia, and many think it should be the national bird. This quail has the longest wings of any quail, and can even soar through the air like a hawk. These quails live in social groups of 10 to 15 individuals with no one quail being dominant over another. They mostly eat bugs and the occasional lizard. Aurentine Quails will lay two to three eggs sheltered beneath a shrub or thick grass, with the parents circling overhead.

Um, we used to be an old byzantine colony.

Thats all the exuse we need to have the eagle as our national animal!

Edit: by the way, for the person arguing earliar we were an axis occupied country in ww2, thats pretty unlikely actually. If we are close to malta, chances are the british defended us as hard as malta as if malta fell Rommel could have gotten the fuel he needed to win.
So probably we were bombed heavily, but held. Thats based off me thinking we are near malta and libya.

NO!! NO EAGLES! Everyone has an eagle as their national animal. :mad:

At the very least, pick a stronger and more defiant animal then... A quail.

The only problem I see is that calling the national fish a seahorse is like calling the national mammal a deer. We need to be more specific.

It's a specific seahorse, Hippocampus hippocampus, better known as the Short-snouted seahorse.

Their preferred habitat includes sea-grass beds! That means Aurentinia can have dugongs.

We could, but we would have to have a legitimate reason or it wouldn't be allowed. Invasive species can be dangerous to native life, but dugongs hardly seem like they would cause any damage as long as we don't already have a sea grass grazing mammal.
