Well for a definition of real, I guess. The Dodo used to exist IRL but now no longer does. Except that in Purpelia it sort of magically survives, thrives and is often seen as a pest due to breeding rapidly and eating stuff sort of like Australian rabbits. How that is supposed to work don't ask me.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

It's the Lion of Nassau or the Leo Belgicus, more or less a symbolisation of the Low Countries as an animal. Lions do exist, but the Lion of Nassau doesn't.

Yes, although not as much a species than perhaps a type of organism. We are all familiar with mutants, right? Well, only highly mutated organisms have a chance at surviving over here. We are all mutants, only mutants, nothing but mutants. We don't disallow anyone from entering our planet, since some organisms are more open to environmental mutation than others and may survive from a fair amount of it.

In real life, our national animal does not exist.

In our cannon, the griffin does exist however.

Aldina's national animal, the golden eagle, is a very real creature. However, the two-headed heraldic eagle depicted on the flag is not.

Our national animal, the Feline, may sound like an actual animal. However, it is not, the Feline is anywhere from double to quadruple the size of a regular domestic cat, apart from that, it is visually indistinguishable from its smaller counterpart.

Dragons are real in Equestria. Of course, Equestria's population consists of pastel colored, magical talking ponies, so "real" is a somewhat subjective term here.

The national animal of the queendom is the kiang; in my verse, the kiang were docile enough to be successfully tamed by the first Dahoni kami Yakumo Yukari, who brought ten of them from the plains of Central Asia to Dahon (at least according to this verse's legendary accounts about the kami). The secret as to their taming was lost sometime after the unification of Dahon; today, having adapted to northern Dahon's steep and rugged environment, it roams the country's mountains in numbers so plentiful that the monarchy instituted a hunting season to control the population in 1933, awarding successful hunters (whose hunting arsenals are handed down by the government in order to get around an eighteenth-century royal edict prohibiting the carrying of arms) a lump sum per set number of kills of adults.
Authoritarianism kills all. Never forget that.
