And it's close... It's very close.
llama 202
squirrel 204
On almost 100K nations the difference between llamas and squirrels is only 2. However, some nations have plural animals, so let's add those:
llamas 2
squirrels 1
The end score would be:
llama(s) 204
squirrel(s) 205
So, the age old question of which animal is not cooler may not have been answered, but the question of which animals is more popular is. Albeit with minimal difference
TBOFUS would like to note that animals like the 'five eyed llama' (1 instance) are not counted in this total. And, no, that would not equalize llamas with the squirrels. TBOFUS has also found an instance of the soviet squirrel and the squirril (sic). But we believe that these variants are not proper llamas nor squirrels.
And now for a top ten:
- eagle 3220
lion 2830
wolf 2218
dragon 1638
bear 1407
parhean rhinoceros 1361
tiger 1335
dog 1270
deer 1076
cat 1010
It seems a lot of nations out there have the eagle. Number 6 on the list is also quite noteworthy. TBOFUS also would like to add that there are 3 'parhean rhinocerous' running around.
The Blaatschapens former national animal the sheep only scores 212. Less than the 'animal' called 'human' which scores 398. (We're aware that this might be forbidden by the rules... unfortunately, because of the way the data was processed, TBOFUS cannot give a list of nations which uses this). At least sheep are still more popular than the pony (184).
And now for some fun 'animals':
the mods say i may not use humans as animal or currency, or use my custom fields to troll or be obscene (2 instances)
the mods say our custom fields may not feature humans or any part thereof, obscenities, racial slurs, or controversial statements (1)
A grand total of 28930 different 'animals' were found.
Enjoy, and next time TBOFUS might give currencies a try. TBOFUS is fully aware that there might be some bugs in its data processing methods. It will iron those out hopefully.
