what is the national animal of Belgium?
We actually have two:
Flanders has the mythical Flemish lion (Dutch: de Vlaamse leeuw) as national animal.
Wallonia has the same national animal as France: the Gallic rooster (French: le coq gaulois).
I think, I'm not sure, that most people are more likely to say the Flemish lion is the national animal of whole Belgium.

Obviously wrong

Those are the regional animals, but at the national level, the animal that serves as our symbol is also a lion. It can be seen on our coat of arms.
We have kept this animal from the time when we were one country with the Netherlands and Luxembourg. This lion is called "Leo Belgicus" (that can be translated to Belgian lion) and not Flemish lion.
The Belgian lion is yellow and has red claws and tongue. It stands on a black background, unlike the Flemish lion where the black and yellow colours are reversed.
This also explains why a lion similar to the one on the flag of Flanders can be found in Walloon provinces such as Hainaut, the province of Liège, Luxembourg and Walloon Brabant.
The current division of Belgium is very artificial and political. If you look at the history of each province and country of the Benelux, you will discover a lot of interesting things and you will better understand why each symbol is important. If you want to know more of our symbols, our national flower is the red poppy and our national bird is the common kestrel.
