fried in garlic butter. In other states I've encountered brown bear, I have seen at a distance mountain sheep. Animals are pretty interesting. I've been fortunate to work all over the western US, sometimes in wilderness areas, and this has given me lots of chances to see critters. California has some nasty spiders like black widow, brown recluse, and a species of tarantula. I bitten in the arm by a brown recluse. I ignored it and the venom ended up rotting tissue to the bone and infecting my lymph glands...nasty business! Oh...the national bird of the US is the bald eagle, which Theodore Roosevelt once called a dandified vulture!

2019-06-11 18:30:56 +0000 UTCThe state animal of California is the Golden Bear, which is really a subspecies of the brown or grizzly bear. This critter became extinct in the 1920s. We also have a state bird, the California quail, state amphibian the red legged frog, state fish the golden trout (a subspecies of rainbow trout), state marine reptile the Pacific leatherback sea turtle, state marine mammal the grey whale, state butterfly the dogface butterfly, and state reptile the desert tortise. We even have a state fissile, the sabertooth tiger.

2019-06-08 21:18:46 +0000 UTCThe national animal of Austria is a Black Eagle, kind of boring. What’s wrong with a beaver? It’s unique. I’d prefer the Alpine Marmot for Austria, pretty scary beasts!

2019-06-08 19:21:29 +0000 UTCYes, USA is the Bald Eagle. The mammal for Texas is the Longhorn, the Armadillo and/or the Mexican Free-Tailed Bat depending on how far back you go. The Longhorn is probably the most widely known though.

2019-06-08 14:32:24 +0000 UTCCheers Alanna! I never knew Scotland's animal was a Unicorn. I thought you were having a laugh but apparently not! Wales is also associated with a dragon - now that is cool! If you want to see deer and your visiting the Peak District, Chatsworth House is the place to go. They have herds roaming free in the grounds (which are quite extensive). You could technically go right up to them but not sure it's recommended! Scotland reintroduced Golden Eagles (7ft wingspan!) a few years ago, they are breeding so well that the farmers are complaining they are eating all their lambs - who would have thought...

2019-06-08 11:45:52 +0000 UTCWe had bears and wolves but I think they were hunted to extinction here many centuries ago. Red squirrels can be found in parts of Scotland, they used to be widespread but I think grey squirrels arrived and brought a germ which killed many of them. Looking forward to your next video soon.

2019-06-08 11:31:33 +0000 UTCBadgers, of course!! How could I forget. Glad to hear you guys have some deer up there, too!

2019-06-08 10:07:54 +0000 UTCYou missed the mighty badger! We killed all our large predators as most of the country is farmed I reasonable regularly see deer walking in Hampshire and they are even more common elsewhere I knew it was the beaver which made your reaction even funnier
