Ukraine
This is Pes Patron (Dog Cartridge). This little buddy is employed by State Emergency Services of Ukraine as a mine detection dog. He became so popular here and was promoted to official mascot of the emergency service. There is entire Patron subculture going on here, like cartoons, songs, merch etc. Despite being the most famous Ukrainian dog, this little fella still does his work at emergency service helping detecting mines and other ordnance.

Men rescue a dog that had fallen through ice, warmed it up and drove it to the vet clinic in their lap. It was a wolf.
Wolf is also the national animal of Estonia, so very fitting.

A Coywolf (Eastern Coyote) across the street from my front door.
She’s semi-famous: her specialty is walking the sidewalks in urban areas in broad daylight looking like an off-leash dog. She’s figured out street lights, and always crosses major streets at the crosswalk and waits for the walk signal! Locals have given her the name “Bunny”.

The Scottish Wildcat (a sub-population of European Wildcat), rarer every year as most are now hybrids with domestic cats. Really one of the last bastions of wild cats in the UK. Woven into our culture as Cat-sìth, a legend of large black cats (maybe Kellas Cats an early hybrid) who were witches / fairy folk. Also why in Scotland black cats are lucky unlike the rest of the UK.

Italy
In Italy, there is the beautiful story of "Lampo, il cane viaggiatore" (the traveling dog). Lampo is a dog from 50s, found for the first time got off a cargo train at the Campiglia Marittima railway station, near from livorno. That time he was a stray dog, so the stationmaster, Elvio Barlettani, decided to protect him in his office and then adopt him. Lampo fastly learned the train timetables (perfectly and never failed to get on the correct one) and almost every morning he would board the train in Campiglia on his own to go to Piombino to accompany the stationmaster's daughter to school, then return to Campiglia on a train going in the opposite direction. Every day he would board trains bound for different destinations, traveling alone across numerous Italian railway lines, then returning at the end of the day, always by train, to Campiglia. It's said that it even helped passengers orient themselves. Lampo was fatally hit by the cargo train in Campiglia Marittima, was buried in the flowerbed at the foot of an acacia tree at the railway station, and then a bronze statue now stands at Campiglia Marittima station honoring Lampo. The name "Lampo" (flash in italian) was given because of his speed, with which he traveled from one place to another like any other traveler.

Boto cor de rosa "the pink river dolphin" (our gay dolphin)
Liliana Spiro 1 day ago
These dolphins turn pink because their blood vessels are located very close to the surface of their skin. Because they live in murky river water where camouflage isn't as necessary as it is in the ocean, they have lost much of their skin pigmentation, allowing the blood flow beneath to show through. Males tend to (with age) go more pink

Drop bear.
tenhoumaduvida:
I heard they can be quite aggressive with humans and scratch them badly. It’s interesting because they look so adorable (when they are babies and dry and hanging on to their mom lol)
activelyresting:
It's similar to a koala, but they're carnivorous with large teeth and claws. They are called drop bears because they primarily hunt by hanging in trees and drop on prey below. Their preferred prey is kangaroos, they are adapted to land on the kangaroo's back and rip out its throat from behind. It's usually a pretty fast, though incredibly brutal. They will also attack humans, especially near mating season, or if they feel threatened.
When the British first arrived in Australia, many fell victim to drop bears, which almost prevented colonisation, but a massive culling operation was enacted with big rewards offered for drop bear hides. That, combined with massive destruction of their habitat means they became critically endangered today, and a protected species today, though their numbers are rebounding rapidly.
The Australian government mostly tries to reduce talk about drop bears because they worry that it will negatively affect tourism. But there's still casualties every year, and it's primarily tourists who are affected, because there's not enough education for tourists about how to avoid drop bear territory, though all Australians learn this in school.

In Montana, there was an old law on the books that makes a school principal responsible for horses "parked" at school. It's one of those laws that nobody bothered to change after cars and buses became a thing. So students decided to play a prank on their principal by riding their horses to school.
Lady Eowyn 1 day ago
And the principal took care of them, IIRC. There are a lot of old horse-related laws still on the books that nobody has bothered to change.

Massasauga Rattlesnake, this one being the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake to be specific. It’s also within the US, but it’s pretty rare in general unfortunately. It also has the unique distinction of being the only venomous snake native to Ontario.
I’ve actually been lucky enough to have seen one in the wild, it’s a gorgeous animal and I even got rattled at.
