What is the main animal in France?
The Official National (State) Animal of France. The official animal of France is the Gallic rooster. The use of this animal actually stems in part from a linguistic accident. The Latin words for rooster and Gaul (the historical region of France in Roman times) were both the same: gallus.
Is there wild bears in France?
