How national animals and birds are selected for a nation?

Question

I want to know the criteria

Answer 1

Most of the time its a near endangered species. They usually aren't so bad that they are on the endangered species list but are close. It can act as a way for animal rights people to protect them even though they aren't at the needed population level to be protected. This is true most times, but not all.

Answer 2

National symbols are symbols of any entity considering itself and manifesting itself to the world as a national community – namely sovereign states, but also nations and countries in a state of colonial or other dependence, (con)federal integration, or even an ethnocultural community considered a 'nationality' despite the absence of political autonomy.

National symbols intend to unite people by creating visual, verbal, or iconic representations of the national people, values, goals, or history.

These symbols are often rallied around as part of celebrations of patriotism or aspiring nationalism (such as independence, autonomy or separation movements) and are designed to be inclusive and representative of all the peoples of the national community.

In a number of countries, plants have been chosen as symbols to represent specific geographic areas. Some countries have a country-wide floral symbol; others in addition have symbols representing subdivisions. Different processes have been used to adopt these symbols - some are conferred by government bodies, whereas others are the result of informal public polls.
