National symbols of Switzerland

As of 2020 the Swiss legislature has made three Swiss national symbols official, a flag, coat of arms, and anthem, but various other symbols are used as well to represent the Swiss people.

Switzerland currently does not have a national animal, but the animal most commonly associated with Switzerland, or Alpine culture in general, is the cow.

[12] However, various other animals have been used to represent the Swiss nation, such as the marmot, ibex, St. Bernard, and blackbird.

[13][14][15] There are also a handful of cantons who use a certain animal as a symbol.

These include the bear, bull, ram, ibex, lion, and eagle.
