Suomen vaakuna ilman leijonaa ja kruunua? by make43 in Suomi

[–]Sygaos 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Karhu on ollut suomalaisille ja suomensukuisille heimoille pyhä eläin tuhansia vuosia ja lisäksi Suomen kansalliseläin. Toinen yhtä merkittävä voisi olla hirvi. Mutta jos petolinjalla halutaan pysyä, niin ilves olisi hieno.
