Animal symbolism of Vietnam I think that if I have to answer a question about Vietnam's animal symbolism, I will say that a buffalo is the best answer. It is because Vietnam have been a agriculture country. Vietnamese have acquainted with fields for long periods. The farmer is still hard working with their work to make their children have better education, despite having some changes today. When the authorities make a buffalo to be the country's symbolism in large sport events like Seagame, they will change buffalo's colour to yellow. It could be stronger than its origin and help the symbol more precious.
