In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?

It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.

Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.

i’m from australia and i’m always excited to see squirrels… they don’t exist here at all

I have some friends in Australia and I always send them pictures of squirrels when I see them. Got TONS where I live.
