        They stand on their hind legs and show their claws to appear larger and more threatening.

          Which, because they’re tiny and hug shaped, looks like “pick me up! I want a hug!”

      I’ll be honest, I’d be hard pressed to name many animals strongly associated with specific countries. Off the top of my head:

      USA - Bald eagle/American bison
      Mexico - Golden eagle
      Canada - Caribou
      Peru - Alpaca
      Bolivia - Guinea pig
      Russia - Brown bear
      India - Indian elephant/Bengal tiger
      China - Giant panda
      Australia - a zillion species only native to Australia
      Japan - tanuki (raccoon dog)/those macaques that hang out in hot springs

      …yup, that’s all I’ve got.

        Canada is obviously a beaver! Or a moose. But I think the beavers are more hug shaped and fluffy. I’d say a penguin for Antarctica, but that’s a continent, not a country.
