All countries need official fursonas; can't change my mind.
Hungary should have the mangalica, it's a furry pig, and it fits sooo well.
It's called a national animal
Nope. Animals aren't fursonas. A fox fursona isn't a fox. Fursonas are anthropomorphic.
Your mom is anthropomorphic
You're not wrong...
FYI: anthropomorphic just means it has human-like qualities of any kind. It can still be a regular looking animal and talk like, or behave like a human to be anthropomorphic.
What's wrong with having a furry mascot exactly? I mean the Japanese Air force had a furry mascot for one of their bases, not only is he a furry but also a femboy. His name is Omaneko (おまねこ)
Omaneko images
~~Google~~ Deepl's translation of the text in the first pic:
Cat with magical powers
Motif: “Nekozuka,” a tourist attraction in Omaezaki City
A member of the 1st Nyanya Police Force. He is currently stationed at the base because he wants to play with the radar dome.
He is 176 cm tall, or 40 m. He is good at sports, but not good in water.
He is a male.

Are you sure it isn’t the navy?

Yeah I'm sure about that.
It was a joke.
Bizarrely, I had never heard of this before, and I am Australian. So maybe it was released, but maybe quietly swept under the rug?
I'm in the same boat as you
Weird. A real thing that somehow made it through every level... This is truly a remarkable example of the Swiss cheese model in action.
I give you, an eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/314945286881
I don't see why any level would go "Oh furries are going to love this, and we can't have that" and change the design.
How many NBA mascots would lose their jobs if we were all so uptight about shit like this?
I don't see why any level, even knowing "furry" would find these particular designs "objectionable" and worthy of rejecting. They aren't even vaguely fetishized.
TIL Swiss cheese model
I hella want the coins. 😩
This has such MSI "there will be no bad dragons on my watch" vibes.
