Wikipedia also has a list with more countries and animals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_animals
E.g. Denmark even has 3 national animals listed and not just the swan in the picture: Red squirrel (national mammal), Mute swan (national bird) and Small tortoiseshell (national butterfly).

We in Finland have 4. Other countries need to step up their game.

Wait we do? I didn't realize we even had one official animal, let alone 4
Edit: the Finnish Wikipedia claims we have 6 official animals, one of them being ladybugs:

There's one "national animal" and then there's national horse, insect, fish, bird, butterfly and one that wasn't on your list, national dog. So that'd be seven. Get on our level, other countries!
How could they leave out this good boy from hte list
