These titles suck lol. Claws of the Panda? The second pearl harbor? These are things I would name fictional xenophobic books as a joke.
Hmm, what's something scary and threatening that I can associate with China? Oh, I know! Pandas!
America name a second Chinese animal
Dragons.
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.
I thought America's thing was the Opossum
... r-red panda?
edit: haha fuckin gottem
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!"
"The Second Pearl Harbor" sounds like a joke title or punchline from an animated comedy
