The flag of New York City also features beavers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_New_York_City

The Astor Place subway station also contains several beaver tiles / bas-reliefs, because John Jacob Astor made his fortune with beaver pelts. EDIT: see https://www.nyhistory.org/blogs/beavers-john-jacob-astor

My daughter once spent a bunch of time going through all the flag emojis classifying them as stars, animals, trees, religious symbols (and probably some others). We found three flags with maps. Animals were almost exclusively birds, but there was also a sheep, a pair of lions, seahorses, a lobster and a conch.

Kosovo and Cyprus... what was the third?

The Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina has a triangle on it that is meant to represent the shape of the country (roughly).
