One of the visual hallmarks of a GNU system - and one of the things that I

some care when assigning cuddly cartoon creatures to functions.

The elephant is clearly already the emblem of postgresql, the rest are
relatively free agents. We don't have much in the way of friendly fish icons,
unless you count PHP?s porpoise (not a fish), Terrapin has already been used
although not in a GNU context. I think rabbits are still free range.
