The dolphin also comes in coast guard sets.  It's only
been available in one color (light gray) AFAIK.

This is the parrot element that Lawrence mentions.

The bird has come in four different colors that I know.  Dark
gray (castle, etc), red (Wild West), red with Parrot decoration
(endless pirate sets, etc), and yellow (in pirate ship 6274, as the
figurehead on the Carribean Clipper).

Sharks come in several different colors - at the least,
dark gray and white.  Are there others?

Also, there's the sawfish variant.

And there are Duplo killer whales that are pretty cool to
use in a minifig setting.

Snakes are available in two colors, red and black, right?

This freaked me out - I thought you had written "rats."
I wanted to know how I missed out.  =)

Also, there are spiders! They're in the amazon adventurer sets.

Additional animal elements: clams.  And do I remember seeing crab
and starfish elements in Belville sets?

Also -- it's a bit mundane, but the belville kitten, while a bit
large for minifigs, works on their scale.  It's been available in
white and black, at least.
