Everybody left out the Orangutan!
Some would argue a Dragon is an animal.
Kangaroo Defense! Actually not a bad opening at all.
Some friends and I at my high school championship this year were trying to come up with an all-animal repertoire.

The Creepy Crawley Opening.
Playable by black or white.
Basically, whomever plays it ignores chess principles ( and their opponent) and plays any combination of 1.a3/a6..2..h3/h6....3.c4/c5....bizarre pawn formations/attacks result. With smug players ,on the wrong side of this opening, getting overrun before they realize what is a foot. Also known as the Clemenz Opening,
Congrats to all contributors of this great thread!

The Lion's jaw should really get more credit. I played against a ~2000 OTB game while I have ~1700 and I won in the Lion's jaw. It usually leads to sämisch positions and it is my preferred response to the annoying Pirc. White gets a big center and space while black's kingside bishop usually stares at a pawn for the rest of the game. White plays on the queenside and black on the kingside.
What about the Pterodactyl? Even though it's kinda extinct.(The animal, not the opening.)
The mad dog attack
Racoon Variation
Giraffe opening
Rhino System
Hippo System
Hedghog System
Sicilian Dragon/Chinese Dragon
Tiger Modern
Raptor Variation
Spanish Game Nightingale Variation
Monekys Bum
Unicorn Variation
look those up...
