My own humble tribute thread to Zilla, since we're in self-appreciation mode (and because it's sometimes hard to find decent, intelligent people on the inter-tubes these days), these are
song titles or lyrics referring to the animal kingdom (real or imagined...as we know, giant fire-breathing lizards are totally cool). Here are a dozen to kick us off:
Alligator - Grateful Dead
Albatross - Fleetwood Mac
I Am The Walrus - Beatles
Dragon Attack - Queen
Rats - Pearl Jam
Run Like An Antelope - Phish
Raven - Dave Matthews Band
Badfish - Sublime
Crawling King Snake - John Lee Hooker
Bear's Gone Fishin' - Widespread Panic
Three Little Birds - Bob Marley
Pigs On The Wing - Pink Floyd
Happy Friday, All...!!

Thanks for the kind words, and for a very funny and interesting idea.
While Godzilla is not exactly from the "animal kingdom" but the horrific result of nuclear testing gone bad, so "imagined" creatures it is.
O.K. , since I can't think of any right now....
...The Mule- Deep Purple
Animal Magnetism-Scorpions
Rats in the Cellar-Aerosmith

Boris the Spider -- The Who
Pigs on the Wing was mentioned. You can add the entire Animals album by Pink Floyd:
All three songs with Pigs in the title Pigs on the Wing (Part 1); Pigs (Three Different Ones), which is the long song and one of my favorites from Floyd, and Pigs on the Wing (Part 2).
Also:
Sheep
Dogs
