We have seen Lobster brand wrenches, but this is my first rodent family tool.
Any other animal brand tools out there?

I had an Elephant brand adjustable. I gave it to a friend from India. I have a Swallow brand DBE wrench. In Great Britain they had Snail Brand tools. Also in GB, Garrington named.their wrenches after birds. KESTREL, PUFFIN, ETC...
Here is a Snail brand Whitworth DOE wrench, a brand that Yadda just mentioned.

I guess Jaguar would qualify as an animal.

Cougar Pro is the brand name on socket sets made by I believe it is Williams.

Asian manufacturers seem to have an affinity for animal names: Lobster (excellent adjustables, BTW), Swallow, Crab
And let's not forget about our own U.S. made "Buffalo"
check my list for others
Don't forget that Snap-on called their 3/8 drive tools "Ferret" for some reason.
