Alliterative Animals

So I've been working on a book idea for a while now, sort of an illustrated tour of the alphabet and the animal kingdom, and I need some feedback on my letter/animal pairings. Please vote for your favorite in any instance where there are multiple choices for a letter, and also feel free to suggest any new pairing(s), as long as they fit the theme. Thanks!

Lupus is too popular with House and whatnot.

Might I suggest Leprosy? Always a winner, and rotting limbs always pop when illustrated.

I don't think horsefly is an animal but hamster is.
