I took screencaps of animals from the chibi episodes. First is Momoko and Ryoma woken up and scared by a bear in the Tenipuri Family episode where they are on vacation.
Some of the following will have two or more images combined into one. I did that to decrease the number of images I would have to upload and link.
I know it's not the holidays, but here are images of Captain Yukimura dressed as the reindeer, Rudolph, and Sanada as Santa Claus. First, Captain Yukimura is having trouble standing. Baby Kaoru runs into them and knocks them flat on the ground.
In the detective episode, we have chibi Karupin. First, he is at the faucets as Inui washes his face. In Inui's flashback, Kaidou is playing with him. Why does Kaidou have to be afraid of people seeing him with animals?
In the chibi episode of the Seigaku regulars living in the mountains, Echizen is trying to feed dango to an uninterested dog, pheasant, and monkey.
In the mountains, we see that he and Kaidou are both able to call out cobras from an urn.
The first year trio are turtles in this episode, and are thanking the regulars for saving them from the bullies. To express their gratitude, they let them pick a box.
In the western episode, Kikumaru is a cat or wearing a cat costume. I'll post this scene of him on Oishi since many people seem to like it. How can a cat talk and stand on two legs?
Kabaji is Don Atobe's horse, and he can become human. Actually, it looks like a horse costume.
How can cats and horses wear space suits? I know it's fiction, but it's still ridiculous.
In the Tenipuri Family episodes, Baby Kaoru can become a snake. The second one is just a snake toy of him.
Here is Kikumaru cat playing catch with chibi Karupin, almost like the way humans do. Then we have Kikumaru cat standing on two legs and wearing an yukata, like a person.
To find Baby Kaoru, Ryoma and Momoko treat their cat like a dog.
Now for some random unnamed animals. We see an eagle in the western episode, and a crow in a Tenipuri Family episode.
As Syuko worries and paces around, waiting for Baby Kaoru to bring the wallet, there is a dog sitting in the background.
Finally, we have Baby Kaoru and Kikumaru cat playing with the animals they released from the pet shop. I've never heard of keeping bears and elephants as pets, not even on a farm.

Sorry for the overload. I like animals, so I tend to get carried away when it involves them.
