Animals Are 'Fine'

If you want to define animal groups, how many do you know? There is obviously a finite number, but I'm not sure if the list below is final. For now at least, I have confined them to what is seen below. I think the list is ultrafine. How many have you heard of?

Asinine: Donkeys or asses 
Cervine: Deer 
Corvine: Crows or ravens 
Delphine: Dolphins 
Elephantine: Elephants 
Equine: Horse
Caprine: Goats 
Leonine: Lions 
Leporine: Rabbits or hares 
Lupine: Wolves 
Murine: Mice, rats, or rodents 
Ophidian (Serpentine): Snakes 
Piscine: Fish 
Sciurine: Squirrels 
Ursine: Bears 
Vulpine: Foxes

There were some I'd never heard of. 
If you can add ot the list, I'll refine it.
