Club badges and animals...

[General]

Just noticed how many teams seem to have an animal in their club crest/badge - Brentford have a bee, Millwall a lion, Bristol City a Robin,  Hull obviously a tiger.. and the list goes on.

Does anyone know how many clubs have animals, what they are and why the club chose those particular animals officially?

A bee whilst I get its characteristics seems pretty niche..

Coventry have an elephant on theirs, Derby a ram, Swansea a swan (is it that simple or are there a lot of swans in Wales?), Ipswich a horse, Wycombe wanderers a goose?, Cardiff a bluebird, Sheffield Wednesday an owl..

[General]

Watford have a moose?, Wolverhampton a wolf, Norwich a canary, don't know what bird is on tottenham's.. and crystal palace an eagle... a well known bird to that part of town?

Go figure... during the 1894–95 season that Brentford's original nickname of "The Bs" originated, when friends of amateur forward Joseph Gettins chanted Borough Road College's war-cry "buck up Bs" at a match. The local press interpreted the nickname as "the Bees", which stuck and came to be Brentford's nickname.

Mansfield Town have a stag ( hence their nickname ) - ref to the deer found in Sherwood Forest which surrounds the town along with the , now redundant, slag heaps.

Thankfully the crowd chant  'C'mon you Stags '- rather than the obvious alternative
