Character Design - Animals

Throughout my research I noticed that most designer toys are based on animals or have features of certain animals.
Similarity between Dunny and a rabbit

Rolfs' similarities to a raccoon
(wearing tiger skin)

Early in the project I decided that I wanted my toy to be based on an animal as my previous toy, Rolf, was based on a raccoon and he turned out very successful because of the unique features of a raccoon. I want to achieve this again. 

To help me decide what animal I will base my toy on I started researching into animals and their body shapes.
Examples of the animals I have looked into so far are:
Gorilla                               Wolf
Tapir                                 Wombat 
Rabbit                                Deer
Raccoon                            Squirrel
Platypus
