Current Animal Themes for Band Names

I was listening to NPR last night, and they were talking about songs of the year. One of the things they brought up was the crazy number of animal-themed band names currently. Here are a few, I'm sure you can add more:

Caribou
Minus the Bear
Grizzy Bear
Animal Collective
Band of Horses
Deerhoof
Horse the Band
Sparklehorse
Cat Power
Arctic Monkeys
Modest Mouse
The Mountain Goats
Super Furry Animals

etc...

It's sort of interesting. I guess it's simliar to the trend a few years back where every band was "The" something. The Strokes, The Shins, The White Stripes, The Eels, The Doves, The yada yada yada.
