Indeed. Stacking some sets with animals is a definite trend, across themes. 

And long may it continue!

Although I can't say I've really seen this in any Minifigure themes apart from City ones. Duplo and Friends have always had sets laden with animals.

There's a mostly black dog in monkie kid 80039, classic old shepherd/dalmatian mould but probably new print.

There is a winged lion in Mythica theme but it’s just brick-built.

Ooh that looks like it might be a more useful version of the ‘Grim’ in HP set

New coloured hare (based on Room of Requirement mould) and recoloured baby croc in 60353? A real shame as I was hoping the wildlife rescue set would be something more like the new set 41717 but Friends got it instead!

Right? Pretty sure it’s a mistake - and they will have eyes 

The ‘sharks’ are meant as decorations for a stunt ride, so not supposed to represent real animals and therefore they may not have eyes.

Too bad city doesn’t have giraffe yet!

I’m not into Friends animals but the giraffe could just about pass for a System one. Friends animals have big eyes and eyelashes but that’s true of giraffes in real life, so this giraffe doesn’t look as cutesy as most Friends creatures.

By the way, does a baby (from Mission set) have blue eyes printed?

I don't think so : no blue-eyed critter on the image of the set on Brickset...

Thank you for a link but this image is kinda hard to see real close to tell if it lacks blue eyes.

We really need to expand on the Roebuck lore

Woohoo

new animals!

Wildlife mission set has baby croc in lime green, adult croc in green, hare (HP mould) in brown, a brown flying owl, and what seems to be a baby black panther.

The reddish brown husky reappears too in another set

Ok Roebuck, did you secretly buy TLG or what?

Not with my salary, but I am starting to suspect they have hired my unknown twin brother as a animal mould consultant

It is definitely getting close, a really nice looking Friends animal mould I must say

The stuntz set promised a lot with their set names, but turned out empty. However I do not mind much at least my wallet is happy

I do not think I am so interesting as a person that it justify a lore

I say this as a Classic Space fan: Yes.

The horse from the blacksmith comes in another Disney set as well

[TeriXeri]

Not sure if mentioned before, but there's a Coral? frog in the wildlife mission set.

To me that image *does* look like the baby crocagator has blue eyes again. Given that the adults never have ‘standard’ black animal eyes, maybe that’s just how they are.

increasingly weirded out about the blank toy bunny in the Wildlife Missions set though … is that some sort of lure to entice the hare? 😜

I see the City ‘farm’ polybag has also been revealed. Not that interesting to my mind. Farmer figure with watering can, some accessories, a scarecrow build, small veg patch build with carrots and pumpkins, and a boring boring boring old white bunny.

@williejm, out of curiosity, are you still hoping for animals with Mohawks, aren’t you?

You could be right, I was busy looking at the other animals so I just assumed it was pink

Looks like the same eyes, but in black this time maybe

Unprinted sharks are weird 

In one of the missions sets there is also another “animal” mould that is unprinted in the form a plush rabbit:)

Well...to me the eyes of the baby croc don't look less black than the eyes of the minifigs or the eyes of the hare on any of Stonewars' higher resolution photos...Definitely not Marvelgator-blue anyways.
