I'm wondering whether there are symbols implemented in LaTeX to create animals.
For example like the Bat in the marvosym, but for other animals.
I'm especially interested in Dolphin ;-)

The PST-fun package can create some animals (octopus, fish, dog, bird, ant, parrot, kangaroo, and pig) but they aren't symbols like the Bat you mentioned, they're macros.

Unfortunately, Detexify doesn't find anything, and neither does The Noun Project that Martin Scharrer wrapped into a .sty file.
However, if you manage to find a suitable symbol (with the right license), you could just define your own command to include it in a document. For example, on her site mytimetocraft.com, Beth has published a nice SVG of a dolphin. The images posted on that site are free for commercial and non-commercial use.
You could either convert that SVG to a PDF file, or you could just extract the path from the file and let TikZ draw it for you. By setting the scale factor as a product of the ex unit, the symbol will scale with the surrounding text.

How did you search on Detexify for a dolphin?
– Konrad Rudolph
Aug 31 '11 at 11:43
@Konrad: I drew what I thought a dolphin symbol might look like. It worked for theBatsymbol, which I hadn't seen before, but which showed up as the third result to my very crude attempt at sketching the Batman symbol =)

If you're interested in what symbols you can access through LaTeX commands, you might find the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List to be of some use to you.
But you won't find many animal symbols there. The few that I have managed to glean are not actually dingbats but symbols from the Phaistos Disk, accessible through the package phaistos.
Examples from the symbol list I've mentioned (p. 81):
(The cat symbol is lovely, by the way.) Still, you won't find any dolphins there, I'm sorry to say!

There are dedicated package to add animals (and other beings) to latex:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{tikzlings}
usepackage{tikzducks}
begin{document}
tikzbear;
tikzpenguin;
tikzmarmot;
tikzkoala;

tikzsnowman;
tikzrhino;
tikzmoles;
tikzsloth;
tikzpig;
tikzcat;
tikzhippo;
tikzpanda;
tikzmouse;
tikzduck;
end{document}
(the code above need the development version of the tikzlings package, which is available from https://github.com/samcarter/tikzlings)

How did you search on Detexify for a dolphin?

@Konrad: I drew what I thought a dolphin symbol might look like. It worked for theBatsymbol, which I hadn't seen before, but which showed up as the third result to my very crude attempt at sketching the Batman symbol =)

Unfortunately, Detexify doesn't find anything, and neither does The Noun Project that Martin Scharrer wrapped into a .sty file.
However, if you manage to find a suitable symbol (with the right license), you could just define your own command to include it in a document. For example, on her site mytimetocraft.com, Beth has published a nice SVG of a dolphin. The images posted on that site are free for commercial and non-commercial use.
You could either convert that SVG to a PDF file, or you could just extract the path from the file and let TikZ draw it for you. By setting the scale factor as a product of the ex unit, the symbol will scale with the surrounding text.

@Konrad: I drew what I thought a dolphin symbol might look like. It worked for the
Bat symbol, which I hadn't seen before, but which showed up as the third result to my very crude attempt at sketching the Batman symbol =)– Jake

If you're interested in what symbols you can access through LaTeX commands, you might find the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List to be of some use to you.
But you won't find many animal symbols there. The few that I have managed to glean are not actually dingbats but symbols from the Phaistos Disk, accessible through the package phaistos.
Examples from the symbol list I've mentioned (p. 81):
(The cat symbol is lovely, by the way.) Still, you won't find any dolphins there, I'm sorry to say!

The PST-fun package can create some animals (octopus, fish, dog, bird, ant, parrot, kangaroo, and pig) but they aren't symbols like the Bat you mentioned, they're macros.

We need a copy of the IDL's cat signal because it'd make a lovely operator for concatenation when simple juxtaposition means other things. internetdefenseleague.org/launch
