For example like the \Bat
in the marvosym, but for other animals.
I'm especially interested in \Dolphin

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 theex
unit, the symbol will scale with the surrounding text.will yield
Here's the code for the above example:
