Who else belongs in Alice's pool of tears?

I am trying to decide what other creatures belong in the pool of tears. I need suggestions.
Aurthur Rackham included a stork, a mouse, a crab, a raven, an otter and several unidentified birds. Kiki Smith drew a swan a mallard, a monkey, an owl, many birds and a couple of hard to identify critters--a sort of mousey thing, a hariy ape? and a pointy nosed fox-like animal. Take a look at the original illustration from Lewis Carroll's book. Just Alice and the mouse.












Here is the passage from Carroll.
"It was high time to go, for the pool was getting quite crowded with the birds and animals that had fallen into it: there was a Duck and a Dodo, a Lory and an Eaglet, and several other curious creatures."
Let me know what you would include?
Thanks,
Jan
