One june 6, 2003, I asked if anyone ever attempted to make a list of
the different animal-faces in Duckburg, apart from the well-known
dog-faces, pig-faces, chicken(?)-faces (like Gyro) and rat-faces.
You can see some results below. In these results, I've decided to
include non-Duckburgians and rat-faces.
The reason for including non-Duckburgians is that I find the variety
of animal-face more important than their location.
The reason for including rat-faces is that they are scarce, and
sometimes it's discussable if they really are rat-faces.
Thanks to Nils Klartekst (4 stories), Frank Bubacz (6 stories), and
Roy Kooijman (1 story).
Additions and corrections are welcome, of course.

Frank Bubacz notes that last not least there also live human beings in
Duckburg. That's a different matter, though I would find it interesting
to see a complete list of Barks-stories with real humans. I think that
would be nice as another trivia-quiz. (Unless such a list already is
available, of course.)
