Default Trivia Question - RAAC Badges

OK Badge Gurus - a trivia question for you

In relation to the official badges of the Royal Australian Armoured Corps (post 1980), how many different animals appear on the badges?

Here they are:

2/14 LH - Emu
2 Cav - Eagle
3/4 Cav - Scorpion
1/15 RNSW Lancers and 12/16 HRL - Elephant
PWLH - A pair of tiny horses
3/9 LH (SAMR) - Shrike
XLH - Black Swan
8/13 VMR - Kangaroo, Lion and a tiny sheep on the coat of arms
