When in doubt, lobby. From http://www.oreilly.com/news/ediemals_0400.html:

"We've learned all sorts of things about the animals from our readers and
authors. One author desperately wanted to have a boll weevil on his book
cover, so he sent me a pile of information about boll weevils, carefully
pointing out all of the reasons why the boll weevil was the perfect animal
for the topic. I ended up using it for his book, Oracle Web Applications."

Of course, squirrels often forget where they hid their nuts, so maybe
that's not such a good idea.
