Mick Jagger is definitely a rabbit or hare: jumpy, humping anything he sees, big attitude uhh... bad teeth?

I see it, though I feel like I would be failing to incorporate into American culture if I didn't root for my state and contend that he was a Gator

He has also said he regrets the name and should have gone with "The Immortal Gene", and that's definitely true. Pretty much the entire book is him giving examples of altruism in nature (he built the theory off it) - the exact opposite of what people misunderstanding the concept say it supports.

Having actually read the book itself, it's curious because through subtext in a couple of analogies he gives in the first half, you do get the idea that he doesn't support the welfare state and such

But yeah, generally 70s Dawkins was clearly more intellectual and open-minded than modern Dawkins is
