I have been wondering Why the choice of the "Gibbon" monkey thing. For a Emblem?

Obscure Reference? The monkey thing is kinda cute in a way I guess. Strange that missed the reference?

It's a marmoset - and they couldn't find a platypus at short notice.

Ah, yes. The word itself comes from French, marmouset. Which now means "une figurine grotesque" according to the Petit Robert.
