One of my friends suggested I attempt to draw the twelve Doctors from Doctor Who as furries. So here's my takes on them! I had a little help from a few friends along the way deciding on the species'.
FIRST DOCTOR: William Hartnell was a grandfatherly type of doctor, just as Badger from The Animals Of Farthing Wood was a grandfatherly type of character. I merged the two together.
SECOND DOCTOR: I had thought about rat, but a fox suits Patrick Troughton too.
THIRD DOCTOR: John Pertwee as a Border Collie, because I thought that his size and iconic wild grey/white hair worked with this.
FOURTH DOCTOR: Tom Baker's doctor is a loud, proud character. A lion seemed very fitting for him.
FIFTH DOCTOR: A friend suggested Peter Davison would be a fieldmouse, which works given the Fifth Doctor's timid and reluctant hero personality.
SIXTH DOCOTR: Colin Baker as a bear. Nothing much else to say really other than the fact he was very underrated as the Doctor ^^.
SEVENTH DOCTOR: This one was quite weasley and manipulative, so Sylvester McCoy just had to be a weasel.
EIGHT DOCTOR: Paul McGann's hairstyle immediately made me think springer spaniel. It goes with the outfit really!
NINTH DOCTOR: Christohper Eccleston was my Doctor. I loved his rough and genre-savvy nature, and an otter seemed to suit him.
TENTH DOCTOR: More eccentric and childlike than his predecessor, I though David Tennant would make a good deer.
ELEVENTH DOCTOR: I didn't watch any of the Matt Smith series', but I thought an owl really suited this guy ^^.
TWELTH DOCTOR: Peter Capaldi is rugged, Scottish and quite savvy. So of course, he is a Scottish Wildcat!

The weasyl for McCoy is so spot on. :D Love the fieldmouse Davison as well. :)
The rat would have went very well with Troughton, actually. Since his episodes are in black and white anyway, a critter with grey fur would have been a great fit. But yeah, there's a fox personality sitting inside his Doctor as well, so this portrait works just as fine. :)

The Fifth Doctor was my fav hands down!
Funny you post this when I've been reading an alternate timeline over on Alternatehistory.org about a USA produced Dr. Who series. That TL has the UK Doctor lineup affected too - the Fourth Doctor in that scenario is NOT Tom Baker but Bernard Cribbins. Yes, the narrator of the Wombles and the guy who beats up Basil Fawlty in the Fawlty Towers episode "the Hotel Inspectors" became the Fourth Doctor in that alternate timeline!

Sorry it's taken me so long to comment on this outstanding piece - work keeps me away from FA and I often have to catch up.
As with your American presidents piece this is highly innovative at matching their personalities to the characteristics of the species. Some of them surprised me, such as Troughton as a fox, and McCoy as a weasel, but the more I thought about those choices the more I realise I couldn't have chosen better. Though I can only appraise up to Tennant, as I haven't watched any episodes beyond him as yet.
One fact I've looked for in the comments and haven't seen is that with the exception of lions all of the animals you've chosen here appear to be indigenous to the United Kingdom, to the best of my knowledge, including bears at one point in history. Was that intentional? If yes, that's a clever approach.
I agree that Colin Baker was underrated. I believe that he took the fall for a lot of imprudent decisions about the 6th Doctor's character made by John Nathan-Turner. (This will be contentious, but I did NOT like him as producer of the series.) I also feel that Paul McGann was excellent in the telemovie and would have gone on to be just as good in a TV series if given the chance.
There would be too many Dr Who companions for you put into a sequence, which is a pity because I'd love to see your choices on Zoe Heriot, Jamie Mccrimmon, Liz Shaw, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Sgt. Benton Jo Grant, Sarah Jane, Leela, Romana I (my 2nd favorite companion after K9), Romana II, Adric, Nyssa, Tegan, and Ace. Maybe if you have time you could just comment on what your animal choices would have been for them?
Either way, at some future point do you think you could do one of these sequences involving some female celebrities?

Well… you could spend 287 hours, 06 minutes and 38 seconds watching the all the surviving episodes. Or these that I’d personally recommend:
Seeds of Death: Zoe Heriot and Jamie Mccrimmon (not to be confused with “Seeds of Doom”, the 4th Doctor serial). Inferno: the only episode from the classic series to involve a parallel universe Earth and the companion actors were brilliant at playing alternative roles of their characters, features Liz Shaw, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Sergeant Benton and their mirror-universe counterparts. Either The Claws of Axos, The Three Doctors or The Green Death for Jo Grant. Terror of the Zygons: An iconic episode featuring Sarah Jane Smith along with the Brig & Sgt Benton again (spoiled only by the lame CSO puppet in the Thames right at the end). Face of Evil: Leela’s debut, and a good introduction for her character. For Romana I either The Ribos Operation or The Pirate Planet. For Romana II either Destiny of The Daleks (wearing a feminine version of the 4th Doctor’s outfit) or City of Death, though she’s also in Full Circle which introduces Adric. I wasn’t enthralled with the John Nathan-Turner era, so for the companions during that period I’d just recommend the episode they debuted in.
