I think it further works because the higher numbers seem to increase the rarity to the Japanese even with all of these animals associated with them. Turtles and lobsters are rather plentiful, as are apes; bears are a bit less so; lions exist but not in Japan (thus why its' high), and dragons are mythical and thus the highest number.
