You're right; Brains are only specified in "Return of the Living Dead' (my fave next to NOTLD) but I think it became so iconic that it stuck. Plus... We've seen in the Romero moves that you can kill a zombie by destroying the head/brain... so I guess that established "brain" in the folklore too.

There have been whole movies dedicated to animals becoming zombies: "Black Sheep"... "Pet Semetary"... but you don't often see human zombies and animals on a synchronized killing spree.

"Zombie Fish" would make a great movie... sort of like "Piranha."

Incidentally... the latest dieoram features a zombie cow.
