Elefants have them too!

I'm sure there is an exception for creatures made from fabric and foam, somewhere.

Makes sense. Evolution gives prey animals eyes with as wide a field of vision as possible, so they can detect predators better. Elephants are too large for predators to mess with and so is big bird.

The elephant in the picture though is smaller than a mouse

The reference mouse is oversized

But the elephant is also roughly the size of a duck.
