8Dio’s 66 Celli library has a seagull patch.
It’s used in the intro of this demo:

There are such sounds scattered about. The seagull sound is reasonably common. Fluffy’s Cartoon Maestro has a small set of these devices that are commonly used to score cartoons. But yes it would be nice to have a sample pack or VI devoted to collecting a large set of these.

There's a cuica in Cineperc and SD3 which emulates that sound of an opossum - also a wooden frog in SD3, which does sound a bit like a frog

I'm still searching for something that can accurately emulate the sound of an alligator though

You'll never get close with samples, just hire some real alligators!
On a more serious note, whilst not quite what @Francisco Relaño Peña was asking for, both approaching from the other end of the spectrum, a couple of things sprang to mind.
It would probably need a wrapper of some kind to get it working these days, but Xoxos Fauna was specifically designed to create animal noises with a combination of waveguide and PM techniques.
There's also Symphony Of Animals, which takes animal noises and makes instruments with them.

Tangentially related, but the bird sounds in Hitchcock's "The Birds" where made on a Trautonium (by Oscar Sala), an early 1930s synthesizer that Telefunken back in the day believed would become as common as pianos, so they developed the worlds first "peoples synthesizer", which promptly failed so bad that only 200 where ever built. It's a very cool instrument though, and I cover its history quite a bit in this video (from about the 4 min mark), for anyone interested (shameless self promotion ):

Between the global crisis resuting from the 1929 crack, and the rising of nazism, and WW2, I don't think the common people would have worried that much about the newest musical instruments.

This is not exactly what you are asking for but Loops de la Creme have two very intriguing libraries:
- Fire Virtuoso (percussion imitating fire)
- Songbird Virtuoso (playable (!) birds)
- Fire Virtuoso (percussion imitating fire)
- Songbird Virtuoso (playable (!) birds)
I vaguely remember a video that informs about what a fox sounds like, with accurate renditions of about 10 other animals at the beginning.

Can't believe I didn't think to mention this!
It's not only incredible, but genuinely unique.
