What makes these animals clues "medium"?

Medium clues sit in the sweet spot: familiar enough to guess but detailed enough to need real acting. They usually take a few gestures and a little setup to land.

How do we play charades with this list?

Split into two teams, pick an actor, and start a one to two minute timer. The actor silently mimes the animals prompt while their team guesses. No talking, pointing at objects, or mouthing words. Score a point for each correct guess before time runs out, then swap actors and pass to the other team.
