There's been a few Zoo maps that existed during Half-Life's development:
zoo.bsp (a Zoo for all Human NPCs)
g_zoo.bsp (a Zoo for all the German versions of the Human NPCs)
alien_zoo.bsp (a Zoo for all of the Xen-based NPCs)
sprzoo.bsp (a Zoo for all of the sprites in the game)

With that knowledge, the attached image shows both a Chubtoad (Xen creature) and a Rat (non-Xen creature) next to each other. If its assumed no Xen creatures were in "zoo.bsp" then this deeply implies that the Rat is in "alien_zoo.bsp."

I find this fact deeply amusing.

do you think the chubtoad has ever been worked on logic-wise?
