One solution you could use is to assign a more generalized class to any div you want the click event handler bound to.

For example:

JS:

$( ".selected" ).each(function(index) {
    $(this).on("click", function(){
        // For the boolean value
        var boolKey = $(this).data('selected');
        // For the mammal value
        var mammalKey = $(this).attr('id'); 
    });
});
