While I cannot remember on top of my head live example of plugin with a gif, there are quite a few with videos and at least ones using animated PNG as header (AJAX Comment Loading).
So I would say — yes you can, but no guarantee it will end up well. It’s not explicitly forbidden or allowed either. 🙂 Might be better to load gif from plugin too (like screenshots) and not as external resource.
