Animals

So, I don't know about you, but I like to include animals in my stories. And it's helpful to have a list of a variety of animals so you can pick out the perfect species to fit in with what you have planned. So, for the reader's benefit, I'll create a list of animals that you may want to add to stories, or games, or anything else you do. Some of the animals you may have never heard of. I'm kind of an expert on animals, so I know what these are. If you don't know, look them up. Some of them are really interesting. And some of them are very vague. For example, there are several species of ducks, so I'm not going to list all of them. I'll try to arrange them in some sort of order. And if you have any to add, tell me and I'll add them. Now, if I have a crow on the list, for example, don't suggest a raven. They're just too similar. Only if the animal is significantly diferent than the ones on the list, please. Or just really cool and unique!
