Below is a template for anyone to use if they'd like to make their own animal species, rather than a race. If you do decide to make one, please post the entry below so that this thread will become a general bestiary for all the lands. When you post be sure to include what land the animal species is commonly found at the top of your post, via the tags listed below, so it is easier to tell the animals apart.

(ie are they pets, work animals, or food supply)]
