Before you read this, I will tell you that I didn't include all the animals listed in this book, as some are much more obvious than others. Some I listed by scientific name, even if they did have common names, just because their common names could lead to some amounts of confusion, and I wanted to keep it as confusion-free as possible. I have questions about a few of the species, those will be in bold, if it is not too much trouble, could you answer them? I also have a few links for you
Anyway, without further adieu, here it is:
