Guloninae
Guloninae is a subfamily of the mammal family Mustelidae distributed across Eurasia and the Americas. It includes martens, fishers, the tayra, and the wolverine. These genera were formerly included within a paraphyletic definition of the mustelid subfamily Mustelinae.

Nucras is a genus of African lacertid lizards, commonly called sandveld lizards.
Indian tent turtle
species of reptile
Pteropus caniceps
species of mammal
Dendrophylliidae
Dendrophylliidae is a family of stony corals. Most (but not all) members are azooxanthellate and thus have to capture food with their tentacles instead of relying on photosynthesis to produce their food. The World Register of Marine Species includes these genera in the family:
Hydrophis melanocephalus
species of reptile
Furcifer lateralis
species of reptile
Alces
Alces is a genus of artiodactyl mammals, that includes the largest species of the deer family.
Mauritius ornate day gecko
species of reptile
Java pipistrelle
species of mammal
Oldham's leaf turtle
species of reptile
Gekkoninae
Gekkoninae is a diverse subfamily of the family Gekkonidae, geckos. It has the most species and genera — over 850 species in 30 genera. Hemidactylus and Cyrtodactylus together account for 185 species.
Callosciurus inornatus

American legless lizard
family of reptiles
Amphiumidae

Cuban fig-eating bat
species of mammal
Lady Burton's rope squirrel
species of mammal
Cryptomys
Cryptomys is the genus of mole-rats, endemic to Africa. Most of the species formerly placed in this genus were moved to the genus Fukomys in 2006.

Hemidactylus brookii
species of reptile
Caspian red deer
subspecies of mammal
Atelinae
The Atelinae are a subfamily of New World monkeys in the family Atelidae, and includes the various spider and woolly monkeys. The primary distinguishing feature of the atelines is their long prehensile tails, which can support their entire body weight.
Glaucidae

Fasciolariidae
Fasciolariidae is a family of small to large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Buccinoidea. Species in Fasciolariidae are commonly known as tulip snails and spindle snails.
Heleioporus
Heleioporus is a genus of frogs native to Australia. Of the six species in this genus, five live in south-west Western Australia, while the other one species only occurs in south-eastern Australia. All members of this genus are medium to large sized burrowing frogs with rounded heads, short bodies, bulging eyes, short limbs and the hands are free from webbing. The toes are relatively short with only a trace of fleshy webbing. A characteristic of this genus (except for Heleioporus eyrei and some Heleioporus psammophilus) is the black nuptial spines that male frogs have on their first and occasi
Natalus
The genus Natalus of funnel-eared bats is found from Mexico to Brazil and the Caribbean islands. They are slender bats with unusually long tails and, as their name suggests, funnel-shaped ears. They are small, at only 3.5 to 5.5 cm in length, with brown, grey, yellow, or reddish fur. Their tail is completely enclosed in the interfemoral membrane. Adult males have a natalid organ, a large glad-like organ, on the muzzle or face. Their skulls are delicate and extended. They have swollen, rounded braincase and narrow, somewhat tubular rostrum. They have nineteen teeth on both sides, with two
Agariciidae
The Agariciidae are a family of reef-building stony corals. This family includes cactus corals, plate corals, and lettuce corals. Members of the family include symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae in their tissues which help provide their energy requirements.
Pocilloporidae
The Pocilloporidae are a family of stony corals in the order Scleractinia occurring in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Macleay's Mustached Bat
species of mammal
Ctenosaura quinquecarinata
species of reptile
Farancia
Farancia is a genus of colubrid snakes. It consists of two species, one commonly referred to as the rainbow snake (F. erytrogramma) and the other commonly referred to as the mud snake (F. abacura). Both species are native to the southeastern United States.
Cuban slider
species of reptile
Dermatemydidae
The Dermatemydidae are a family of turtles. The family was named by John Edward Gray in 1870, and its only extant genus is Dermatemys.
Uperoleia
Uperoleia is a genus of frogs in the family Myobatrachidae. They are native to northern and eastern Australia and southern lowlands of New Guinea. These are small squat frogs, more commonly known as "toadlets". They have glandular skin, often with a pair of raised glands behind each eye, or on the flanks.
New Zealand mud snail
species of mollusc
Acanthochelys
Acanthochelys is a genus of turtles, the spiny swamp turtles, in the family Chelidae, subfamily Chelinae, found in South America. Until recently, the species of this genus were considered to be members of the genus Platemys, but were moved to the resurrected genus originally described by Gray (1873) based on the type species by monotypy Acanthochelys spixii.
Chamaeleo monachus
species of reptile
Pteropus loochoensis
species of mammal
Xenosaurus grandis
species of reptile
Corallus cookii
species of reptile
Chioninia

Alligatoroidea
Alligatoroidea is one of three superfamilies of crocodylians, the other two being Crocodyloidea and Gavialoidea. Alligatoroidea evolved in the Late Cretaceous period, and consists of the alligators and caimans, as well as extinct members more closely related to the alligators than the two other groups.
Hydrochoerinae
Hydrochoerinae (from Ancient Greek ὕδωρ (húdor), meaning "water", and χοίρος (khoíros), meaning "pig") is a subfamily of Caviidae, consisting of two living genera, Hydrochoerus, the capybaras, and Kerodon, the rock cavies. In addition, a number of extinct genera related to capybaras should also be placed in this subfamily. The taxonomy of Hydrochoerinae is confused because, until 2005, living capybaras and their extinct relatives were placed in their own family, Hydrochoeridae. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies recognize a close relationship between Hydrochoerus and Kerodon, supporting pla
Oculinidae
Oculinidae is a family of colonial corals.
