For reference purposes, here is a list of the unconverted creatures that are probably "Animals". Note that a few of the birds and fish could also fit in the "animals from specific campaign settings" category.

Inside my hands these petals browned;
dried up falling to the ground,
but it was already too late now.
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
returned this flower to the dirt;
so it could live, I walked away now."

Curious. The stymphalian bird from ToH doesn't credit the earlier Dragon/Dungeon versions, as is the case with most other ToH conversions. I suspect Scott may have developed those from scratch, rather than converting the earlier ones. But I think they are close enough to be dropped from the list anyway
As for the super otter, its description says: "This long, serpentine creature is thought to be a form of primitive whale." So I figured that it was probably an Animal.

In the converting Prehistoric animals thread, we realized that the megatherium is actually in the 3e Fiend Folio, and the giant hippo probably doesn't differ enough from the dire hippo in Sandstorm to warrant conversion.

Also, Prehistoric Animals
Sea Turtle, Giant = Archelon, from Stormwrack
Who can I speak with about potentially putting together a pdf/publication utilizing some ENWorld-hosted and -created content? I would like to put together a campaign setting compilation using prehistoric animals and some related content, much of which is being formulated right here on these forums - and I want to be totally aware of the legal implications and try to establish some sort of working relationship with those in charge... Please?

The Creature Catalogue is Scott Greene's site. Although he no longer actively participates in the daily CC conversions, I believe he still checks the site's e-mail (creaturecatalog@gmail.com).
As far as I know, all our conversion work is up for grabs, but the flavor text is probably off-limits due to paraphrasing WotC's original material.

So if I send an email to that address, I am sending it directly to the creator of the site, Scott Greene? Or is this an email that might refer me to him?
Any recommendations on how best to address this email and/or what is going to incite the best consideration of my ideas to publish content created here? Anything I should explicitly avoid?

List of unconverted animals updated. Xidoraven, I didn't remove the Giant Sea Turtle from the list yet because I'm not sure that it is quite the same creature as the Archelon. That's mostly because both creatures have (separate) entries in the original Monster Manual.
On the other hand, I haven't been paying terribly much attention to the conversion threads over the last two months, so I might have missed a consensus that they are equivalent critters...

Really? That is surprising - they really are the same thing; I know of no other creature that fits the bill of a giant sea turtle as Archelon - however, I cannot argue with a previous publication including them both as separate critters.
