People often ask where to find stats for certain animals found the real world, so I thought I'd gather up a list. If you know of any others, please let me know.
Note that I did not include prehistoric animals, dinosaurs, or giant or dire versions of real-world animals (with the exception of those few giant animals that do exist, like the giant squid). I figured these would be better served by their own indices.
