Animals of Oddworld (V2)
 
Well, I thought since it's been almost a year since the last one, that it would be OK to make a new thread like this, especially with all the new people that signed on since and would like to share their opinions. The point was to make a list of Oddworld animals that best compare to their Earth counterparts and argue your thoughts over about the differences between the animals with other people like in the first thread. A sense of Humor is reccomended.

The mods can close this if it's their desire.

Searex: Basilosaurus or similar.
Fleech: Frog-snake...there isn't really anything 100% comparable to this thing.

Well, yes, but in a way we know them as creatures from the stories and claims about greys on Earth. They do slightly look like vykkers. Everypne's entitled to their point or opinion.
