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.
