CRITTER CHART!

main menu


This page is dedicated entirely to the specific delineation of the species included on the Index of Famous Critters. It has been separated from the "Critter Information Center" because it consists of a complex set of nested tables that take a LOOOONG time to load, and i wanted to be able to warn people before they took it on.

Species Diagram

Below is a list of Species included on the "Critters" list.

Because i love to educate as well as entertain, i have formatted them in a scientific-type "family tree," a simple diagram of which can be found at left.

Note: Some species have been omitted from certain Families, Orders, and/or Classes (like "koalas" have been omitted from "marsupials"). This chart is not to be taken as a complete listing of all Classes, Orders, Families, or Species. Thank you.
