a predatory whale (11 ft long). they live and hunt in the ocean's sunlight zone, eating fish, seabirds, cephalopods, small sharks, and often hunt as a pack to catch larger or quicker prey like dolphins or seals. because of competition with orcas, they live along the east coast of Orus Hycea rather than the south

a domestic thylacine species - they have many breeds, this one is a standard livestock guardian

blue gum frogmouths live in blue gum forests, and a speckled brown coat wouldn't blend in very well to such unique trees

a small cassowary, around 70 cm tall, with wings only capable of gliding rather than flying. they forage rainforests for fruit and insects, both on the forest floor and along tree branches which their hooked claws allow them to climb. they mostly glide to save energy while traveling, but it also helps in evading predators

much bigger than whip spiders (now around 6-8 inches) with a diet more focused on birds and small reptiles, their abdomen mimics the appearance of a worm for most part of the year, until April to August when it inflates and becomes bright green like a caterpillar. with both morphs, they sit still in webs of strong silk low to the ground and slowly wiggle their abdomen until a bird tries to eat it, getting trapped in the web in the process. if a bird is successful in eating the spider and escaping the web, it will be poisoned anyways - this species is both venomous and poisonous.
