These are animals I wish were real and are still alive.

Monotremes

 * American Platypus - A North American relative of a similar Australian platypus. It lives in almost all parts of North America.
 * Asian Platypus - An Asian relative of a similar Australian platypus. It lives in almost all parts of Asia.
 * European Platypus - A European relative of a similar Australian platypus. It lives in almost all parts of Europe.
 * African Platypus - An African relative of a similar Australian platypus. It lives in almost all parts of Africa.
 * Platysaurus - This is the most Hadrosaur-like of all mammals. It is a large herbivore, about 30 feet long and weighing about a ton. It feeds on leaves, fruit, ferns, horsetails, and shrubs. It is indigenous to Asian areas, including India, Thailand, China, and Mongolia. It resembles a long-extinct hadrosaur, but with mammal fur and it has a rubbery bill like its relatives, platypuses.
 * Deinoplatysaur - While platysaurus is a herbivore, this animal is a carnivore. It resembles a long-extinct theropod, but with mammal fur and tiger-like teeth. It is the largest carnivorous mammal alive today, bigger than the long-extinct Andrewsarchus, about 35 feet long and weighing about 1-5 tons. It is indigenous to Asian areas including China, Mongolia, Thailand, and India. Its favorite prey items are elephants, platysauruses, rhinoceroses, large deer, and carrion, while young deinoplatysaurs feeds on insects, small fish, small frogs, small salamanders/newts, small birds, and smaller mammals.

Marsupials

 * Dwarf Possum - Relatives of Virginia Opossum that resembles the long-extinct alphadon, indigenous to California, Nevada, and other parts of the Western U.S.
 * Marsupial Hopping Mouse - A small marsupial that is similar to an Australian hopping mouse, but has a pouch and lives in USA areas, including California.
 * American Wallaby - Despite its name, it is not an Australian wallaby, but a similar marsupial with a similar niche. It lives in the western parts of the U.S. and is actually more closely related to the Virginia opossum.
 * Jack's Giant Wombat - This animal evolved from a prehistoric Diprotodon that survived and remained unchanged. It inhabits woodlands of Eastern, Southeastern, Southern, Central, Southwestern, and Western Australia. It is a herbivore, feeding on nothing but leaves, berries, and shrubs. It is the largest marsupial on earth, about the size of a small car.
 * Marsupial Hippo - Also known a Bunyip, it inhabits swamplands of Northeastern, Eastern, Southeastern, Central, and Southern Australia. Despite its myths, real bunyips are actually herbivores, feeding on grass, leaves, shrubs, roots, tuber, and berries. A reason why people fear bunyip is because these herbivores are aggressive much like African hippopotamuses, which share a similar kind of niche and aggression. Just like hippos, bunyips can swim very well and it resembles a hippo, but with waterproof fur, a pouch, and a more Diprotodon-like head. It is about the size of a sub-adult hippopotamus.

It is about 4.2 feet tall and 6.5 feet long, weighing about 700 pounds.
 * Pignosed Giant Wombat - This animal evolved from a prehistoric Nototherium that survived and remained mostly unchanged. It is a herbivore that feeds on grass, leaves, shrubs, ferns, horsetails, and fruit. It lives in Eastern, Southeastern, Southern, Southwestern, Western, Northwestern, Northern, Northeastern, and Central Australia. It is about 3.2 feet tall and 5.9 feet long, weighing about 530 pounds.
 * Marsupial Otter - Also known as the Water Demon, it is the most aggressive small marsupial of Australia, slightly more aggressive and more dangerous than Tasmanian devils. It is similar to the American river otter, but with a pouch, Tasmanian devil-like head with small ears, and a more carnivorous diet. It is a close relative of quolls and Tasmanian devils. It feeds on insects, eggs, fish, small nonpoisonous frogs, small reptiles, carrion, and small mammals. It lives in swamplands of Eastern, Southeastern, Central, Southern, and Southwestern Australia. It is about the size of a dachshund dog.

This tapir species is also the most adaptable of all tapirs, living from Californian deserts, to grasslands of Colorado, to swamps of Florida (with some surviving in human villages, urban, suburbs, cities, and towns in North America) and it is the only species of tapir that is not endangered (This tapir species status is: Lower Risk).
 * European Tapir - Most tapirs live outside Europe, but this species is the only tapir indigenous to Europe. It is the smallest of modern tapir species, about the size of a potbellied pig. Just like North American tapirs, European tapirs are not endangered (This tapir species status: Lower Risk) and it can survive in urban, suburbs, cities, and towns as much as their natural habitats including forests and swamps of Europe.
 * African Tapir - This is the only African species of tapir alive today. It is similar in size to a Brazilian tapir. It can survived survive in cities, towns, urban, and suburbs as much as in savannahs, swamps, and rainforests. Just like North American tapirs and European tapirs, this tapir species is not endangered (This tapir species status: Lower Risk).
 * Florida Grizzly Bear - This is the smallest species of grizzly bear of North America. It resembles a cross between a now-extinct Mexican brown bear and a long-extinct short-faced bear. It is endangered because of its recourse, giant salmon, are being over hunted by illegal fisherman. But it also feeds on small deer, young alligators, black bears, wild boar, and smaller fish.
 * American Rhinoceros - This animal evolved from a prehistoric woolly rhinoceros that migrated to North America. It is similar to its ancestors in niche, appearance, size, and its diet.  It lives in the grasslands of Alaska and Northern Canada. Unlike most other rhinoceros species, this species of rhinoceros is not endangered.
 * Giant Sauropod-Like Anteater - This is one of the most dinosaur-like of all mammals. It resembles the long-extinct sauropod dinosaur, but with mammal fur and teeth. It actually evolved from a prehistoric anteater species. It has a snout unlike other anteater species (being more giraffe-like), so it not just feeds on ants and termites, it feeds on leaves and fruit as well. It lives in forests of western parts of U.S. It is the largest land mammal alive today, about 1,500 pounds bigger than an elephant. Unlike all other anteater species, this is a social animal, living in herds up to about 95 members in a single group.

It resembles the South American capybara, but is more specialized to life on land as equally as in water. It lives in western parts of U.S., including California, and in eastern parts of U.S., including Florida.
 * American Giant Panda - This animal species evolved from the same ancestors as Asian giant pandas. It is similar to an Asian giant panda, but is slightly darker in color and its diet is not restricted to bamboo, it also feeds on grass, leaves, and berries. It lives in Western USA areas, including California, and Eastern USA areas, including Florida.

Its ancestors migrated from Aisa to North America to find suitable habitats in order to survive and flourish. It is similar to its ancestors and it has a similar niche to an African hippopotamus, but unlike hippopotamus, it is not aggressive, but a gentle and peaceful herbivore. It feeds on grass, shrubs, leaves, and berries. It lives in southeastern U.S. areas, including Florida.
 * False Bear - This animal is not a bear at all, but a species of modern day pantodont descended from a prehistoric Titanoides (a large, bear-like herbivorous mammal) that survived and remained unchanged. It is a peaceful and gentle animal, unlike true bears, about as peaceful as the aquatic manatee, feeding on nothing but leaves, shrubs, and berries. It lives in Western USA areas, including California.
 * Californian River Dolphin - This species of river dolphin is the only known indigenous North American river dolphin, found in rivers and lakes of California, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon. It resembles a hybrid between an Amazon river dolphin and the Indian river dolphin. It feeds on trout, salmon, perch, introduced Asian carp, bass species, and other indigenous fish species. It is about as smart as a bottlenose dolphin, as it evolved from a same ancestor.
 * Brush-Tailed Wesera - This animal evolved from a prehistoric Stylinodon (a large, pig/leopard sized herbivore part of a taeniodont family) that survived and remained mostly nchanged. It feeds on roots, tuber, and bulbs indigenous to its area. It lives in deserts and scrublands of California, Nevada, Arizona,  New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico.

It lives in savannahs, scrublands, and deserts of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Colorado, and Mexico.

Birds

 * North American Ostrich - Despite its name, it is actually a large species of rhea that can survive in areas such as the deserts of California and grasslands of Colorado. It is the largest species of rhea, about the size of the sub-adult African ostrich. It is the only species of rhea native to North America.
 * Tyrant Pelican - It is the only species of pelican that can survive inland much like seagulls. This pelican species have two things that other pelican species don't have, ability to eat food other than fish and the ability to live in areas where inland seagulls live in. It resembles a brown pelican, but with a slightly larger head and body and is it bigger, about 98 pounds bigger than other species of pelican.
 * Darwin's Protobird - This is one of the most primitive birds of modern times. It evolved from the prehistoric Alexornis that survived extinction and remained unchanged. Its favorite food are small flying insects. It lives everywhere in the USA from California to Florida. It has no fear of humans.
 * Raptor Protobird - This is one of the most primitive birds of modern times. It evolved from the prehistoric Avisaurus that survived extinction and remained unchanged. It feeds on small mammals, small reptiles, frogs, fish, and insects. It lives in the western USA areas, including California. It has no fear of humans.
 * Common Protobird - This is one of the most primitive of birds in modern times. It evolved from a prehistoric Longipteryx that survived extinction and remained unchanged. It lives in Asia, where it fed on fish and insects, but where introduced to North America by humans. It has no fear of humans.
 * Least Protobird - This is one of the most primitive of birds in modern times. It evolved from a prehistoric Gobipteryx that survived extinction and remained unchanged. It lives in Asia where it hunts different species of small insects. It has no fear of humans.
 * Rarity Protobird - This is one of the most primitive of birds in modern times. It evolved from the prehistoric Sinornis that survived extinction and remained unchanged. It lives in Africa, where it feeds on small insects, but was introduced to North America by humans. It is named because in 1920's, this bird was rare and was on the verge of extinction due to overhunting by humans for its feathers, but since it was saved from extinction, its population recovered and is no longer endangered. Ever since its population recovered, it is no longer scared of humans.
 * Clown Protobird - This is one of the most primitive of birds in modern times. It evolved from Liaoxiornis that survived extinction and remained unchanged. It lives in China, where it feeds on small flying insects, but this species was introduced to North America by humans. Just like all other protobirds, it has no fear of humans. It is named because of its feather coloration, which depends on different birds of a same species, males can be Yellow-Orange-Red, Orange-Red-Pink, Red-Pink-Purple, Pink-Purple-Blue, Purple-Blue-Green, Blue-Green-Yellow, and Green-Yellow-Orange, while females on the other hand are always brown or gray.
 * Demon Duck - This species of bird evolved from a prehistoric Genyornis that survived and remained mostly unchanged since the Pleistocene. It is named because it can sometimes get aggressive to humans and other animals in its area if it has high amount of testosterogetin its body. Unlike its ancestors, It is usually a herbivore that feeds mostly on fruit, nuts, leaves, and shrubs, but also feeds on insects, fish, and carrion to supplement its diet. It is indigenous to Australian outbacks. It is the world's largest species of modern day bird, about 420 pounds, almost 200 pounds bigger than an African ostrich, but the extinct moa was much bigger than a modern Genyornis or demon duck.
 * Jack's Giant Parrot - Despite its name, it is not a parrot. It is actually a modern descendant of Gastornis that survived to modern times and remained unchanged. It is a herbivore, like its ancestors, feeding on large fruit and nuts. It is indigenous to North American areas, including forests ranging from California to Colorado, and swamps ranging from Mississippi to Florida.
 * Fish Turkey - Despite its name, it is not a fish nor turkey, but a descendant of ichthyornis that survived extinction of most non-avian dinosaurs (other than troodons) and became terrestrial and larger, Gastornis-like birds with a crocodile snout-like beak full of sharp teeth for catching fish (including ones washed up on shores). It lives in western U.S. areas, including California. It is about two times bigger than an Australian emu, making it the fouth largest modern bird, only after Jack's Giant Parrot, North American Rhea, an African Ostrich, and a Demon Duck.

Reptiles

 * Californian Crocodile - This is one of the only indigenous Western USA crocodilians, along with Western alligators. It resembles a Nile crocodile, but is browner in color and is about the size of a sub-adult saltwater crocodile.
 * California Iguana - These lizards spend more time in grasslands, forests, and deserts than any other iguana species. It resembles a marine iguana, but is not specialized in ocean, prefers feeding on insects, fruits, and leaves, rather than marine algae, and are brownish-green in color.
 * Western Wounder - It is one of the last dinosaur species, evolving from Troodon that remained unchanged. Its favorite food it likes to hunt are wild boars, bison, deer, northern llamas, tapirs, American ostriches, and occasionally feral dogs and cats, but also likes to eat small mammals, reptiles, frogs, fish, insects, berries, and leaves. It lives in Western USA areas, including California.
 * Eastern Wounder - This species is also one of the last dinosaur species, and it also evolved from Troodon that remained unchanged since the Cretaceous. It feeds on similar food to its western relative. It lives in eastern parts of USA, including Florida.
 * Dwarf Wounder - It is one of the last dinosaur species, evolving from Troodon that remained unchanged, other than it shrank to about the size of a chicken. It feeds on small mammals, small birds, small reptiles, frogs, fish, and insects. It lives in grasslands and woodlands of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Kansas, but were introduced to Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and California.
 * Marine Sealsnake - Plesiosaurs, such as Elasmosaurus, are the only marine reptiles, other than sea turtles, to survive the K-T extinction event. Marine sealsnakes are descended from a group of Elasmosaurids that survived and remained mostly unchanged. There are about 248 known species of marine sealsnakes around the world's oceans, living alongside whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, manatees, modern-styled sea turtles, modern sharks, and other marine life. Many marine sealsnake species feed on fish, squid, and crustaceans.
 * River Sealsnake - River sealsnakes evolved from a same ancestors as marine sealsnakes, Elasmosaurids. Unlike marine sealsnakes however, many species of river sealsnakes are adapted to rivers and lakes in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, and are responsible for sightings of cryptids such as loch ness monsters, ogopogos, etc. River sealsnake species can feed on fish, crustaceans, small amphibians, smaller reptiles, birds, and small mammals (including pets). They are similar to their ancestors, other than their brownish coloration and their ability to tolerate freshwater.
 * Runner Lizard - This is a species of descendant of a prehistoric lizard of 55 million years ago that evolved to run on its hind limbs and first started out as eupakeria-like animals, but later became theropod-like. It resembles a long-extinct dinosaur, Eoraptor, but without feathers. It feeds on eggs, insects, fish, small lizards, small birds, carrion, and small mammals. It is a small reptile, with different species ranging from about 1 feet long and 10 pounds to about 3 feet long and 30 pounds. Their are about 4,250 species in this group of reptiles and all of them are indigenous only to Asia, but about 16 species were introduced to North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Australia by humans and all 16 species adapted to their new environment and thrived. Many species of runner lizards can survive in cities, towns, urban, and suburbs.

Amphibians

 * Northern Goliath Frog - It is the largest North American frog ever discovered. It lives in southeastern U.S. areas, including Florida. It resembles its South American cousin, Southern Goliath Frog, but is cold-tolerant and is slightly browner in color.
 * American Giant Salamander - This is the largest amphibians in the world, bigger than the Japanese giant salamander and the Chinese giant salamander. It resembles a cross between a Japanese giant salamander and a long-extinct koolasuchus, but is darker in color and is bigger, between 7 and 10 feet long. They live in southern USA areas, including Florida. It is known to hunt young Florida alligators, but more often, it feeds on small fish, smaller amphibians, small reptiles, and small mammals (including rats, mice, etc., and sometimes pets).
 * Jack's Giant Newt - This is the world's largest species of newt, about the size of a sub-adult Japanese giant salamander. It resembles a terrestrial juvenile Eastern newt, but has a slightly builkier body and a slightly larger head. Unlike all other amphibians, this amphibian species now has that ability to lay hard-shelled eggs much like reptiles and birds, allowing this amphibian species to survive on land without ever going back to the water, not even to keep its skin moist, because its skin is no longer thin for an amphibian. Its favorite food are insects, fish, smaller amphibians, small reptiles, and small mammals. It is indigenous to Western USA areas, including California. Unlike other amphibian species, it does not have a tadpole stage, since it no longer lives in water.
 * Knob-Skinned Western Newt - There are about 3,950 known species of newts in this family, all of which are indigenous to California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, and Texas. Unlike most other newt species, knob-skinned western newts never return to the water to become fully aquatic adults, so knob-skinned western newts remain on land for the rest of their lives after the complete metamorphosis from tadpole to newt. Many species of newts in this family feeds on insects, non-dangerous spiders, snails, slugs, centipedes, millipedes, and pillbugs.

Fish

 * Giant Salmon - It is the world's largest species of salmon, but it is the most endangered, with only 150 of them left in the wild and 500 of them in captivity. It is an important food source for Florida grizzly bears.
 * Asian River Shark - This species of shark is even more freshwater-tolerant than bull sharks. It lives in rivers of China, Mongolia, Thailand, India, Burma, and Cambodia. It feeds on smaller fish, crustaceans, small amphibians, small lizards, and small mammals (including pets). It resembles a hybrid between a bull shark and a blue shark, but is browner in color.
 * American River Shark - This shark species is even more freshwater-tolerant than bull sharks, just like its cousin, the Asian river shark. It lives in almost all rivers of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Oregon, Kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina.. It feeds on smaller fish, crustaceans, drowned insects, small amphibians, small lizards, and small mammals (including pets). It resembles a hybrid between a bull shark and a mako shark, but is browner in color.

Invertebrates

 * Giant Ground Crab - This is the largest terrestrial crab in the world, about two times bigger than the coconut crab, and is fully terrestrial, unlike most other crabs. It feeds on grass, seeds, insects, small reptiles, and small mammals. It is indigenous to Western USA areas, including California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, and Idaho. It lays its eggs underground where most predators won't eat their nutritious eggs, but since humans introduced domestic dogs to its area, this crab species is near threatened because dogs are known to dig out its eggs, leaving its eggs vulnerable to other predators (including other feral dogs).
