Okay, I copy/pasted the info from the Skunkworks Population Page
(but it's just the text). Hopefully, this will answer all your
inquisitive curiosities. Don't see a certain anthro critter? That's
because it doesn't exist in their world (as an anthro, anyway).
Prepare for a shitload of reading, man...
There are many different sentient species living on this world.
They vary in genetic make-up, size, stature, and origin. Listed

The following chart displays details and unique traits common to
the above-mentioned species. This is by no means all-inclusive, but
it will provide a means to distinguish the different species from one
another.
DRACONIA----This species is native to Australia, and has the
widest range of physical differences of all the sentient species.
They range from 3 feet to 50 feet in height. There are two classes;
one is referred to as "Terran" and the other as "Aerial". Terrans
have the widest range in height. Some may have long, serpentine
bodies with elongated necks, while others are short and very lizard-
like in appearance. All variations have long tails. Aerials are
generally between 5 feet and 10 feet in height, and they have
enormous, leathery wings on their backs which allow them to fly.
Aerials are more streamlined than Terrans, and often have long, thick
necks and tails.
The Draconia species come in an unlimited range of colors.
Their skin is thick and covered with hard scales. Some sport manes,
but most have ridges and/or spikes along the spinal column. Their
society is similar to "primitive native". They live mostly in
isolation, untouched by modern society. While capable of speech,
very few ever learn a language other than their native tongue (which
has yet to be explained and evaluated by science). They are
generally peaceful, and very in tune with their surroundings, perhaps
more than any other species on the planet. Diets are a 50/50 mix of
meats and fruits/vegetables.
REPTILIA MAJOR----The Reptilia Major species is most easily
recognized by the dense, hard scales which cover their bodies, as
well as their segmented undersides. This species ranges in height
from 4 and-a-half feet to 6 feet. All Reptilia Major species have
broad, powerful tails and webbing between their fingers and toes.
Colors range from blue-gray to dark green to dark brown. They have
slit pupils and long snouts full of sharp teeth. Diets are
approximately 75% meat, and 25% fruits, vegetables and grains.
REPTILIA MINOR----This species is much more refined in
appearance than Reptilia Major. Heights range from 4 feet to 5 and-a-
half feet. There are two distinct classes in this category: Lizards
and Chameleons. Lizards have smooth, shiny, pebble-textured skin.
Chameleons have smooth, hairless skin. Lizards are often either very
brightly colored, or very dark. Colors include blues, reds, greens,
yellows, purples, and black. Chameleons have the ability to change
their skin color based upon their moods or surroundings. Both
species are hairless, except for the top of the head. They do not
possess the webbing which their cousins in Reptilia Major do. Their
eyes have round pupils. Both species have thin, semi-prehensile
tails. Diets are roughly a 50/50 mix of meat and
fruits/vegetables/grains.
EQUIDAE----This species consists of Horses, Zebras, and
Donkeys. Horses come in a variety of sizes and statures, from the
refined Arabian to the bulky Draft breeds. They range in height from
5 and-a-half feet to 12 feet tall. Colors include grays, browns,
white, black and yellow. Some may have mottled or banded coats. The
fur is very short and coarse. All Horses have long tails and manes.
Horses have extremely strong leg, chest and neck muscles, and many
have jobs as laborers.
Zebras are black and white, and range in height from 6 feet to 8
feet tall. They do not vary as much as Horses do in shape or form;
their main differences lie in the patterns of the stripes on their
fur.
Donkeys are either brown or gray, and range in height from 5
feet to 6 and-a-half feet tall. Their fur is coarse, and their manes
are always black. Their tails only have hair on the tips. Diets for
this entire species consist of approximately 10% meat and 90% fruits,
vegetables and grains.
CERVIDAE----Far less common than the Equidae species, Cervidaes
include Caribou, Deer and Giraffes. Caribou and Deer may have
antlers, but the Giraffe only has short, rounded horns atop it's
head. Caribou range in height from 6 to 7 feet, Deer are between 5
feet and 7 feet, and Giraffes measure between 6 feet and 10 feet in
height. Caribou and Deer are usually brown in color, while Giraffes
are either tan, yellow, or slightly orange. Giraffes are easily
distinguished by their long necks and spotted coats. Diets are 10%
meat and 90% fruits, vegetables and grains.
CHIROPTERA----There are three primary classes of Chiroptera:
Vampire bats, Fruit bats, and Flying Foxes. Vampire bats range in
height from 4 feet to 6 feet, Fruit bats are between 4 feet and 5
feet, and Flying Foxes are between 5 and-a-half feet and 7 feet in
height.
Vampire bats are most easily recognized by their sharp, angular
features, large pointed ears, and long canine teeth. They have
short, dark fur in the following color ranges: browns, blacks, grays
and (less common) reds. They have enormous wingspans, over twice the
height of the body. The wings are attached to the body along the
back, starting at the spinal column. There are three additional
spars along the length of the arm; the shortest is located midway
between the shoulder and elbow, the longest is on the elbow, and the
last is located just before the wrist. These spars have limited
muscular movement, allowing full flight, but they often get in the
way of everyday activities.
All Chiroptera species have two sets of vocal chords. One set
(called the true, or primary, set) allows speech. The second set
(referred to as false or secondary) produces an incredibly high
audible pitch, which the Chiroptera use for echolocation. Bats have
hearing ranges which are far greater than that of other species,
often running as high as 120kHz! They also possess amazing strength
in the arms, back and torso. An "average" bat can be several times
stronger than a weightlifter of any other species!
Fruit bats have softer appearances than Vampire bats, with
shorter snouts, rounded ears and shorter canine teeth. They come in
numerous colors, including yellows, browns, grays, black, white and
tan. Some have spots or bands in their coats.
Flying Foxes are less common than the other bats. They are
usually larger in stature, with pronounced fox-like facial features.
Their wings are always black, and their tails, unlike the longer
tails of other bats, are often short and heavily furred. Fur colors
include red, brown and gray, as well as paler undersides. Like all
Chiroptera, Flying Foxes have round pupils.
The Chiroptera species has the widest amount of dietary
differences of any species. Fruit bats consume 80% fruits and
vegetables and 20% meats and grains, while Flying Foxes have a nearly
50/50 mix between all food categories. Vampire bats have a diet of
75% meat, and 25% fruits, vegetables and grains.
RODENTIA MAJOR----This species consists of both Squirrels and
Chipmunks. Both classes average between 4 and 5 feet in height, and
have soft fur coats which come in the following range of colors:
browns, black, grays, reds, white and blue. Squirrels have longer,
fuller tails than Chipmunks. Both species are adept at climbing and
gymnastics. Diets consist of 75% fruits, vegetables and grains and
25% meats.
RODENTIA MINOR----This sub-species only has one breed: Mice.
They range in height from 4 feet to 5 feet, and come in assorted
colors and patterns, including white, gray, brown, black, red,
yellow, blue, tan, spotted and striped! They have long, semi-
prehensile tails covered in fur, and large round ears. Mice have a
diet which is nearly a 50/50 mix of meats and fruits. vegetables and
grains.
EROTHIZONTIDAE----A species long thought to be part of the
Rodentia Major family, the Erothizontidae classification boasts only
one breed, that of the pointy-quilled Porcupine. Ranging in height
from 4 and-a-half feet to 5 and-a-half feet, the Porcupine comes in
browns, grays, tan and black. This species is easily recognized by
the long, pointed quills poking out of the fur along the back, tail,
and head/neck area. The quills, like those in the Porcupine's four-
legged ancestor, are removable and often used as a defense against
attacks. Diets are a 50/50 mix of meats and fruits/vegetables/grains.
CANIDAE MAJOR----This classifications encompasses most of the
canine family breeds. Classes include Wolves (recognized by their
coarser gray, brown, black or white fur and yellow eyes), Dalmatians
(short white coats with black spots), Collies (long-haired, often
brown, white, black or a combination of the three), Dobermans (short
black fur with tan or brown around the eyes, snout, hands, feet, or
underside), Rottweilers (a more muscular version of the Doberman,
with similar fur colors and a square-shaped head), Shepherds (medium-
length fur coat in either brown, gray or black; this breed also has
pointed ears), Labradors (a short-furred breed with either yellow,
brown or black fur) and what is commonly referred to as "Mixed
Breeds" (a combination of any of the aforementioned breeds). This
species ranges from 4 and-a-half feet to 5 and-a-half feet in
height. While there are far more breeds in the four-legged version
of this species, only a few seemed to actually evolve into the
sentient species which now comprises this class. Diets are
approximately 60% meats and 40% fruits/vegetables/grains.
CANIDAE MINOR----The Fox is the only species in this category.
They range from 4 feet to 5 and-a-half feet in height. Easily
recognized by their thick, bushy tails, large pointed ears, and slit
pupils, this breed comes in the following colors: reds, oranges,
yellows, tans, browns, black, white and gray. Most are two-toned,
with either black or white being the secondary color. Diets are
nearly 50/50 between meats and fruits/vegetables/grains.
URSIDAE MAJOR----This species consists of three distinct breeds:
Kodiak, Grizzly and Polar. These bears are easily recognized due to
their immense bulk and stature. Most range in height from 5 and-a-
half feet to 8 and-a-half feet tall. All are heavily muscled and
quite stocky.
The Kodiak has a square-shaped muzzle, and comes in black, brown
and tan. The Kodiak is the largest of the three breeds in this
species. The Grizzly has a "scooped-out" muzzle and a large ruffle
of fur on or above the shoulders. They come in black, brown, gray
and tan. The Polar has a wedge-shaped head, large hands and feet,
white or yellow fur and black skin. All three breeds are immensely
powerful. Diets consist of 75% meats and 25%
fruits/vegetables/grains.
URSIDAE MINOR----This sub-species includes the "lesser", or
smaller, bears. These include the Black bear, Brown bear, Sun bear,
and Panda bear. All these bears are between 4 feet and 5 and-a-half
feet in height. The Black bear and Brown bear only have one color
each (as their name implies). The Sun bear is often tan or brown,
with a "U" or "V" shaped pattern, in yellow fur, in the center of the
chest. The Panda bear is the most easily recognized by it's stark
black and white fur pattern. Diets are approximately 50% meats, and
50% fruits, vegetables and grains.
PROCYONIDAE----This species features the Raccoon, Ringtail and
Lemur. While their four-legged ancestors may not necessarily be in
the same category, the Procyonidae classes bear a lot of similarities
to one another.
Raccoons are between 4 and 5 feet in height, and come in browns,
grays, tan, or a mixture of the three. They have thick, bushy tails
with black bands encircling them, and are easily recognized by
the "mask" of black fur which surrounds their eyes.
Ringtails are between 4 and-a-half feet and 5 and-a-half feet
tall, and are either tan, white, yellow, brown, or a combination of
the above. Their tails are longer than a Raccoon's, with more
stripes. Their ears are also larger, and they lack the "mask" which
Raccoons have.
Lemurs would appear to be the result of a Raccoon mating with a
Ringtail. They range in height from 4 feet to 5 feet tall, and have
long, bushy tails with dark or light bands. The faces often have a
dark "mask" of fur around the eyes, cheeks and snout. They come in
reds, browns, tan, grays, white and black.
Diets for all three classes are approximately 40% meats, and 60%
fruits, vegetables and grains.
MUSTELIDAE----Perhaps the largest species category, the classes
include Skunks, Ferrets, Weasels, Otters, Minks, Wolverines and
Badgers. Interestingly enough, all these classes fall within the
height range of 4 feet to 5 and-a-half feet tall.
Skunks are the most common of the species. They come is highly
contrasting colors, including black, grays, blues, reds, tan, browns
and white. Patterns include stripes and/or spots. Skunks possess
the ability to spray any attacker or threat with a noxious chemical
secreted from scent glands within the anus. Obviously, such tactics
are rarely called for, and are often met with severe legal action
unless proven to be used for self-defense. Skunks have large, bushy
tails, and it is commonly believed they may share a distant ancestor
with the various Felidae Minor species. Diets are a 50/50 mix of
meats and fruits/vegetables/grains.
Weasels and Ferrets differ by their fur patterns, colors, and
length of body (Ferrets have somewhat longer bodies and are extremely
flexible). Both have long, fur-covered tails. Weasels are often
gray or brown. Ferrets are white, black, brown, red, or gray.
Ferrets also have small "masks" of darker fur around their eyes, much
like a Raccoon. Diets for these two are similar to a skunk's diet.
Otters are the only class in this species made to travel in
water just as quickly as on land (although Minks do a fairly decent
job as well). Otters come in the following colors: grays, silver,
browns, black, and tan. They have an oily coating on their fur which
sheds water and allows them to swim with ease. They have long
whiskers, long, thick tails, webbed hands and feet, and the ability
to seal their nostrils against the water. Otters are able to remain
underwater for several minutes at a time. Their diet is similar to
that of a skunk.
Minks are smaller than Otters, and are usually white, gray,
black, or yellow. Similar in shape to Weasels, they have a slightly
shorter snout and do not have any color banding (as many Weasels
often do). Diets are 75% meats, and 25% fruits, vegetables and
grains.
Wolverines are often short, stocky, and quite muscular. They
come in gray, brown, black, red and tan, and feature different
colored patches around the eyes, atop the head, and along the
shoulder blades and back. They have medium-length tails and long,
powerful claws. This species is not to be messed with. Diets are
75% meats and 25% fruits/vegetables/grains.
Badgers are stocky creatures like Wolverines, but they often
have a bit more body fat, as well as a longer, wedge-shaped head.
Colors include white, browns, grays, black, and tan. They are easily
distinguished by the long black stripes which run from the sides of
the nose , surrounding the eyes, and tapering off behind the head
near the shoulders. Many Badgers also have darker patches of fur on
their backs as well. Diets are approximately 60% meats and 40%
fruits, vegetables and grains.
FELIDAE MAJOR----This category of the Feline breed includes
Lions, Tigers, Panthers, Cougars, Cheetahs, Bobcats, Lynxes, Ocelots,
Margays and Jaguars. While the musculatures between the breeds may
vary, they are all between 5 and 6 and-a-half feet in height.
Lions are tan or yellow in color, and are generally the most
muscular of the larger Feline breeds. Males have large, thick manes
of fur atop their heads. Like all the large Felines, they have round
pupils. Tigers are usually orange, tan or gray, with black stripes
and white undersides. Panthers and Cougars are similar in build; the
only exception is the fur color. Panthers are dark brown with black
spots (often hard to see), while Cougars are tan or yellow. Cheetahs
are tan, brown or yellow, have thin, muscular frames, and are the
only Feline breed without retractable claws. Like their four-legged
ancestors, they are extremely fast runners.
Bobcats have very short tails, are usually brown, tan, yellow or
white in color, and have features similar to the Feline Minor
species. Lynxes are somewhat similar to Bobcats, although they have
thicker fur, larger hands and feet, longer tails, long tufts of fur
on the tips of their ears, and come in the same colors as the Bobcat,
including gray and black.
Ocelots are slender Felines with almost "dainty" features (when
compared to other large breeds). They come in various shades of
brown, including tan, orange and yellow. Margays are smaller-framed
Felines with black facial markings, and generally come in tan,
yellow, brown, orange or gray. Jaguars are similar to Panthers and
Cougars, though a little sleeker in appearance, and only come in
black. All Felidae Major species have a diet consisting of 75% meats
and 25% fruits, vegetables and grains.
FELIDAE MINOR----This species accounts for the largest
percentage of the world population. While varying in bulk and fur
length, all the breeds in this species are between 4 feet and 5 and-a-
half feet tall. All the breeds in this category have slit pupils.
Tabby is the name often given to Felines with short to medium
length fur. Colors and patterns are the widest in this species. Fur
may be spotted, striped, banded, tipped or mottled. Colors include
browns, grays, white, black, blues, reds, orange, yellow, tan and
silver. Siamese are Felines with short or medium length fur, and are
often tan, brown, orange or blue. They have black forearms, hands,
calves, feet and tails, as well as a black "mask" surrounding their
eyes, cheeks, snout and ears. Orientals are similar in build to
Siamese, but they are only short-furred, and come in black, white,
gray, blue, and tan.
Persians are usually white, gray, black or tan, and feature
smaller ears than other Felines, as well as a unique mane of fur
which covers the neck, shoulders and part of the back. Their tails
are bushy, and most Persians are long-furred. Angoras are white
only, and have black skin around the eyes and mouth. They are
similar to the Persian in build, but lack the mane of fur on the
shoulders. The Mau breed is a short-furred feline, similar in build
to the Oriental, but with larger ears and sharper features. Colors
include gray, black and tan. Longhair breeds are similar to Tabbies,
but they have longer fur, and are available in the same colors. All
Feline Minor species have retractable claws. Diets are a 50/50 mix
of meats and fruits, vegetables and grains.
MARSUPIALIA----This species includes Kangaroos, Koalas and
Opossums. Unlike their ancestors, none of these breeds have
pouches. The Kangaroo is most easily recognized by it's powerful
legs and long tail. Kangaroos do not actually "stand up", as their
legs are designed for jumping. Walking at a slow pace is often
difficult for Kangaroos. Colors include brown, reds, and gray. They
average between 5 feet and 6 feet in height.
Koalas are short, bear-like creatures which average between 4
feet and 4 and-a-half feet in height. They have broad noses, round,
fur-covered ears and short tails, and come in gray, brown and black.
Opossums were once thought to be part of the Rodentia family,
but their child-rearing habits and prehensile tails changed that.
Opossums have long snouts, short, rounded ears and long, hairless
prehensile tails. They average between 4 feet and 5 feet in height,
and come in gray, white, black and brown.
The Marsupialia species never produces more than two offspring
at a time, and they are easily recognized by their habit of carrying
their children around on their chests or backs, depending upon the
parent's rate of travel. When the child is old enough to walk on
it's own, the parent ceases carrying it around. Of the three classes
in this species, Opossums are most common, and Koalas are most rare.
The diets of the breeds in this species are similar, with a 40%
meat and 60% fruit, vegetable and grain preference.
LEPORIDAE----This species only features one breed: Rabbits.
This species has long ears (either up or down), powerful legs and
short tails. They average between 4 feet and 5 feet in height, and
come in a variety of colors, including browns, black, white, gray,
blues, reds and tan. There are also some which have spotted or
striped fur patterns. Their diet consists of 75% grains, vegetables
and fruits and 25% meats.
AVARIDAE MAJOR----The last of three sentient species capable of
flight (Chiroptera and Draconia are the other two), this category
includes Eagles, Hawks, Cockatoos, Amazons and Owls. Avaridae
species are easily recognized by their broad, flat tails, large
wings, and beaks.
Eagles are the largest of the species, averaging between 5 feet
and 6 feet in height. They come in either brown or gray, with white
heads. Avaridae species are covered in feathers of differing
densities, not fur. Eagles, like all Avaridae species, have three
toes at the front of the foot, and one toe at the back.
Hawks are similar in appearance to Eagles, but slightly
smaller. They are often brown, gray or black, with black facial
markings. Cockatoos and Amazons are the rarest of the Avaridae
species. Cockatoos are usually white, yellow, gray or tan, and have
large, powerful beaks and brightly-colored plumage atop their heads.
Amazons are brightly colored, including red, yellow, blue, green and
purple, and most have brightly-colored (and often contrasting) spots,
stripes or bands along the shoulders, chest, back and head. They
have large beaks like the Cockatoo. Amazons and Cockatoos average
between 4 and-a-half feet and 5 and-a-half feet in height.
Owls are the most unusual looking of the large Avaridae
species. They are powerful, stocky birds, with large yellow or
silver eyes and sharp beaks. The plumage on their heads makes it
appear as if they have no neck! Colors include grays, browns, black
and white.
Eagles, Hawks and Owls have a diet of 60% meats and 40% fruits,
vegetables and grains, while Cockatoos and Amazons have a diet of
100% fruits, vegetables and grains. They are not known to eat meat.
AVARIDAE MINOR----This species includes Cardinals, Bluejays and
Cockatiels. All three breeds average between 4 and 5 feet in height,
and have diets which contain no meat. Cardinals are either bright
red or rusty-brown in color, and have black facial markings.
Bluejays are either blue or gray in color. Cockatiels can be gray,
brown, white or yellow, and feature crests and bright plumage on
their cheeks. All three breeds are capable of flight.
AQUATIDAE----This species features two unique and distinct
breeds: Sharks and Dolphins. Both breeds are mammals and must
breathe air, but are able to stay submerged under water for long
periods of time before needing to resurface. Despite the rivalry
between their ancestors, Sharks and Dolphins actually get along quite
well with one another.
Dolphins are usually blue or gray in color, and measure around 5
to 6 feet in height. They have extremely powerful tails and dorsal
fins, and are able to reach high speeds while in the water. Sharks
are darker in color than Dolphins, and are either blue, black, gray
or brown. They average 6 feet in height. They have sharp features
(as well as sharp teeth!) and easily recognized dorsal fins. Like
the Dolphin breed, they are also fast and agile swimmers.
Because they require a watery environment, most Dolphins and
Sharks work and live near bodies of water. Most are in jobs which
require water travel or exposure, such as the Coast Guard, Navy,
scuba/diving teams, lifeguards, etcetera. They are not able to
survive for long periods outside of water, since their skin requires
it to remain healthy.
Both Dolphins and Sharks have a diet which consists of 75% meat
and 25% vegetable. They do not eat fruits or grains. Both species
are able to survive in fresh and saltwater environments.
