To research more animals and facts, here is a helpful site: http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/facts/
It is part of the National Geographic site and categorizes organisms by amphibian, bugs, birds, fish, invertebrates, mammals, prehistoric, and reptiles. The site includes examples from each category with mammals having the most options to choose from. The prehistoric category isn't very relevant for looking up work Planet Earth focuses on or the animals of today, but dinosaurs are still very fascinating.
