As you may already know, I’ve reviewed a lot of books with animals in them, and I’ve written stories with animals in them, though I haven’t thought much on how to incorporate wildlife into worldbuilding.
R.M. Archer wrote a blog post that offers tips on how to create animals for your fantastical world. And she introduces a strange animal: the saiga antelope. Look it up; it’s a real animal, and let’s just say it looks quite different. 🙂
