Tirelat has a whole bunch of animal words, mainly birds and mammals. Some of them are very specific like "rej" (bushy-tailed cloudrunner) and "kop" (pileated woodpecker), while others are more generic: "znal" (insect), "ryul" (worm). Although many of these words were originally from Jarrda, I've reassigned them to Tirelat, since Jarrda has become an alien = language and no longer needs many words relating to plants and animals of Earth.
