A vast majority of Kannavahmen's non humaniod inhabitants are much the same as those you would kind in contemporary earth - though often much larger or more aggressive. Because of the Redistribution, animals from all over contemporary earth are found scattered throughout the world, with only the habit of the area effecting their distribution. Most of the time.
There are also a high rate of genetic mutation occurring, creating random and unpredictable changes in what would be considered 'normal' animals and plants. Some of these are one off occurrences, while others have created completely different sub species or species of life.
Sailors tell rumours of beats living within the ocean - some possessing the bodies of men, while others appearing to be hundred foot long serpents.
On land, those who spend time in the less populated areas of Kannavahmen have given reports of giant four legged creatures that dwell underground, digging tunels with their for legs, and carrying their young in a under belly pouch (see this).

The Flora(plants)
Kannavahmen is a harsh world. It's plant life has adapted to suit this. You are welcome to create plant species within the world of Kannavahmen, but please keep it sensible and within the general concept of the shop. Also, no fan-plants (plants from other shops, or media).
Overall:
The plant life is much the same as you would find in Contemporary earth, but with many species growing larger and adapting to the change in predators. There are more poisonous plant species, as well as more carrying defence mechanisms. These range from simply have harder out layers, sharp thorns, to the ability to defend them selves by projecting harmful chemicals or developing a taste for the flesh of larger beasts.
Notable Plants
The Man Eating Daisies
These are not necessarily daisies, but often resemble a apparently harmless flowers, often with what appear to be iridescent insects hovering above during the evening and night hours.
Once the pray (usually larger warm blooded creatures) walks into the centre of the field, the flowers seem to rise and separate, revealing the large, thorn lined mouth of the Man Eater. The pray is usually entangled into the viney ground cover of the daisies, and gradually pulled down into the mouth, where it is slowly digested by the mid stretch acids the plant secretes.
This plant is scattered throughout Kannavahmen, and known specimens are usually surrounded by large warning signs. They have become a hazard for solders and explorers alike.

The Fauna (animalss)
Overall:
Much like the flora of Kannavahmen, the fauna is often big, bad and most likely wanting to eat you.
May of the animals that inhabit RL earth still exist in Kannavahmen, but there have also been mutations and, somehow, the revival of several extinct species (no, not the dinosaur).
Notable Animals
Revived previously extinct Megafauna
Depending on your area of beliefe, the re-emergence of several species of Real World extinct mega fauna has been caused by either: A) Zazzar going insane and breathing life into the ancient creations that have been long dead or, B) a strange backward evolution occurring within select groups of animals.
Please note that this does not include dinosause (as in T-rex, Diplodocus, Edmontonia or Eoraptor). What I'm talking about are things like:
On Land
Terror Birds
Giant Sloths
American Lion
Extinct Australian Mega Fauna
Giant Beavers
Bone Crushing Dog
Charli the weird walking critter
Thylacine, the tiger-dog-fox-thing (suggested by the wonderful windy - b e l l s_)
In Water
(as with RL, many of the creatures living in the waters of Kannavahmen are older then those on land. This is my excuse for having big mofo's in the ocean anyway).
Giant Sea Scorpions
Boney Fish
Carnivorus Marine Retiles
Fresh Water Sharks
Giant Sharks (yes, we can has megalodon)
Many of the sea beasties would be mistaken for sea serpents and other such mythical critters (this is not to say we don't have Sea serpents and other such monsters in Kannavahmen).
