The distribution of animals around the world is listed by local. It shows what animals live where like an illustrated reference book. Not only living species, the fossil of extinct wildlife is classified by country discovered. Phylogenetic Tree for Wildlife is a web applications to display extant and extinct wildlife as a tree structure. World Atlas for World Heritage is a web applications to display world heritage on the map.

Ordovician animals - Animals in the Fossil sites, and Biodiversity

Classified animal picture guide. Highlighting the link of species shows the images, and clicking a link shows Evolutionary Tree.
The Ordovician 2st era in Paleozoic spanned from 488 to 443 millon years ago. The explanation in brackets is the ages they lived in extinct species. Note that Mya is million years ago. For example, "48.6～40.4 Mya" shows a range between 48.6 and 40.4 million years ago. The italic and bold figures, e.g. 488, show out of the range. The time range is shown in the Geological Time Table. The followings are a part of the Evolutionary Tree.
Ordovician, Early Ordovician, Middle Ordovician, Late Ordovician
The left map is the continents at Middle Ordovician provided by C. R. Scotese PALEOMAP Project. The earth environment compared with modern is that the temperature is +7～+2°C, and the O² density is -1～-6%.
Wildlife's class - Mammal, Reptile (Dinosaur), Amphibia, Bird, Fish, Arthropod (Insect), Molluscs, Cnidarian, Other Animals, Plant
Redlist Categories & Criteria - Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Others
The italic shows endemic species. * after the name shows subspecies. ~ after the name shows family or genus.
   shows maga species or largest of the family.    shows rare and interesting species.
   shows colorfull or beatiful species.    shows venomous species.
Great Dying①,②,③,④,⑤ is Ordovician–Silurian (450～440 Mya), Late Devonian (375～360 Mya), Permian–Triassic (260～253 Mya), Triassic–Jurassic (205 Mya), Cretaceous–Tertiary (65.5 Mya) extinction event. It means that the species survived the Great Dying (GDying).
