| |
Fur seal |
King Kong, The World of Kong |
A population of fur seals seasonally nested on Skull Island's coast, where they were preyed upon by the Tartarusaurus that inhabited the area.[4] | |
Volucerictis |
King Kong, The World of Kong |
Volucerictis were insectivorous mammals boasting 15 to 18 inch wingspans related to the Terapusmordax. At dusk they emerged from their roosts in caves or hollow trees to hunt with their impressive night vision. Being fiercely territorial, solitary individuals and mated pairs would tolerate no interlopers near their roosts, particularly when they were guarding young. It was not unheard of for individuals to die in airborne disputes. If a larger carnivore chose to prey on Volucerictis they would defiantly fight, scratch and bite their opponents until their last breath. | |
Gaur |
The World of Kong | Gaur were a species of cattle, whose being identical to mainland Asiatic species suggested that they had arrived on Skull Island recently, possibly in the last thousand years. This timeframe suggested that they had been brought to the island by the original human inhabitants. The Guars survived surprisingly well in the jungle. Their horns made them formidable foes to their main predator, the Venatosaurus, and their dark coloration allowed them to blend in to their jungle surroundings. | |
Burglar Monkey |
The World of Kong | Burglar Monkeys were a species of one to two foot long monkeys that were more akin to tarsiers and loruses than true monkeys. They could be found climbing in the jungle's high canopy eating fruit, nuts, flower buds, insects and eggs. Not being especially fast, or in possession of defensive structures, Burglar Monkeys avoided predators by hiding in communal dens during the day and emerging at dusk, when their keen senses allowed them a greater edge. | |
Howler |
The World of Kong | Howlers were flying rodents with four to five foot wingspans that lived in the jungles of Skull Island. With their leathery wings, sharp teeth, eerie calls, and bulbous eyes, the bat-like predators searched the dark for birds, rats, large insects, and lizards. A favorite food of theirs was the Skull Island White Bat, which they tore from their roosts as they slept in the daytime, or hunted at dusk.
| |
Skull Island White Bat |
The World of Kong | Skull Island White Bats were a small species with seven to nine inch wingspans that were not true bats. They were instead an analagous species with rodent ancestry. Despite this, they had large ears and hunted insects and centipedes in the night by sonar. | |
Terapusmordax |
King Kong, The World of Kong |
| |
Skin-bird |
The World of Kong | Skin-birds were another flying rodent with a five to seven foot wingspan. They lived in solitude and were more of gliding rodents than fliers. Not being particularly adept at flying, and thus prevented from catching prey on the wing, Skin-birds hunted lizards and other terrestrial prey. They were one of the only species unaffected by Terapusmordax's scent, and would fly into their roosts to prey on their young, but had to be fast in this practice or they would be overwhelmed by the larger creatures.

Horse |
Kong on the Planet of the Apes (2018) | By the deep future, several civilizations had made contact with the Skull Islanders, and they had left many gifts, including horses which had become a staple in their lifestyle by the time Simian explorers arrived. |

Giant Gaur |
Kong Reborn | Herds of a gigantic species of black-skinned bovine with thin fur populated the jungles of Skull Island. They resembled the bull Gaur of Southeast Asia, but stood nine feet tall at the shoulder, and weighed at least three tons. Their curving horns were three feet long, and curved out and upward.[6] They were a typical prey species of the Meat-Eaters, and. In 2009, a Gaur was taken after trying to run away after hearing the creature approach from the jungle while it was grazing. | |
Giant One-Horned Rhino |
Kong Reborn | Gigantic rhinoceros with only one horn on their noses could be seen in the jungles. Their presence in the jungle is likely a reference to the scrapped Elasmotherium from the original film that was replaced by a Styracosaurus before their scene was cut completely.[7] | |
