Oh, you want to hear more about the other Timber Resistance Groups? They seemingly all had "forest" in the game. Forest Foxes, Forest Owls, Forest Duck.

President Deling gathered them up and sent them to D-Prison. That's Dingo Desert. So we could infer that dingos are native to the Galbadia continent. Lions (wings or no) must also be an animal. Although Rinoa mistook the one on Squall's ring as a monster. Moombas are lion-like and work in the prison. Since they're slaves, it's not unthinkable that Moombas were also used as soldiers to hunt down Resistance Member families.
President Deling executed Zone and Watts' fathers in front of them.

Chocobos literally have their own forests, but there aren't any Chocobo forests on Galbadia.
