{{Twelve Colonies Series}}
This article is a list of fictional and real animals and plants mentioned in the [[re-imagined]] series as existing on [[the Twelve Colonies]]. For the most part, the colonies appear to have the same organisms as present-day earth, with the exceptions noted below.

In keeping with the [[naturalistic science fiction]] concepts that [[Ron D. Moore]] uses to model the series, it is unlikely that we may see any life forms outside of those found on any of the Earth-like planets of the Twelve Colonies.

==Fictional==
===Plants===
*[[Fumarella leaf]]
:'''Baltar:''' A parting gift: hand-rolled from some of the finest Fumarella leaf on Caprica. It's also one of the last left in the universe. ([[Water]])
:''An homage to the [[TOS|original series]], in which [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]'s [[Wikipedia:Cigar|cigars]] are referred to as "[[Fumarello|fumarellos]]". This plant may be similar or identical to [[Wikipedia:Tobacco|tobacco]].''
*[[Chamalla]]
:'''Roslin:''' I would like to explore alternative treatment. [...] Have you ever heard of Chamalla extract? ([[Act of Contrition]])
:''Resembles (somewhat) herbal [[Wikipedia:Cannabinoids|cannabinoids]] and [[Wikipedia:Opioids|opioids]] in its pain-killing and hallucinogenic effects, which are found in the plant [[Wikipedia:Cannabis|cannabis]] and the [[Wikipedia:Opium Poppy|opium poppy]], respectively.''

==Real==
===Animals===

*[[Wikipedia:Dog|Dog]]
:'''Cally:''' "She said the engine powerup sequence began by squeezing something that looks like a red ligament with blue veins on the right side coming out of a sack of gooey fluid, shaped like a... dog." ([[Six Degrees of Separation]])
*[[Wikipedia:Horse|Horse]]
:'''Tyrol:''' "Take it for a ride. Treat it like a horse." ([[Six Degrees of Separation]])

====Birds====
*[[Wikipedia:Bird of prey|Birds of Prey]]

*[[Wikipedia:Parakeet|Parakeet]]

:''While the animal has never been specifically mentioned, it's reasonable to assume the [[Viper]] is named after it, and Roslin saw halucinatory vipers.''
*[[Wikipedia:Python|Python]]
:'''Adama:''' "Betrayal has such a powerful grip on the mind. It's almost like a python. You can squeeze out the thought, suffocate all other emotion until everything is dead except for the rage." ([[Home, Part I]])

====Fish====

===Plants===
