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.
Fictional
Plants
- 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 original series, in which Starbuck's cigars are referred to as "fumarellos". This plant may be similar or identical to tobacco.
- Roslin: I would like to explore alternative treatment. [...] Have you ever heard of Chamalla extract? (Act of Contrition)
- Resembles (somewhat) herbal cannabinoids and opioids in its pain-killing and hallucinogenic effects, which are found in the plant cannabis and the opium poppy, respectively.
Real
Animals
- Adama: ...then grab your gun and bring in the cat. (Mini-Series)
- 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)
- Tyrol: "Take it for a ride. Treat it like a horse." (Six Degrees of Separation)
- Starbuck: "A horse. Why not a goat? I mean, that's good, right? Think of it as a goat." (Six Degrees of Separation)
- Jammer: I don't care if they put a giant parakeet in here. If the colonel says build a cell, we build a cell. (Resistance)
- Rats
- Salmon
- Baltar: There was an off-road bridge, over the Euclid river. I used to go there, when I was a boy. Watch the fish try and swim upstream. They were mesmerizing. (Home, Part I)
- What Baltar describes, without naming, are anadromous fish - almost certainly a type of salmon.
Plants
- Gaeta: Seven other container ships are refusing to release their supplies. Food, medicine, even coffee. (Resistance)
- Roslin: Chamalla and Licorice. Would you like some? (Resistance)
