Contrary to popular belief, not many Super Sentai are animal-inspired. Out of the 33 series, there is only about 15 or so series that has animals, mythical creatures or dinosaurs. I was curious to see how many animals or beasts were repeated. I have updated this intensively since the first time I posted this and plan to make a new post every year when there are more animals added.
If you are looking for the animal from Power Rangers, I am referring to the original intention in Super Sentai. Power Rangers are notorious for changing the animal's identity.

Incredible list. Wouldn't the sabre tooth tiger from Zyuranger be a prehistoric animal because it's extinct?
Also, I think there was a turtle or tortoise mecha in Zyu (or was it Dairanger...otherwise known as Tor in MMPR.
Sabertooth Tiger is under 'one shot' because it was only done once. It doesn't count as a tiger, in the same way that the mammoth doesn't count as an elephant.
"Tor" is under tortoise. Dai Mugen from Dairanger.
I see a spoiler for shinkenger somewhere...wow!
This is definitely a great list. Definitely helpful to keep track to which Sentai used what animal.
Just wondering though, but aren't tortoises land animals and not sea-dwelling animals? Those would actually be called turtles then...
Amazing list, but Pterodactls? Actually those are Pteranodons.
