a lot of pokemon are based on real life animals.

like the mudkip which was based on Axolotl, an actual species:

Paras was inspired by this creature

Sandshrew was obviously inspired by the armadillo.

A dik dik:

I remember seeing this fish pokemon in an ep once... oh wait, it exists too.

Dik Dik and Okapi are animals long since hunted on game safari's and a popular thing to eat over there, though thankfully, the pressure has been lessened quite a bit on either species last I checked.

What did they do to that poor gerbil? It was frantically trying to clean some sticky crap off it's belly. It's obviously poorly kept too.

Was that even a gerbil?

That's not a gerbil. It's a jerboa. Two different species.

I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find more actual animals that pokemon are adapted from.

The Philadelphia zoo used to have a good number of Kirk's dik dik's. I first saw one there when I was just a kid. Cute little buggers.

Armadillos........Texans think of them as biological speed bumps.
