Sponges, coral, starfish, seaurchens, and sand dollars were common as well Brachiopods and cephalopods were rare. Mollusksclams, oysters, mussels, and snails- thrived through out the era. Crabs and barnacles were common as well. A land, the Spiders, centipedes, scorpions, and insects continued to thrive. Insects including butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, ants, beetles, and many others. Most Cenozoic fish were like that of late Mesozoic time. Sharks and rays were abundant and gigantic. Some sharks were 20 meters long with jaws nearly 2 meters wide. Amphibians, such as frogs, toads, and salamanders, were about as common as they are now. The reptiles-turtles, lizards, snake, and crocodiles- resemble those of today. Birds developed that were similar to those of today. At times, there were many large, flightless, ostrich like types. Some were three meters tall. Extinct Creodonts, oreodons an early grazing animal that resembles a deer, the mastodon a kind of gigantic elephant, brontotherium a gigantic rhino like animal, blachitherium rhino like animal , armadillo a gigantic sloth like animal.

In the earlier part of the Cenozoic, the world was dominated by the gastornid birds, terrestrial crocodiles like Pristichampsus, and a handful of primitive large mammal groups like uintatheres, mesonychids, and pantodonts. But as the forests began to recede and the climate began to cool, other mammals took over. The Cenozoic is full of mammals both strange and familiar, including chalicotheres, creodonts, whales, primates, entelodonts, saber-toothed cats, mastodons and mammoths, three-toed horses, giant rhinoceros like Indricotherium, and brontotheres.
