      There have been many planets recently discovered with habitable atmospheres and climates within the last 2-3 years, and this is just what we can see! Now if you think of the vast universe with billions of other planets there HAS to be other planets with terrestrial animals, it is impossible that we are the only life forms out there!

      Stephen, great answer!

      If you want to check more this website is very cool
      https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/

      NASA has identified already 348 planets that might be very similar to earth. And plenty more if you relax the condition for a planet to be habitable a little.

      Now, technically, the only way to have terrestrial animals there is to send some. Because the animals that could potentially live in those planets will be extraterrestrial. :p

      To the best of my Knowledge ,8.74 Million Species on Earth. I don’t believe
      terrestrial animals to be found in other planets only just because of oxygen absence or Perhaps life on other planets evolved without other physical form. I am not sure about it.
