The Killer Shrews is a comedy classic. I liked Jaws and Piranha was okay. It's been a very long time but I remember thinking Orca was pretty good. Cujo was okay but it dragged a bit at times. It's hard not to like any movie with Dee Wallace.
Are we counting things like bugs, worms, birds, bats and spiders in this category? If so, there's Day of the Animals, Squirm, Kingdom of the Spiders, The Bees, The Swarm, Nightwing, The Birds, Frogs and Phase 4.
And I feel I have to mention The Long Weekend and both versions of Willard. -

I will always love
Night Of The Lepus
, mentioned also by kurt7825. Who couldn't get behind a movie about giant killer bunnies? My favorite, though, would have to be
Prophecy
(1979, aka
Prophecy The Monster Movie
). I'll always have a soft spot for
The Killer Shrews
; that was one of the very first VHS tapes I bought (from a bargain bin for $2.50, Elvira double-feature with
The Giant Gila Monster
; I bought
The Giant Claw
the same day; I suppose that counts as an animal horror. It WAS a bird after all. A bird the size of a battleship!)- Oh, SOMEbody asides me is gonna RUE this here particular day

I was just looking up a list of cryptids because I forgot the name of one, and I discovered that the Wikipedia "Cryptid List" is really, really comprehensive, and shows pictures of a lot of them beside each entry.
I thought you might secretly want to browse the list too:

That is a good list! There is lots of comprehensive lists like that on Wikipedia - I spent a lot of time looking through them. They are a great read

Wikipedia is AWESOME. The best part is that they actually give the sources for the information, and if some of the information doesn't have good enough sources the article will actually tell you that.
This is a big, big improvement on the old "Paper Encyclopedias" that never gave you the sources for the information in each entry. We were just supposed to "trust them."
Proper academic writing requires proper sources. Jimmy "Blue" Whale was the founder of Wikipedia and I think he is a world historical genius. -

When I was in college, it was always made little of by the lecturers and academics for it not been a reliable source for information but I totally disagree. I think it is a fantastic go-to guide for all information. Yeah, absolutely, all proper academic writing
requires
sources and the citations are always easily laid out for the reader.
