Question

Wild animals to teach children of 2-6 yrs?

Answer 1

Try some exotic animal. As a kindergarten teacher, the kids want to hear about animals other than one they are used to seeing. If you have a local Zoo think about some animals that are there and use those.  The cartoon Madagascar is an excellent way to find out about some of the animals the kids might be interested in. Let them tell you..

Try and  think of animals that have many stories written about them.

Answer 2

Divide the animals up into different parts.  I don't mean hack them.  I mean:

Amphibians

Birds

Fish

Reptiles

Mammals

Arthropods

You can teach them about classifying animals and vertebrates / invertebrates.

This will make it easier to know which animals to use for which material.
