The Nose-Horns sound like rhinoceros, but those already exist. Are the Long-Noses elephants? Somehow that doesn't sound right to me--I have a hard time thinking of elephants in Prax for some reason. And Lopers? Kangaroos would fit the jumping quality implied in the name, but it does sound a little bit silly. Dik-diks?
These are lopers:

I know that one, because I've heard Greg himself say so, but I don't recall him identifying the others. Which doesn't mean he hasn't, of course. Still, if it was me, I'd be inclined to guess at these:

Long-nose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8.jpg Nose-horn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Synthetoceras_BW.jpg
