Many of the animals were brought from other star systems
as part of terraforming 30 to 40 millennia ago. Barker
posits that many of these species were from planets
with six-legged species (including the dominant sophonts
of those worlds). The other interesting thing is his use
of three-eye creatures and beings. I don't know of any
biology to explain this, but we don't know much about
xenobiology.
