Has all nature mutated on Athas?, or are there still some animals more akin to typical worlds?
If so, wich kinds?

I am sure that some haven't changed dramatically, but they will have some change.

I am going to go off the original edition for some that remain more or less normal...

Vermin
Bat
Cats, Great (some cosmetic changes)
Rat
Lizard
Snake(except Sea and Giant)

Some Standard Monsters include...
Ankheg
Behir*
Bulette
Cave Fisher
Dragonne*
Ettercap*
Ettin*
Genie, all*
Giant-kin, Cyclops*
Golem
Kenku*
Pseudodragon*
Plant, Carnivorous
Remorhaz
Roc (though not necessary as there is the Athasion version in print)
Sandling
Skeleton
Wyvern*
Yuan-ti*
Zombie

*indicats possible psi ability

Hope that helps.

Speaking of animals, is there an alternate list for Druid/Ranger Animal Companions in DS?

My view is that the more "Normal" amimals on Athas have changed.

Imagine a "Normal" animal, and find a new role for it.

The Tree slothes are predators.

Speculations...

Bears are hairless and have a thick hide like an armidillo

Squid live in the trees now in the swamps of the forest ridge.

I usually shun normal animals in my game. I want Athas to be an almost alien landscape.

Supposedly cats and dogs are present on Athas, but they are resoundingly missing from the novels, supplements, and adventures, instead replaced with kivits and jakhars.
