I doubt the curse effected anything non-humanoid, except Mermaids which can just swim away.

It's surprising that Graham's Wolf came because I didn't think that the Curse stripped the land of animals and forestry. Are we to assume that the rest of the EF was in shambles like Snow and David's castle? We never see it and I assume so, since Regina put a protection spell around her castle and Rumple's castle was in (better) ruins too.

So, I would believe that animals may have came to and luckily it isn't a completely different biome or tons of creatures would die.

I'll guess that Regina didn't feel like programming the animals to change identities. Another curiosity is how does Regina do that? How could Regina change the personality of thousands of people in a moment. I guess she just sat in a chamber outside of time and programmed an identity into each indvidual or profile and didn't care about the animals after going through countless other profiles. Snow had it easy and just wished it to be as it was.

So, I say that it did seeing that it transportted the creature and kept it alive and around the same age.
