Everything that does live on the planet, are aquatic species if they can even be called that, considering they aren't living in water. Fish, whales, sharks, the whole nine yards. various species of deep-sea plant life, also modified and evolved to live within a liquid methane ocean.
Impressively, it doesn't seem to have taken the hostile edge that earth's natural habitats have, for some indiscernible reason. Perhaps they simply didn't have a reason to rake their claws and gnash their teeth when humanity came apart at the seams.
