You have spent years studying and working with various animals, learning how best to handle them. Your knowledge of animals knows no bounds and your understanding of wildlife has gotten you out of, and maybe into, some tricky situations.

Discuss with your DM the various exotic animals you would have worked with and studied. Use only animals your DM allows and make sure they're aware of any important traits for these animals so they can make sure to keep things organized.
