Pet release list?

[Pardona]

This batch of newly released pets has got me wondering... I did have an account a good 2 years ago, so I have seen some of the other pets appear. But I also know that there were originally even less pets. So I was wondering - is there a list 'out there' somewhere, that lists the original pets and when the others came into rotation?

I've been around 6 years, so I can tell you which pets were out when I joined (late December 1999).

Chia, Kiko, Wocky, Uni, Aisha, Bruce, Flotsam, Jetsam, Tatsu (now Eyrie), Badeek (now Kacheek), Macy Gray (now Kau), Mellish (now Mynci), Nimmo, Scorchio, Skeith, Lenny, Korbat, Skeith, Tuskaninny, Usul, Jibjib (Jubjub), and Grarrl.

The Tatsu was a dragon-type pet, the Badeek was basically the old weird-looking Kacheek, the Macy Gray was like Macy Gray but with a ray gun, and the Mellish looked like a grunge teenager with an orange turban and weird eyes.

I've heard that the Grarrl was the first Neopet species to be released, but I've also heard that about Chias. Not sure how you'd verify that.

Beginning in 2000, you can just go through the news and see when they were released.
