My general idea was that if the alien world were similar in gravity and climate to Earth's, that many of the animals wouldn't be extremely different than what we see on Earth. There would be a few structural and reproductive differences, but they'd have many of the same traits.
As for meeting them, unless aliens come to us or we send intelligent robots or something, it's unlikely that we'll meet them. To create a warp drive would be to produce so much radiation that everything in your ship, including you, would be fried. So yeah, there's that problem.
