Today for one reason or another the topic came up at lunch of what types of animals are named in the Gospels. We had a good time trying to think of as many as we could. Afterwards, I thought I would try finding the answer with Verbum 6, and I must say, it was quite easy. 
Here are the steps:
1. In the Bible search tab, limit your search to the "Gospels". Then type "animal". From the dropdown, select the "sense" animal.
Run the search. This will search for the sense of "animal" and also all subsenses, which include all the specific animals! (BTW, if you want to search for ONLY the sense "animal" without the subsenses, you can do so adding the equals sign, <Sense = animal>).
Now is where it gets really good. What if I actually want a list of all the animals? Verbum 6 can do that very easily as well. Just select "Save as Word List" from the dropdown.
Sort the list by "Gloss" if you like.
Note that apparently there is an error in the results! The results include "courtyard; palace", which is obviously not an animal!!
To figure out why this is the case, go back to your search panel, and switch over to the Analysis View. Then organize by Lemma and look for the corresponding lemma, αὐλή.
It is from John 10:1. If we look at the Reverse Interlinear data, we can see what is happening.
The whole phrase "dwelling of the sheep" is being translated with one word, "sheepfold", so that when we run the search on the English translation for <Sense animal>, all three Greek words are being returned.
It is easy to fix this, however, if you remember that all of the basic tagging is done on the Greek text of the SBLGNT. So, let's run the search over on the SBLGNT.
Notice that there are the same number of verse results, 152, but now we have 188 hits instead of 203. So, that means we have "shed" 15 false hits that were caused by the way the English translation translated the Greek words, as in the case of "sheepfold" translating "dwelling of the sheep".
Now, rerun the Save as Word List.
Now everything works correctly, with no false hits. You can then select Print/Export and export the list to Excel if you like.
Now, admittedly, having a complete and accurate list of what animals appear in the Gospels is probably not too useful for most people! But hopefully the principles illustrated can be useful - how <Sense> searches can search subsenses, the ability to create Word lists from searches, and how the SBLGNT is your go-to text when you need to make sure the tagging is correct.
