While working on adding Animal Companions to my PFRPG product, I noticed, on page 53, that the Survival skill was not tagged as a Class Skill for the animals...
This is a bit surprising, and I was wondering if this was an Error or if it was intended.

No animal has ever had a survival modifier listed in its stat block, at least that I can recal.
Yea, no kidding. I think we're supposed to assume that animals don't use the same rules as humans for getting along in the wild.
Oh... my bad - most likely it is assumed that an animal would always 'manage' in the wilds and not even require a survival check! (well, pending a serious food shortage)
Thanks!

That's funny, it's in the PRD:
"Animal Skills
Animal companions can have ranks in any of the following skills: Acrobatics* (Dex), Climb* (Str), Escape Artist (Dex), Fly* (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Perception* (Wis), Stealth* (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim* (Str). "

Animals with the Track feat usually had Survival in 3.5. For instance, dogs.
