I was looking up animal companions in the Bestiary, and I ran across some discrepancies. I tried to find a discussion of this on the boards, but haven't found anything.
Apes in PCR have a 1d6 bite and 2 1d6 claws.
Apes in Best have 2 slams for 1d6.
Lions in PCR have trip and grab with their claws.
Lions in Best have no trip and grab with their bite.
Velociraptors in PCR have 2 talon attacks for 1d8, a 1d6 bite, and 2 1d4 claws and are at max size medium.
Velociraptors in Best have the same thing, except under the druid animal companion section at the bottom, where they just have a 2d6 bite, and are size large.
Vipers in PCR deal 1 Con damage.
There is no Snake, Viper in the Bestiary, but both Familiar, Viper and Snake, Venomous deal 1d2 Con damage.
I haven't checked absolutely all the information, but I'm guessing there are more discrepancies. I've checked the most recent erratas, and nothing is mentioned. Any guidance?

The animal companion statblocks differ from the mundane versions of the animals from the Bestiary for specific reasons. You are to use the statblocks listed with the various other available options listed in the book. The alternate animal companions available have a listing reference on page 316.
On the bottom of each there is a statblock for the companion version of the animal.
