The SA Maned Wolf is an animal almost designed to be a witch's familiar. I suppose the fox's stat block with a bonus feat of Skill Focus (Stealth) and 10' fee to move would suffice for a maned wolf.
A sloth would be good one for a SA feel. I would suggest a wolverine's stat block minus the attacks and a maximum of 10' of ground movement. Give it a climb speed of 20' and this that would be fine.
The armadillo (fun fact: the armadillo is hunted as food in parts of SA) and anteater (this is not the giant anteater that most are familiar with (no pun intended) but a tiny anteater cousin of the bigger anteaters) would also make interesting, unique familiars. Add the chinchilla (this is the long-tailed chinchilla, the most known of the chinchilla family, but all the chinchillas work), and theCapybara and you have a a fairly good selection of animals.
Have any of the rest of you had players want odd, or unusual familiars?
