Is there a list of available animal forms that the druid can assume at a given level? If so where is this list?

Dinosaurs, animals, dire animals and legendary animals are all subtype "animal". However, I was of the impression that Legandary was a template, which is not allowed. I suppose it might be avoidable if the animal's statistics are actually printed in a source seperate from the template source (which ape might be, but I don't know where) but that's kind of a grey area.

It actually says at the end of the first paragraph about legendary animals that they are rarely encountered outside of high-level druids. They are not templates, and they have the animal type. Sidenote: Excuse my blindness, but could someone point out the place where it says druid can't change into templated creatures? I must of missed it.
