In this modern era, more emphasis are on sustainable and environmental friendly materials. This demand has made the current advancement in the technological world to requires innovative and sustainable ways of materials production. The need to ensure a sustainable green future is currently the driving force for ensuring the complete replacement of non-biodegradable materials with biodegradable ones. Hence, available natural resources are now receiving more attention in environmental friendly processing methods. Thus, the use of wastes from animals in composite fabrication is one of the salient means of achieving this feat. Therefore, this review presents the potentials of various animal-based natural fibre which are not often discussed elaborately in many articles unlike plant-based natural fibre, though widely used. Hence, the review revealed that different animal fibers from wool and feather have their unique properties despite having basically keratin protein structure in animals and birds as well as fibroin structure in silk while animal-based particles from shells and bones possess essential structures in form of calcium carbonate and glucopyranose. These constituents and structures were observed to be responsible for improved performance in bio-composite development. Thus the review present sources, types and processing routes for several applications such as biomedical, transportation, electronics, building and construction, packaging and textiles. Keywords: bio composite, eco-friendly material, natural fibre, fibroin, keratin, protein, silk.
