Harder, Stronger, Faster, Better

[stewstew5]

I am homebrewing some content, and for balancing purposes need to know:

The highest-strength animal (creature with beast tag) under CR 5
The highest-constitution animal under CR 5

Each of the above, but under CR 1/2

The largest animal under CR 1/2 and CR 5

The highest-speed animal und CR 1/2 and CR 5

My resources are poor atm so help is appreciated
