** Pure Lands are the opposite of Hells, in the sense that they are places of peace and confortability where the very lucky ones can reborn to practice Dharma in the best circumtances and attain Nirvana easily. However Pure Lands are not from the original canon and are believe to exist only from some branches, and are not a seventh realm they are part of the human realm as their denizens are mostly human, but can't be sense or reach by normal physical means, working more like a paradise like PocketDimension.

* Buddhist cosmology is basically split as follows: there are six realms; human, animal, Deva, Asura, Pretta (hungry spirits) and Hell.

While animal sentience is undeniable in most species, specially of vertebrates, a Sponge have no brain and thus no mind, and thus is not an animal in the Buddhist sense.

Arda doesn't really count. Even being generous by counting subspecies and different races of the same species (human/hobbit/drudein, regular and fallen Ainur, both kinds of trolls... hell even humans and elves, as noted by Tolkien, are actually the same race that has minor enough physical differences to interbreed), the evil "races" are explicitly just corrupted and selectively bred members of a different race, not their own thing.
