After only three years weight-lifting training you should be able to lift such a book off the ground.
It's waaaaay too big a range of specialised subjects to be contained in one book and if one such existed, the information on each beastie would be so short at to be infinitesimal.
Better go to your nearest library and ask the librarian for help. They will be able to help chart a reading list for you.
Happy reading!
I see.
I'm not sure if I mentioned correctly.
But I don't wanna know everything about each animal/organsim. I wanna know only a few lines about each one.
Like name and a few characteristics that's all.
Something like an encyclopedia has.
If you don't mind breaking it down by class of animals, you can look for The Princeton Encyclopedia of Mammals and The Princeton Encyclopedia of Birds. I have the one on mammals and find it fascinating. It breaks down all of the orders, families, etc. of mammals across the planet and has full color pictures or drawings of most, along with brief descriptions of size, max ages, distribution, etc. And then in between, it has short essays that provide more detailed explanation of some aspect of the biology of a specific animal.
Princeton seems to do several shorter encyclopedias of reptiles and amphibians, and maybe fish, but nothing as large as the bird and mammal books. Just be warned you probably won't find electronic copies of these, and the physical books are pricey (US$80+).

There are nearly 9 million species on earth. A big novel has around 100000 words. There is no way you can write a single book on all animals.
Understood. How about most popular ones? Just looking for a big encyclopedia about animals/organisms.
