usually the trick with those that and which clauses is to understand what the THAT and WHICH is modifying...

so
"x that " if x is a plural noun, then use a plural verb...

just try to imagine the split in your mind:

A list of animals that exhibit ...blah blah... has been

list goes with has been (list is the subject, has been is the verb phrase)

of animals that exhibit blah blah is a long modifier that modifies the list. within the modifer, treat it like its own separate clause, if you will...

edit: so... animals exhibit
