What animal forms can a druid take in World of Warcraft

Note: The act of all shape-shifting frees the druid of polymorph effects and movement imparing effects (Entangling Roots, Frost Nova, Cone of Cold, Concussive Shot). Note: Nature's Grasp can be used in Bear form, Dire Bear form, Cat form, and Moonkin Form. Travel and Aquatic form cannot use any spells, and Tree of Life restricts most spells. Both Flight forms can not go into any combat (well fighting at least, running away XD)

Flight Form is learned at level 60 - This form transforms the Druid into a flight form increasing movement speed by 150% (equal to regular flying mounts).

Swift Flight Form is learned at level 70 - increases movement speed by 280% (equal to epic flying mounts).

Cannot be used in combat. Can only be used in Outland or Northrend (with Cold Weather Flying at level 77). Obtained through a quest chain at level 70, or trainable at level 71. Requires a riding skill of 300.
