Is it possible to enter a number in one cell and have the cells in the adjacent row automatically fill in with additional information (text and numbers)?

Example:
1ABCD
2100Cat8 lbs.5
3101Dog15 lbs.12
4102Fish4 oz.2
5103Rabbit7 lbs.27
6104Snake1 lb.6

<tbody>
</tbody>

If I enter "102" in a cell on another sheet in the same document I would like for the next cell to read "Fish", the next cell in the row to say "4 oz.", and the next to be "2".

Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
You could just use VLOOKUP:
In "Sheet2" or whatever your lookup sheet is called, f.ex. enter 102 in A1 and information will show in B1, C1 and D1:
Assuming your lookup data is in Sheet1:
Code:
Cell B1 formula: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:B,2,FALSE)
Cell C1 formula: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:C,3,FALSE)
Cell D1 formula: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:D,4,FALSE)
