Chickens (Ako): Commonly used in sacrifices, chickens symbolize purity and are associated with various Orishas, including Oshun and Oya.

Snakes (Aboru, Aboye): Considered sacred, snakes symbolize transformation and healing. They are connected to Orisha Damballah, associated with wisdom and divination.
Rams (Ariwó): Used in sacrificial ceremonies, rams are associated with Chango, the Orisha of thunder and lightning, symbolizing strength and power.
