Falcon:
Horus refers primarily to two separate deities of the Ancient Egyptian Religion: Horus the Elder and Horus the Younger, but also to a number of minor deities.. In later dynastic times, and in the works of Plutarch, they came to be known as one and the same. The Horuses appear in their earliest forms in late Predynastic Egypt. Represented as a falcon[citation needed] or hawk, his name is believed to mean "the high," "the far-off," "he who is above," or "that which is above" and his earliest connections are to the sky and kingship, derived from being the son of Hathor or Nut, as a sun god. Because the cult of Horus survived for the whole of the Ancient Egyptian civilization that extended for thousands of years, he gained many forms and associations.

Frog:
In many cultures frogs are linked to the element in which they reside: water. In myths they figure as bringers of rain or thunder, calling the water down with their croaking. In the Vedas, the croaking of frogs is said to be a thanksgiving to Heaven for the fertilizing Spring rains. In Vietnam the toad was called the 'sky-god's uncle' who told the sky-god when to pour out the water. The person who harmed a toad would be struck by lightning. In the Celtic tradition, each stream and spring had its own spirit, and frogs were considered the messengers of these water spirits. Because of its connection to rain and water, the frog was also associated with the cleansing and healing powers of water. Frog eggs were thought to cure rheumatism, and to cure a sore eye, a person only had to lick it after first licking a frog's eye.
Frogs and toads were considered lunar creatures, and were connected to the underworld. The symbolism of the toad was generally darker than that of the frog: it was sometimes regarded as a malignant spirit, a witch's familiar or depicted as the attribute of a skeleton. In Ancient China however, toads were a symbol of longevity, and they were associated with Liu Hai, the God of wealth. The goddess of the Moon was also depicted as a toad.
Frogs were not symbols of death but, on the contrary, of rebirth and renewal, because of its remarkable metamorphosis of egg into tadpole and from tadpole into frog. The Egyptian goddess Heket was depicted as a frog or a frog-headed woman. She was a patron of childbirth and one of the midwives who assisted at the birth of the Sun. But the frog was not always a positive symbol: in Christianity it was a symbol of uncleanliness because it lives in mud, and the bible tells of a plague of frogs in Egypt.

Crane:The crane was sacred to Delian Apollo and, before Apollo, to the Sun-hero Thesus.

The gods fled, disguised in bestial forms: "Mercury into an ibis, Apollo into a crane, a Thracian bird, Diana into a cat."

"Mercury invented the alphabet after watching the flight of cranes."

It was said by Hyginus that the original thriteen-consonant alphabet was taken by Mercury into Egypt, then brought back by Cadmus into Greece, and from there taken by Evander the Arcadian into Italy, where his mother, Carmenta (a Muse) adapted them into the then fifteen letters of the Latin apphabet.

Wolf:
Demonic and devilish: In the Edda, the ancient Icelandic sagas, the wolf was a symbol for demonic powers: Odin, the God of war and death was accompanied by two wolves, and the mythical wolf, Fenrir, played an important role during the apocalypse. In Indian mythology, the wolf is described as demonic. Furthermore, the wolf is portrayed as thievish, deceptive and false. In India, the demons were named after the wolf. In Christianity the wolf was even equated with the devil: Jesus Christ advised against false prophets dressed in sheep’s clothing which in fact were wolfs. Numerous myths from Eastern Europe, Russia and Scandinavia tell about the creation of the wolf by the devil. During the creation of the wolf, the devil relied on the help of God and it was God’s will that the wolf kills sheep and goats.

Bear:
Some evidence has been brought to light on prehistoric bear worship, see Arctic, Arcturus, Great Bear, Berserker, Kalevala. Anthropologists such as Joseph Campbell have regarded this as a common feature in most of the fishing and hunting-tribes. The prehistoric Finns, along with most Finno-Ugric peoples, considered the bear as the spirit of one's forefathers. This is why the bear was a greatly respected animal, with several euphemistic names.

Ape:
That one is a toughie :P!lol
