Animal instincts

Happy Friday! Before you turn into a "party animal" this weekend, take some time to consider this challenge: there are at least three different five-letter animals lurking among today's Blossom words. Can you find them all? As always with these sorts of challenges, please keep in mind that these short words don't make for impressive scores, so this is strictly a catch-and-release situation. Good luck!
