Animals including many insects[78] and mammals[79] feature in mythology and religion. Among the insects, in both Japan and Europe, as far back as ancient Greece and Rome, a butterfly was seen as the personification of a person's soul, both while they were alive and after their death.[78][80][81] The scarab beetle was sacred in ancient Egypt,[82] while the praying mantis was considered a god in southern African Khoi and San tradition for its praying posture.[83] Among the mammals, cattle,[84] deer,[79] horses,[85] lions[86] and wolves (and werewolves),[87] are the subjects of myths and worship. Of the twelve signs of the Western zodiac, six—Aries (ram), Taurus (bull), Cancer (crab), Leo (lion), Scorpio (scorpion), and Pisces (fish)—are animals, while two others, Sagittarius (horse/man) and Capricorn (fish/goat) are hybrid animals; the name zodiac indeed means a circle of animals.
