Bears
A bear is in an exhibit at the zoo in Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes. When Otis is akumatized into "Animan", he releases the bear.

While akumatized, Otis also turns into a bear form to fight against Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Butterflies
Gabriel Agreste owned a plethora of white butterflies that he turned into akumas. He nurtured them in the underground repository in the vegetation surrounding Émilie's cryogenic pod, and harvested them when they hatch.

In "Dearest Family", Shadow Moth figured out how to evolve his powers, allowing him to create a Megakuma, a stronger akuma that is capable of breaking through the barrier of the Magical Charms.
Catfish
Multiple catfish live in the Seine. In the Miraculous Adventures story "Silurus", after a fisherman is akumatized into the villain Silurus, he gains the ability to control said catfish. One giant catfish lands with its mouth open onto Chloé, who complains she is being swallowed by a "too fresh piece of sushi".
Cats

While Marinette as Ladybug is trying to record a new video for Alya with Alya's cellphone in "The Mime", a gray cat comes by and knocks the placed cellphone into the garbage can below.
In "Kuro Neko", Rythm becomes one of Shadow Moth's victims and he promised her "the biggest cat in the whole wide world". When Ladybug convinces her to get rid of Kuro Neko, she cries about her losing her cat. Then, Cat Walker comes in and gives the child the cat. The child happily plays with it, running around the Stade des Princes with it.
