The bee is a Muslim precisely because it lives and dies obeying the "shariah."
Dogs are unclean and black dogs are evil.
Hyenas, bats, geckos, snakes, and other reptiles as well as insects are considered to represent ugliness, danger, viciousness, and power.
Bats are praised as a miracle of nature.
Geckos according to Sunni tradition were ordered to be killed. Muhammad called them 'little noxious creatures'.
In both Sunni and Shi'a accounts, Muhammad is said to have conversed nonchalantly with camels, birds and other species. In one account, a camel is said to have come to Muhammad and complained that despite service to his owner, the animal was about to be killed. Muhammad summoned the owner and ordered the man to spare the camel.
There are also accounts in Surah an-Naml in the Qur'an of Sulaiman talking to ants [Qur'an 27:18] and birds [Qur'an 27:20], and the Twelver and Ismaili Shi'a Imams declared that they could communicate with anything that had a soul.
