You see sheep traveling on the roofs of buses all the time in Mali, to say nothing of bicycles and motorbikes. (Here’s my photo of the same thing: http://picasaweb.google.com/peterbaldwin1/HKIMaliFinalEvaluation/photo#5004416724100156610).

My only photo of animals on vehicles is of goats on a bus in Ghana:
