 Monkey.
Among them, 巳, noon, Shen, and You are different from the current 12 zodiac signs, and the correspondence with the 12 earth branches is also different. Some scholars have verified that the worm may be a snake, and the ancient pronunciation of "ring" is similar to "ape", which can be inferred to have a relationship with monkeys. The ancient pronunciation of water is similar to "pheasant" and can be regarded as chicken. Therefore, the biggest difference is the deer. Why deer became the zodiac, and why it subsequently evolved into dogs, also needs future archaeological support.
In Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty's "On Heng", the dog has become the zodiac, and the correspondence with the twelve earth branches is consistent with the one we use now.
