Jet Powered Animals

Looking at the recent questions on dragons and aviation bureaucracy has got me thinking about some animals I could include in my story.

I want these animals to be jet powered. One of the answers on the first dragons question explains why dragons can't be. However, cows aren't the only animals that produce methane and surely the characteristics of animals must make them more or less suitable for jet modification.

Presumably there's some limit at which an animal can't be jet powered. They'd also need some heat protection, but would thick skin be enough? You tell me. Assuming the hand waving necessary to give these animals wings, which Earth animal is easiest to modify for jets?
