What non-primate animals have similar blood to humans?

+0
−0

I am writing about a blood magic cult, and they drink/paint with collected blood to preform rituals and bursts of magic. Most of their supply is garnered through the use of human cattle, but in a pinch blood of other animals can give some power (but the power is greatly reduced). The story takes place in a mythical setting, but I would like to stick to creatures found on Earth.

I know primates have similar blood, but what about other kinds of animals? It would help my story to have a list of non-primate animals that have blood similar to human blood, and figured this would be the place to ask. The best answer would have a few animals with very similar blood, a few animals with extremely different blood, and a short explanation of what makes it so.
