This sign advertising Arabic-language lessons has been posted up around my place of work for a few months now.
The alphabet proceeds right-to-left (note the use of red to indicate the first letter of each word) and the list includes a few animals with names relatively similar to their English counterparts: e.g. in the first row جمل (jamal) = camel; in the second row زرافة (zaraafah) = giraffe; in the third row غزال (ghazaal) = gazelle.
P.S. [Added September 2010] I've noticed that you can find a larger version of this chart (with basic Arabic lessons) at this website.
