As far as is known to the public, the only living creatures to have orbited the moon so far

have been 27 astronauts on 9 Apollo missions.

Two steppe tortoises, in September 1968, were aboard the Soviet Union's Zond 5. This was an unmanned spacecraft that made a circumlunar flight and returned to earth.

How many different animals have been into space?

So far to date 186 different species (187 if you included Humans) have flown in space. It is probably more if you count the various types of bacteria, but that is the official total, (thanks to NASA for getting back to me so quickly). Apart from the Monkeys, Chimpanzees and Dogs used by the United States and Russia, the more notable species include the first rat in space launched by France in 1961. They followed that with another first in 1963 with the launch of Felix the cat. Russia launched a tortoise in 1968, who along with some wine flies and meal worms became the first animals in deep space when they were flown to the Moon and back. Tortoises also set the record for the length of time spent in space, when a pair were flown in Soyuz 20 in 1975, spending a total of just over 90 days in space. Skylab 3 carried the first Fish into space in 1973, it was a mummichog. Also on that flight were the first spiders in space, two Cross Spiders named Arabella and Anita. With the advent of the Space Shuttle, the USA has flown more creatures in space than any other country.
