An animal ramp is a man made structure built to help animals overcome height differences. This can be to help load animals onto trailers or for water fowl to exit the water body where the shoreline has been altered in a way which makes it difficult for them to exit the water.
How to map
Depending on the size and shape of the ramp, set a node for a small ramp, draw a line or the whole area and add the tag man_made=animal_ramp. If it is known which animal (group) it is for, add the tag for the animal=*. If the ramp is bordered by walls, you can add them using barrier=wall.
If there are images on Wikimedia available, you can add them using wikimedia_commons=*.
