The Russian word for animal is животное, spelled zhivotnoye and pronounced zhi-VOT-naye. Plural for animals is животные.

However, if you want to use figuratively to mean a fearless and virile male (as in "He was just an animal in that game!"), the appropriate word is зверь, pronounce zver.

Don't make a mistake of calling a person whose raw power you admire a zhivotnoye. That would mean he is a beast, a pig, or a lowlife.
