Animals is a neutral term, so there is no opposite. English is mostly a neutral-gendered language. However, specific animals often have male and female terms, and a different term for the young.

Examples:

Consider the bovine species. The male is a bull, a female that has given birth is a cow, a female that hasn't given birth is a heifer, and the young are calves (with a single one being a calf).

Deer are divided into bucks (male) and does (female).

Chickens are divided into roosters (male) and hens (female). The young are chicks or biddies.
