Sir hddscan, can you give me reference how you arrived at животного assuming it is ? Is it genitive? My grammar book says that if it end in -e-, you remove it and replace it with -я- unless it is irregular which I do not know. Thank you for the corrections.

There is a bunch of nouns in Russian which were formerly adjectives, and they are declined like adjectives.
E.g. животное, мороженое, столовая, полицейский etc.
