Working with 3D animals is harder than humans because one, people usually have more familiarity with humans, and two, 3D animals may move differently than real animals due to the way they ended up deciding to rig them. You need to work with the model and learn it and the learning curve may be steeper for some than others. Having reference photos on hand will help tremendously. Test all the joints and see what they do and how they work with each other and affect each other. Have fun with them, but realize some work is involved to make them look realistic in the movements. These images have little to no postwork on the figures (the tongue was painted due to lighting on the tiger, and color correction was done to all to better integrate with the photographic backgrounds).
