Just about any program that allows modeling will allow you to make an animal. Try the programs in the header or try WINGS, Silo, Blender, or any of the other popular modeling packages. A popular mis-understanding of 3D that much of the public shares is that there's a program that does everything. No program makes a character for you (even Creature creator requires input from the user). So, if you've been looking on line for the "model an animal program" you'll be out of luck. It's something lots of folks look for when they first want to get into 3D, sadly it's just not that easy. :) However, there are lots of tutorials on modeling creatures available on the net and many of the techniques in them can be carried over from one program to the next. So, the first thing you should do is try out a few programs and decide which interface you like the most. Then, hunt down tutorials for creature creation within that program. Hope this helps.
