Animal nouns are French words that name animals, such as pets, farm animals, and wild animals. In KS3 French, you learn each noun with an article to help you remember its gender.

How do I know if an animal is masculine or feminine in French?

The most reliable way is to learn the noun with its article, such as “un” or “une”. Some endings give clues, but many nouns must simply be memorised or checked in a dictionary.
