It's an interesting distinction they make for "animal". We're animals, strictly speaking. For example, we enjoy making labels like "monkeys and apes", which we separate from "humans". But we're far closer genetically to apes than, say, baboons or monkeys. We are apes...just a specialized breed of them. Thinking in evolutionary terms, you don't have to go back terribly far to find our common ancestor.
So AM should be able to pull from literally anyone in the DCU. He doesn't, of course, but that's strictly for balancing reasons (and quite likely his creator's lack of scientific knowledge)
