I believe the word you were seeking is "zoomorphic".
"Anthropomorphic" means "ascribing of human personality, appearance, conduct, cognition, or other attributes to non-human entities, often including non-human animals." Mikey Mouse, for instance, would be considered "anthropomorphic". This is just an animal design.
