During the 1990s and 2000s, several groups have called themselves the Animals in part:
*In the 1990s, Danny McCulloch, from the later-1960s Animals, released several albums as the Animals.<ref>{{cite web |title=In Memoriam: Danny McCulloch – No Treble |url=https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/02/17/in-memoriam-danny-mcculloch/ |website=No Treble |date=17 February 2015 |access-date=4 October 2018}}</ref> The albums contained covers of some original Animals songs, as well as new ones written by McCulloch.
*In 1992, Barry Jenkins joined a reconstituted version of The Animals, including "New Animals" members Vic Briggs and Danny McCulloch along with new percussionist Jack McCulloch and [[Phil Ryan (entrepreneur)|Phil Ryan]] instead of Eric Burdon on lead vocals. The band played the first rock concert held in Red Square, Moscow, as part of a benefit concert for the victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.antionmusic.com/articlesaboutantion/sandiegounion.html | title=Antion }}</ref>
*The band then morphed into Animals and Friends, with Peter Barton on vocals, Rodford, and John E. Williamson on guitar. When Rowberry died in 2003, he was replaced by Mick Gallagher (who had briefly replaced Price in 1965). Danny Handley joined the band in 2009, initially as lead guitarist, but replaced Barton on lead vocals when Barton retired in 2012. This successful lineup continues to tour the world with guests such as [[Steve Cropper]] and [[Spencer Davis]].
*Burdon formed a new backing band in 1998 that was billed as Eric Burdon and the New Animals. This was actually just a renaming of an existing band with whom he had been touring in various forms since 1990. Members of this new group included Dean Restum, [[Dave Meros]], [[Neal Morse]] and [[Aynsley Dunbar]]. [[Martin Gerschwitz]] replaced Morse in 1999 after [[Ryo Okumoto]]'s brief three-week stint, and Dunbar was replaced by [[Bernie Pershey]] in 2001. In 2003, the band started touring as Eric Burdon and the Animals. After the lineup changed in 2006, original guitarist Valentine joined the group for its 2007 and 2008 tours. The group also included [[Red Young]], Paula O'Rourke and Tony Braunagle. After Burdon lost the rights to the name, he formed a new band with different musicians.
*In 2016, Burdon formed the current lineup of the Animals, including Johnzo West (guitar/vocals), Davey Allen (keys/vocals), Dustin Koester (drums/vocals), Justin Andres (bass guitar/vocals), Ruben Salinas (sax/flute) and Evan Mackey (trombone).<ref>{{cite web|title=Eric Burdon|url=http://www.ericburdon.com/#!band-1/n26of|website=Ericburdon.com|access-date=19 October 2019}}</ref> The band performed at the Fool In Love Festival amongst other legendary performers in Los Angeles, CA on 31 August 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fool in Love Festival {{!}} Los Angeles, CA {{!}} August 31, 2024 |url=https://www.foolinlove.com/ |access-date=2024-08-27 |website=www.foolinlove.com |language=en}}</ref>
