You mean as animals, instead of humans with animal features? I don’t know what specifically you’re talking about, but usually it springs from a desire to play with traits the animals are assumed to have. The less they’re playing at being a human with fur or echolocation or whatever, the more it’s about a desire to disconnect from human responsibilities and worries.
Some people who have been abused in a way that resembles how humans treat animals (assumption of stupidity, obedience required with the assumption you’re incapable of understanding why you need to do things, etc) will play at it when they’re free of it as a way to process the shitty way they were treated in a way they can control.
But it mostly seems to stem from a desire to not think about human concerns for a while, and just exist in your body as we assume animals do.
