I think it depends upon your project. E.g. how far do you plan to take this - would you call it an AnimalCheetah or a Cheetah? If the latter, I would err on the side of "LandAnimal". Also, if your project is 100% about animals I would probably prefer "LandAnimal" too - otherwise you're likely to end up with a bunch of classes starting with AnimalXYZ and all you're doing is adding noise to your project when everything in it starts with Animal.
