Perché è masculine?

Animal is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "animālis," the gender retention is better explained by noting that in Portuguese third-declension Latin nouns ending in -al typically became masculine nouns. The word functions as both a noun and adjective in Portuguese (e.g., "um animal feroz" - a fierce animal), and follows the standard pattern of -al ending nouns being masculine in Portuguese.
