I suspect it's the dance you're having to do. Quickly testing in a
browser, If you use
xmlObjectTree = $(data)
then you can iterate through the animal tags.
Doing the dance in a browser yields an unrecognized expression syntax
exception. How did you come to use $($(data).text()); and what happens
if you use the other method?
