Animals, types of species
One source has "nudibranch" for this although I am not sure whether this is correct or not. Can it be either "small/low/inferior animals"?
Suggested translations in other languages are:
Petits animaux (French)
Animali inferiori (Italian)
Animais inferiores (Portuguese)
Animales inferiores (Animales inferiores)
Has anyone got any suggestions/opinions about this?

lesser animals
If you mean "small animals", then this is the translation.
P.S.: "nudibranch" is an order of Gasteropoda! They are a kind of submarine slugs, but more beautiful...

The nudibranch is a lower animal, but that does not mean that all lower animals are nudibranches!

inferior species or races of animals
http://www.eiu.edu/~historia/1997/darwin97.htm
Darwin speakes about inferior and superior species or races of animals.
So I think inferior animals is correct if this is meant in the context.
