Combine this with GET_STRING_FROM_HASH_KEY to display localized entity names

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = GetPedAnimalType(ped)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0x964000D355219FC0, ped, Citizen.ResultAsInteger())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = GetPedAnimalType(ped);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0x964000D355219FC0', ped, Citizen.returnResultAnyway(), Citizen.resultAsInteger());
```

### C#

```csharp
int retval = Function.Call<int>((Hash)0x964000D355219FC0, ped);
```

- The name is a community guess and may change. If the named call is missing in your client build, use `InvokeNative` with the hash — it always works.
