Easiest way would be to add another table 'animal_images' and add the animal's id as FK when you store a picture for that animal. This way, you can add as many images as you like.

Hope it helps,

Or there is away to integrate both forms?

Yes, you'll have 2 forms in builder but, with custom coding you could use Ajax to display/submit your new images and js to dynamically add an "add" & "remove" button after each one.

It's been discussed here before, try searching "multiple forms" and "save multiple tables" to get started and also "Ajaxify". That should get you started...

Good luck,
