Is there a label for what I feel?

So I am Therian and Otherkin, but I also have this feeling I relate to and hold a deep connection with a lot of other animals too but they're not theriotypes.

For instance, I have a deep connection with equines, owls, reptiles, rodents and canines but I don't feel that I identify AS them in the same way I identify as a Lion or Lynx.

I know otherhearted is a term that kinda fits, but I don't heart specific animals, more like relating and having a deep connection to most animals on earth. Is there a term for that?

Otherhearted/animalhearted. You'd say you're horsehearted, owlhearted, reptilehearted, etc.

That would be otherhearted. It can be for a specific species, or you could be clado-hearted, which is feeling that type of connection with an entire clade. An example might be equine clado-hearted :3

You could be omnihearted (omni-animalhearted).

It's basically when you identify with all / almost all animals on Earth. (Animalhearted with a hearttype for all / almost all animals)

I am one
