Morphology
The meaning 'specialist in the scientific study of animals' is directly compositional from 'animal' + 'scientist' and can be inferred by a B1 learner who knows both words. Noun–noun compounds expressing a specialization (scientist of X) are a regular, cross-linguistic pattern, so the phrase is immediately understandable from its parts.
Etymology
Animal scientist is a simple compound of animal and scientist. Imagine a researcher in a field or a lab watching animals, taking notes and doing tests, and that's why the term means 'an expert who studies animals, their bodies, behavior and how to care for them'.
