If there was a life form on another planet that was on a different evolutionary line from all life on Earth meaning that its earliest ancestors originated from a separate abio genesis event than life on Earth but that had independently evolved many of the traits that are on Earth seen in animal life, for instance it would have a brain and a nervous system, some eyes, a heart and blood stream, a mouth and digestive system, and some organs such as fins or legs that it would use for locomotion would it be classified as an animal?

No it would not because all formal taxa must be monophyletic, i.e. share a recent common ancestor. To place this life form in Kingdom Animalia would create a polyphyletic taxon, since animals on earth share a common ancestor with plants and even bacteria, but the alien life form (no matter how closely it resembles animals), does not share a common ancestor with any life form on earth at all. You can still refer to it as animal-like, or even "animal" informally but it can never be part of Kingdom Animalia.

I would say no because its not fully an animal its also has human legs n other organs like us n animals wat if they spoke our languge n understood it also . Thats just my thought on ur question its tricky but if u read between the linesmeaning people who read dis question will answer wat they may feel is the answer.
