No, the point of the factory pattern is to create an object that implements a particular interface (IAnimal) without knowing the class of the object. You can take a look at an example here.

Thank you for pointing this. I'm a Unity developer and in Unity we cannot use constructors at all (it breaks the engine). Plus, interfaces are sometimes anti-pattern (if not most of the time). This sometimes create confusion.
