The Lion and the Rabbit

A cruel lion lived in the forest. Every day, he killed and ate a lot of animals. The other animals were afraid the lion would kill them all.
(I have learned the other + singular noun. Why the other + animals (animals is plural noun). Thank you!
The animals told the lion, “Let’s make a deal. If you promise to eat only one animal each day, then one of us will come to you every day. Then you don’t have to hunt and kill us.”

If you use the other animal, that means there is only one other animal. Other animals means more than just one animal.
