This would be correct, you need to use FB after the JS SDK is initialized. That being said, you definitely don´t want to call FB.api in an infinite loop, so i removed that part:
<script> function init() { FB.api( '/l214.animaux', {"fields":"fan_count"}, function(response) { alert(response.fan_count); } ); } window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({ appId : 'your-app-id', xfbml : true, version : 'v2.5' }); init(); }; (function(d, s, id){ var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); </script>
Make sure you run this from an actual server, don´t just open your HTML files in a browser without at least a local server.
