How to convert List<Object> into String.

Hi Trailblazers,
I have List<Object> and I would like to print the value as a String.

I tried something like this but not succeed:
List<Object> animals;
string resultAnimalName = string.valueOf(animals.get('name'));//this line is giving error
System.debug(resultAnimalName);

can you correct me if I had done anything wrong?
Thanks,
Parag Devghare
