In English "who" can be used for any living and conscious creature. No matter whether human or not.
You can also use "which", both will be understood.
However, "who" makes them more relatable to people and builds an emotional bond by recognizing them as living things, just like us.

I would have written “which” and I believe “who” referring to animals is not correct (at least that’s what I was taught in English class).
