If, during adding the first animal of two, part of the stack falls - do you take two animals then try and add the second animal (and if this knocks the remaining stack again you then have to take another two animals)?
Yes you take two animals but for me at least I lose that turn and play then continues with the next person. Since you were not able to place your animals that is the penalty you are adding more to your pile.
But don't worry you may still have a chance of winning if you roll the die and it say to pass two animals to some one then you have a few good ones to choose from, odd shaped ones.
Your turn ends as soon as the stack falls, so you don't get to try to add that second animal even if you rolled a 2.
The rules state:

pyramid collapses = stacking ends Collapse of the animal pyramid! Have animals tumbled down during stacking? Or does the whole pyramid collapse? The stacking ends immediately.
