There is NO "inline" parsing within parameters in TiddlyWiki. You CAN use
a macro or transclusion as the entire value of a widget parameter (i.e.,
foo={{!!somefield}} or foo=<>), but you can't just embed a
widget or macro call *inside* a parameter value and have it automatically
expanded in place. That is the job of a TW *macro* definition: to assemble
wiki syntax from parts and pieces.
To achieve your goal, you need to write a macro that outputs a complete,
valid <> macro to be parsed as wikitext. Something like this:
\define animalTabs(what)
<>
\end
<$macrocall $name="animalTabs" what={{!!animal-type}} />

I think I got it now. I put the tab macro in the makeTab macro call:
\define makeTab(animal) <>
Thanks for your help again Eric.

Thanks Eric. That macro works fine outside of a tab macro, but breaks down
when put in a tab like this:
<
[[tabListAnimals]] [[Animal FAQ]]" "viewAnimalDetails" "$:/state/tab">>
Assuming it's a macro call within macro call issue of some type. I saw this
thread but is for TWC and not sure if there's a simpler solution in TW5?

macros.
In TW5, when you want to assemble wiki syntax from bits and pieces, you
write a macro and then pass the various bits to it as parameters.
Something like this:
\define makelink(what) [[About $what$ species]]
<$macrocall $name="makelink" what={{!!animal-type}} />
There's lots more you can do with macros (and variables). Check the
"references" section on TiddlyWiki.com for the basics.
