How do I use async/await functions in actions?

actions.js

import axios from 'axios';
import {ACTION_TYPES, URL} from '../constants';

export const getAnimals = () => {
    //code for use below async function to get the data and use it as payload    
    return {
        type: ACTION_TYPES.GET_ANIMALS,
        payload: {}
    }
}

const getAnimalsAsync = async () => await axios.get(URL.GET_ANIMAL_LIST);

Update:

export const getAnimals = () => {    
    return async (dispatch) => {
        const {data} = await axios.get(URL.GET_ANIMAL_LIST);
        dispatch({
            type: ACTION_TYPES.GET_ANIMALS,
            payload: data
        })
    }
}
