How do I remove duplicates from a structure array?

Suppose I create the following structure:
animals(1).name='Northern Mockingbird';
animals(1).class='Bird';
animals(2).name='Cheetah';
animals(2).class='mammal';
animals(3).name='Wolf';
animals(3).class='mammal';
animals(4).name='Eagle';
animals(4).class='Bird';
animals(5).name='Turtle';
animals(5).class='Reptile';
animals(6).name='Bee';
animals(6).class='Insect';
animals(7).name='Chameleon';
animals(7).class='Reptile';
animals(8).name='Barn Spider';
animals(8).class='Arachnid';
animals(9).name='Ant';
animals(9).class='Insect';
animals(10).name='Northern Cardinal';
animals(10).class='Bird';
Then I set animals(11) equal to animals(4), then I sort the whole thing through a littany of conversions/reshapings, the sortrows command and another littany of conversions/reshapings.
Is there some way to remove the duplicate entries from that array of structures?

a= {animals.name}
b= {animals.class}
c=cellfun(@(x,y) [x y],a', b','un',0)
[ii,ii]=unique(c,'stable')
animals=animals(ii)

%or
[ii,ii]=unique({animals.name},'stable')
animals=animals(ii)
Because if the name is the same, the class should be the same.

It's not pretty, but this should work:
isUnique = true(size(animals));
for ii = 1:length(animals)-1
for jj = ii+1:length(animals)
if isequal(animals(ii),animals(jj))
isUnique(ii) = false;
break;
end
end
end
animals(~isUnique) = [];
