[jQuery] $.getJSON - global scope

[jQuery] $.getJSON - global scope

Hi,
Just wondering whether it's possible to get the $.getJSON -generated
object into local scope? Something along the lines of this:
$(document).ready(function(){
    createObject();
    appendObject();
});
function createObject(){
    $.getJSON('animal.js',function(json){
        animal = json;
    });
}
function appendObject(){
    $("body").append(animal.type);
}
-------------8<---------------8<-----------------------
my json: { "type" : "cat" }
-------------8<---------------8<-----------------------
Thanks!
