Simplifying assignment calls in javascript object

Is there a smarter way to write this this javasript? I feed in a parameter called “animalType” that changes depending on the new animal brought it. Would it be possible to destructure the object but save the changes?

  animalDiscoveryList[animalType].points += currAnimal.points
  animalDiscoveryList[animalType].owned += currAnimal.owned
  .....
  animalDiscoveryList[animalType].foodTypes =  animalDiscoveryList[selectedFilterType].foodTypes.append(currAnimal.id)
