In what way did it "not work"? Be specific.

Code:
$ ( cat file1 ; tail -n +2 file2 )
name place animal thing
xxx yyy www ttt
vvv ssss ssss ssss

$ ( cat file1 ; tail -n +2 file2 ) > file3
$ cat file3
name place animal thing
xxx yyy www ttt
vvv ssss ssss ssss

$

Another way to do it:

Code:
$ ( cat file1 ; exec 0<file2 ; read HEADER ; cat )
name place animal thing
xxx yyy www ttt
vvv ssss ssss ssss

$ ( cat file1 ; exec 0<file2 ; read HEADER ; cat ) > file3
$ cat file3
name place animal thing
xxx yyy www ttt
vvv ssss ssss ssss
