? Not in the engine, no. They're laid out on spritesheets (so you open a .png and see all frames laid out like you would any other spritesheet).

Trust me, nobody uses an animated gif in a game.

I highly doubt you could even USE a GIF file for animations...
But yeah like everyone has said, all 2D games with animations use either sprite sheet, or just make another image for each part of the animation.
GIF files are for the web really...
