Line 124:
* The future aquatic apes (Mer) from ''[[Primeval]]''.
* This trope is played with in the first season of ''[[Farscape]]'', where a Yenen named Staanz (played by a male actor) turns out to be an attractive ''female'' of the species.
* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "Beer Bad", a group of male frat boys - and Buffy - drink cursed beer that causes them to "de-evolve" physically, mentally, and psychologically into Neanderthals. The males undergo a drastic physical change, becoming brutish and bestial with crooked teeth, heavy brow ridges, and plenty of extra hair, their intelligence only barely better than an animals'. Buffy, however, still looks mostly human and attractive, a [[Nubile Savage]] type, and can still talk, albeit in [[Hulk Speak]]. Possibly justified in that Xander took her home earlier than the others and they thus drank far more of it.

Line 135:
'''Kira:''' Of course not. You're a boy. }}
* Planet Koozbane from ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' showed a "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|mating ritual]]" of the Koozbanian creatures and they looked nothing alike.
* Played with by Ronn Lucas. His main puppet, Scorch the dragon, learned from a book that he was missing a certain anatomical feature and must, therefore, be female. {{spoiler|He was holding the book upside down and did, in fact, have the horn shown.}}

Line 229:
* In ''[[Treasure Planet]]'' the dog-man alien scientist Doppler winds up a couple with the cat-woman captain Amelia. Fair enough, just one of those soft sci-fi things. However, their children turn up in the epilogue—a litter of kitten-girls and puppy-boys. This could, of course, be [[Gender Equals Breed]], but this trope is also a possible explanation.
* Zane and Zair from ''Redakai'' are a minor example. Despite being siblings (therefore [[Gender Equals Breed|most likely]] the same species), Zane has [[Little Green Men|green skin]], [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|blue hair]], and darkened eyelids—while his sister Zair has light red skin, dark red hair, [[Animal Eyes|catlike eyes]], and a [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|strangely familiar]] patch of bumps on her forehead.
* In ''[[Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats]]'', the male [[Funny Animal]] characters are of the [[Civilized Animal]] type. Riff-Raff's girlfriend Cleo, however, seems to be a step higher on the scale, looking more like the [[Petting Zoo People]] type.
