* In the ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' episode "[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)/Bitter Work/Recap|Bitter Work]]", Sokka finds a baby saber-toothed moose-lion cub, and inevitably it's mama is near, and has to be fought off by Aang.

* In one of the [[Adventures in Odyssey]] videos, Dylan, Jessie, and Carter find a bear cub in the mountains and start fawning over it...only for the growling [[Mama Bear|mother grizzly]] to charge them.

* In [[The Land Before Time]]-2, the gang of Dinosaur kids finds an egg and, at first thinking it to be an egg from one of their parent's nests, carry the thing home. It turns out to be a Sharptooth(or T-Rex) egg, and the group starts trying to raise 'Chomper' - needless to say, {{spoiler|the parents come looking for him.}} Slightly subverted in this case, as the {{spoiler|Mama and Daddy actually end up helping the main characters, before taking their baby home.}} This arguably has some [[Unfortunate Implications]] about the [[Warped Aesop|Aesop]] in this story, as the moral seems to be 'Try as you might to get along, some people are just too different.'
