* In ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]'', there's Sheldon's [[Dogged Nice Guy]] crush on [[Robot Girl]] Jenny Wakeman. {{spoiler|[[Word of God]] says that if the show hadn't been cancelled, they would have actually become an [[Official Couple]].}}

** From the same season, "Sea Change" paired the Autobot Seaspray with an alien humanoid woman whose people guarded a magical spring that let any living thing that entered it [[Power Perversion Potential|assume any shape it wanted to]].

** The Transformers wiki [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Robot-fleshling_romance has a list.] It comes up more often that it, strictly speaking, should. Unless, of course, there's a writer with a fetish.

* So far ''[[Ben 10]]'' has seen a marriage between a cousin of Ben's and a sludge-like shapeshifting alien, and a visit from Grandpa Max's [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]] from his days with [[The Men in Black]], in addition to obvious romantic attraction between a mostly humanoid four-armed alien and a floating tentacled brain.

** The sequel series ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' is built on the premise of multiple [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half Human Hybrids]] whose parents are all aliens who fell in love with humans and went native.

* Brian (an anthropomorphic dog) of ''[[Family Guy]]'' has had a few human girlfriends, and has even had sex with some of them. This is portrayed as [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|perfectly normal]] in the show's universe.

** So normal in fact, that Brian acts ashamed when he is attracted to other (non-anthropomorphic) ''dogs''.

** In another episode, his gay cousin Jasper is poised to marry his human partner. The entire episode is a commentary on the legality (or lack thereof) of same-sex marriage; the fact that one is an animal is not even brought up. It isn't odd if you take into account that, in an earlier episode of the same season, it's revealed that Brian married Lois when they thought that Peter died in the sea.

** On a side note, Brian had a child with a human woman in a season 6 episode.

** Brain's recurring love interest, Billie, is also courted by a hamster named Snowball.

** Pinky also once fell in love with a pig on in the only half-hour ''Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain'' episode.

* This has happened in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' with a [[Evil Prince|ghost prince]] desiring a human bride, though most of any ghost/human romance is between several human girls and the main character who's a ghostly [[Half-Human Hybrid]]. Everybody likes to ignore the idea that the majority of them are ''undead''. The main character is is only ''half'' undead, however the hell that works. One quarter dead?

** [[Evil Albino|Freakshow]] and his henchwoman Lydia also deserve a mention.

** [[Word of God]] has said that ghosts are a species of their own, rather than all being people who have died. Though at least some of them are.

* The next-to-ur example: Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar in Disney cartoons and comics. Early on, the two are romantic to the point of being engaged (comics, 1932). Later, they're back to being a dating couple, with Clarabelle occasionally seeing Goofy as well ? in one recent comic book story ("With Friends Like These," 2006), clearly doing so to make Horace jealous, though innocent Goofy misreads the situation as platonic and doesn't realize how his friend is using him.

** There are also many relationships between ducks and frex geese. Closer than most of the other examples on this page, but still different species.

** There are geese within the McDuck family tree as well. Donald's cousin [[Born Lucky|Gladstone Gander]] for instance is the son of a goose and a duck.

** At the end of the episode, Homer gets turned into a Walrus and is shown massaging Marge with his tusk... Yes.

** In a more recent episode featuring a beached whale, the episode ends with Homer saying the whale will get a hot new octopus wife, and that he hears "there's a whalapus on the way!" Marge suggests drawing this. Three guesses what the background images for the credits are.

* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|Eva]], the human heroine of ''[[Oban Star Racers]]'', gets a crush on the [[Heroes Want Redheads|handsome]] alien [[Knight in Shining Armor|prince]] [[The Rival|Aikka]]. By the end of the series, {{spoiler|it's [[Official Couple|puppy love]].}}

* [[The Backyardigans]]: Pratically all pairings, considered they're all of different species. Bonus points go to any pairing with Uniqua, who we don't even ''know'' the species of.

{{quote|'''The Flash''': Internet Romances huh? Go figure.}}

** Supergirl(Kryptonian) and [[Legion of Super-Heroes|Brainiac 5]](Coluan). {{spoiler|She opted to remain in the future in part because she fell for him.}}

* ''[[Little Bear]]'''s friendship with Emily, a ''human'', is oddly romantic like, even for children (um, and [[Furry Confusion|cubs]]) their age.

** Emily's birthday episode seems to be full of innocent romantic subtext between the two. Emily doesn't even say they will stay together forever as ''friends''. She just states [[Childhood Marriage Promise|together forever]].

** Cosmo frequently shows attraction to humans and, in one episode, an alien.

** In one episode, Foop (an anti-fairy) develops a crush on Vicky (a human).

* Several dream sequences featured in ''[[Arthur]]'' that take place in the future has Arthur Read (an aardvark) marrying Francine Frensky (a monkey).

* Gumball (a cat) and Penny (a sentinent coconut with antlers) from ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]''.

* [[Betty Boop]] is good friends with anthropomorphised dog Bimbo, who clearly has a crush on her. Curiously, she started out as a dog too, but soon became a human.

* In ''[[Krypto the Superdog (animation)|Krypto the Superdog]]'', [[Batman|Bathound]] and [[Catwoman]]'s cat Isis have a [[Dating Catwoman|relationship similar to that of their respective owners]].

** Also invoked in one episode, when Jake demands a romantic story, Finn orders a duck and a fox to kiss.

* Creepie from ''[[Growing Up Creepie]]'' fell in love with Skipper because she believed (like his stage act at the circus) he was part human part spider. She looses most of her feelings for him when she discovers the truth.

* Draculaura the vampire and Clawd the werewolf of ''[[Monster High]]''.
