Line 2:
Ever notice in fictional works aimed at children, [[Amplified Animal Aptitude|animals tend to have much more (or at least a little more) intelligence than they should]]?
'''Largely-Normal Animals (LNAs)''' clearly have thought processes and often [[Intellectual Animal|human-level intelligence]] but don't talk freely with humans. These animal characters may talk to each other, essentially [[Animal Talk|having their own language]], but humans won't understand them. That is, unless they [[Speaks Fluent Animal|can talk to animals]] or if the language is able to be learned. Their thought processes and personality is still very much like that of whatever animal they are. Many of them are able to make human-like arm and hand gestures and some can even grasp objects as if they have opposable thumbs. A few examples are bipedal even if their species isn't naturally so, but the majority of them stay on four legs if they are a four-legged animal in [[Real Life]]. A few LNAs can sometimes act like the more anthropomorphic [[Civilized Animal]] or [[Funny Animal]] when required by a joke.
Line 14:
This is the low end of the [[Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism]]. The next step up is [[Partially-Civilized Animal]].
Related to [[Amplified Animal Aptitude]]. [LNAs] are often but not always [[Intellectual Animal
See [[Speech-Impaired Animal]] and [[Talking Animal]] for [LNAs] that can talk freely with humans.
