Line 7:
{{examples}}
== Anime And Manga ==
* In ''[[Transformers Victory]]'', Star Saber, the new leader of the Autobots, adopts a human boy named Jan, who lost his parents to a Decepticon attack.
* In ''[[You Are Umasou]]'', a Maiasaura raises a Tyrannosaurus from birth, who in turn, after running away from home, adopts a baby Ankylosaurus after being mistaken for its father.
== Comics ==
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Hellboy (comics)|Hellboy]] is a demon who was adopted by a human parent named Dr. Bruttenholm and raised under the watch of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. He was raised to appreciate humanity, even if he constantly has to deal with the fact that he's frighteningly different from them anyway.
* [[Superman]] is probably the most famous example of this trope. He's an alien sent to Earth as a baby, and he grew up on a farm by the Kent family.
* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'': four adorable baby turtles fall into a sewer and are adopted by an ordinary rat (other than the whole "[[Taught by Television|knows ninjutsu]]" thing). Only later do the five mutate and become intelligent.
== Fan Works ==
* ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' has Chad Collier, a [[Catfolk|Kilrathi]] raised by humans.
== Film ==
Line 59 ⟶ 64:
* Lindesfarne in ''[[Kevin and Kell]]''.
* The trolls in ''[[Homestuck]]''. It's societal norm for them to be raised by another species. However, these guardians may or may not be totally sentient, and not all of them are good parents, so it also delves a bit into [[Raised by Wolves]].
* ''[[Selkie]]'' is about an amphibious young girl, and the man who adopts her.
* Buwaro, Sakido and Iratu, all demons, are adopted by the angel Darius in ''[[Slightly Damned]]''.
== Web Original ==
* Quite a few characters from ''[[Cerberus Daily News]]''. Thus includes (but is not limited to) a Turian who was adopted by a human couple (Gahars Patnus), a human who was adopted by an Asari couple (Some_Random_Merc/Johnny), a Drell who has recently adopted a human infant (Rohim), a human whose legal guardian and father-figure is a Turian (Wildflower/Flower and Davril, respectively), and a human who was raised by a Quarian (Human Quarian/Kolya).
== Western Animation ==
Line 71 ⟶ 76:
* [[SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob]] and Patrick adopted a baby scallop in one episode. It left other citizens quite confused when they thought about the biology involved.
* ''[[Dinosaur Train]]'': Buddy the T-Rex is adopted by a pteranodon family.
* ''[[CatDog]]'' continually brought up one particular issue over the course of the series: Where did CatDog actually come from? For as long as they can remember, they'd always lived on their own. The series ended with CatDog going on a long journey to find their parents. It was never revealed ''how'' CatDog came to be, but for a brief time after they were born, they had been raised by a frog for a father and a sasquatch for a mother. They were all separated in a storm.
* Darwin from ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' used to just be the Waterson family's pet fish, but he developed intelligence, grew legs, became Gumball's best friend, and the family adopted him as one of their own.
* In ''[[My Little Pony:
* ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'' probably topped this concept beyond most other examples by having a human girl being adopted by two robots.
== Real Life ==
* [[Real Life]] examples involving animals like dogs, cats, and rabbits are a mainstay of websites like ''Cute Overload''.
* One of the strangest incidents of this kind occurred in Samburu, Kenya: [http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/feb/17/jamesastill.theobserver a lioness adopted an oryx.]
