Urban Jungle is a Webcomic started in 2008 by cartoonist David Wilborn. The comic follows the life of Zack, the only human being in an office full of animals; his pet pug Gus; his adopted brother Chuck, who is a sheep; his best friend and coworker Phil, who is a duck; as well as a cast of animal coworkers. It features mostly Office and Geek humor.

Tropes used in Urban Jungle include:

• Art Evolution: Compare Zack and Les in the first comic with a more recent one ^{[dead link]}.
• Complaining About Things You Haven't Paid For: Zack chastises Gus for complaining about changes in Facebook.
• Con Man: The neighborhood raccoons are always trying to trick Zack out of money (though never effectively).
• Dress Code: Parodied in this comic.
• Furry Reminder: Zack's coworkers occasionally show their animal sides, for example when Les "fires" Joe Hamster by eating him.
• Four-Fingered Hands: lampshaded here
• Hipsters: Featured in several comics, where it is debated if they are cooler than Nerds.
• Local Hangout: Zack and Phil are often seen hanging out at the local coffee shop, "The Buzzed Bean."
• Pointy-Haired Boss: Les, Zack's snake boss, can exhibit this, though he is often more of a Mean Boss.
• Raised by Wolves: Zack's adopted parents are wolves; this is really a parody of this trope.
• Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism: Most of the characters are Funny Animals, although a few like Zack's dog Gus and the neighborhood raccoons are Talking Animals.
• Take That: There are several strips making fun of CSI and CSI: Miami.
• Tastes Like Purple: Two much MSG can having you smelling blue apparently
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics/ Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal/ Leaning on the Fourth Wall: All in one strip here ^{[dead link]}
• Token Human: Zack is the only human featured in the comic.
