In some works where some animals or types of animals take the place of people and others are considered normal animals, there are both normal forms and human surrogate forms of one or more animal species.
Can involve [[Partially-Civilized Animal|Partially Civilized Animals]], [[Civilized Animal|Civilized Animals]]s, [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]]s, and/or [[Petting Zoo People]].
May result in [[Furry Confusion]].
{{examples}}
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Petting Zoo Person]] example: ''[[Maus (Comic Book)|Maus]]''.
* [[Petting Zoo Person]] example: ''[[Omaha the Cat Dancer (Comic Book)|Omaha the Cat Dancer]]''.
* The [[Mickey Mouse Comic Universe]] and many of the comics in the [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe]].
* The world of ''[[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew (Comic Book)|Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]''
* Duckworld, where [[Howard the Duck (Comic Bookcomics)|Howard the Duck]] comes from.
* ''[[Fritz the Cat (Comic Bookcomics)|Fritz the Cat]]'' and its [[Fritz the Cat (Animationanimation)|film]] [[The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (Animation)|adaptations]].
* ''[[Horndog]]''.
* ''[[Blacksad (Comic Book)|Blacksad]]''.
* ''[[Grandville (Comic Book)|Grandville]]'', with a minor (servant) population of humans
* ''[[Usagi Yojimbo]]'', which takes place in Japan where every single animal except horses and lizards are anthropomorphosized. [[Big Bad|Lord Hikiji]] on the other hand...
== Film ==
* Disney's ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]'' plays it straight with most of the characters except Sir Hiss. Then again, when you have a character with no limbs, you can't ignore the fact that he's a snake. It also managed to avoid having regular animals coexist with the anthropomorphic animals, particularly at the end of the film, where they actually [[The Un-Reveal|don't even show who or what was pulling the carriage during the finale!]]
** Sir Hiss is still differentiated from a non-anthro animal. Anthropomorphic snakes are frequently depicted as slithering on their bottom half, while their head and some of their neck is constantly elevated. It's the closest to walking on two legs you can really pull off with a snake, so almost any anthropomorphized snake will move this way, while real snakes usually keep their head low to the ground while moving and put it up only briefly to analyze the surroundings or make a threat gesture.
* ''[[Chicken Little (Disney)|Chicken Little]]'' (Disney)
* ''[[Kung Fu Panda (Animation)|Kung Fu Panda]]''
* [[Partially-Civilized Animal]] example: ''The [[Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of ga Ga'Hoole]]'' may be a example of this trope because there's talk that suggests that humans used to exist, but are gone. In the book and movie, owls do metalwork in forges, drink tea, and write and read books, but they basically look like normal owls and don't even have [[Feather Fingers]].
** The film somewhat averts this as other than some comic relief, it is a very dramatic film.
* Rare non-animal example: ''[[Cars (Animation)|Cars]]'', where all of the inhabitants are talking vehicles.
* The storybook world from ''[[Rock -a -Doodle]]''.
* ''[[The Lion King]]'', even though everyone except Timon (and the other meerkats) and Zazu is a quadruped and is completely naked.
** But how come they showed [[Big Bad|Scar's]] fur being sent all the way to [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|ancient Greece]] somewhere after the first film?
* All of the ''[[Ice Age (Animation)|Ice Age]]'' films except for the first one.
* ''[[Arashi no Yoru Nini]]''
* ''[[SurfsSurf's Up]]''
* ''[[Zootopia]]''
== Literature ==
* ''[[The Berenstain Bears]]'' books and TV show.
* The ''Sweet Pickles'' book series combines this with [[Alphabetical Theme Naming]].
* The ''[[Geronimo Stilton (Literature)|Geronimo Stilton]]'' books and their [[Animated Adaptation]].
== [[Tabletop RP Gs]] ==
* ''[[Ironclaw (Tabletop Game)|Ironclaw]]'' and ''[[Jadeclaw]]''.
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]''
* ''[[Star Fox (Video Gameseries)|Star FoxFOX]]''
* ''[[Sly Cooper]]''
* ''[[Brutal Paws Of Fury]]'' is a fighting game with a cast of anthros.
* In ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' series, every NPC is a Funny Animal, and the players are Token Humans.
== Webcomics ==
* Lampshaded in ''[[Namir Deiter (Webcomic)|Namir Deiter]]'' when Tipper tries eating cat food because of her species but Snickers reminds Tipper that she has a human digestive tract.
* ''[[Lackadaisy (Webcomic)|Lackadaisy]]''
* ''[[Kit N Kay Boodle]]''
* ''[[Precocious (Webcomic)|Precocious]]''
* ''[[Ozy and Millie (Webcomic)|Ozy and Millie]]''
* ''[[Kevin and Kell (Webcomic)|Kevin and Kell]]''
* ''[[Wurr (Webcomic)|Wurr]]'': [[Xenofiction|No humans at all]]. All talking animals seem to fall within one of three species (or subspecies) of [[Civilized Animal|civilized—albeit still quadrupedal—dog]].
* Another [[Petting Zoo People]] example: ''[[Code Name: Hunter (Webcomic)|Code Name Hunter]]''
* ''[[Cucumber Quest (Webcomic)|Cucumber Quest]]'': [[Petting Zoo People]]--all—all rabbits, with the occasional cat.
* Popular enough to have their own [[Furry Webcomics|index]].
== Web Original ==
* ''[[Tasakeru (Literature)|Tasakeru]]''
* ''[[Neopets (Franchise)|Neopets]]'' has recently been changed into one of these, with the title pets serving as the stand-in for humans, so the Petpets serve as stand-ins for animals.
== Western Animation ==
* [[Petting Zoo Person]] example: ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]''. In fact, it is lampshaded when Arthur and his friends are watching a self-parody of the cartoon.
* Many of the [[Classic Disney Shorts]] featuring [[Mickey Mouse]], [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]].
* Several ''[[Disney Afternoon]]'' series:
** ''[[Duck TalesDuckTales (Animation1987)|Duck Tales]]'' and ''[[Darkwing Duck (Animationanimation)|Darkwing Duck]]''
** ''[[Tale Spin (Animation)|Tale Spin]]''
** ''[[Goof Troop]]'', ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'' and ''[[An Extremely Goofy Movie]]''
** The ''[[Quack Pack (Animation)|Quack Pack]]'' episode "All Hands on Duck", which revolved around Donald, Daisy, and thousands of [[Dogfaces]]. Otherwise, the series fell within the [[Lions and Tigers Andand Humans, Oh My!]] category.

* [[Civilized Animal]] example: ''[[Franklin (Literature)|Franklin]]''
* [[Justified]] in the ''[[Saturday Night Live (TV)|Saturday Night Live]]'' "Bear City" segments. A meteor crashed to earth, and the inhabitants of the town went underground in order to escape its effect. One of the unrealized effects was to make bears start acting like people (but they couldn't talk), taking the places of people in that society.
* ''[[Babar The Adventures Of Badou]]''
** [[Babar the Elephant]] is a curious example, as it begins with normal animals who then learn to walk and talk like humans.
* ''[[Olivia (Animationanimation)|Olivia]]''
* ''[[The Bremen Avenue Experience (Animation)|The Bremen Avenue Experience]]''
* ''[[Almost Naked Animals (Animation)|Almost Naked Animals]]''
* The main setting of ''[[Spliced (Animation)|Spliced]]'', Keep Away Island, is this, but humans are presumed to exist in the rest of the world, as most of the characters were created by one.
* Rare plant example: ''[[Veggie Tales (Animation)|Veggie Tales]]'', where all of the characters are either talking fruit or vegetables.
** Another fruit example: ''[[Coconut FredsFred's Fruit Salad Island (Animation)|Coconut Freds Fruit Salad Island]]''.
* ''[[Rocko's Modern Life (Animation)|Rocko's Modern Life]]'', and from the same creator, ''[[Camp Lazlo (Animation)|Camp Lazlo]]''.
* ''[[Word World (Animation)|Word World]]'', where all of the inhabitants are animals shaped like their names.
* ''[[Super Secret Secret Squirrel]]''
* ''[[Swat Kats (Animation)|Swat Kats]]''
* [[Played for Drama]] with [[Petting Zoo People]] in ''[[Thundercats 2011 (Western Animation)|Thundercats 2011]]'' In the words of the Cats' King Claudus, Third Earth is "...a world of ''warring'' animals" and his [[The Empire|empire]] of Thundera is both the [[Master Race|great civilizer]] and the only species strong enough to keep the peace, through [[Animal Jingoism]] crossed with [[Fantastic Racism]]. (His rivals the Lizards have different ideas.) Apart from a small enclave of [[Lilliputians|Lilliputian]] [[Plant People]], Third Earth is presented matter-of-factly as being this, until protagonist Lion-O's arrival in the series' first real [[Adventure Town]] introduces us to droves and droves of, not ''humans'' but ''[[Humanoid Aliens|aliens]]''...[[Lions and Tigers Andand Humans, Oh My!|oh my]]!
