* In ''Harry's Mad'' by [[Dick King-Smith]], after Mad is bird-napped, Harry's family adopts another African grey parrot to replace him, which they name "Fweddy" due to its lisp. After Mad returns home successfully and gets to know the new parrot, an egg suddenly appears, and Fweddy shyly admits "Call me Fwedwika".

* A poem by [[Shel Silverstein]], "If I Had a Brontosaurus":

* ''[[Pit Dragon Chronicles]]'': Jakkin seems to assume that his dragon is male. Most readers are led to believe this too. But the dragon is always referred to as "it" and near the end, Jakkin's master reveals that it's a female.

* Inverted in ''[[Safehold]]''. Archbishop Maikel Staynair has a pet cat-lizard that he didn't find out was male until after he'd named it after his late wife. Fortunately, his wife had the kind of sense of humor that the family figures that she would've been amused by it.

** Also a sort of meta example: there was at least one tie-in book that talked about Simba and Nala's ''son,'' but the sequel only gives them one female cub.

* ''[[Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' has a sort of weird example with Jeff the Spider, who lays "thousands of thousands" of eggs. Even ''he'' thought he was male, and continues to be treated as such afterward, so whether or not this counts as [[Mister Seahorse]] is up for debate.
