* Austin from ''TheBackyardigans'' is a kangaroo, but looks more like he's half aardvark and half cat.
* [[BigBad Doctor Hamsterviel]] from ''LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' is supposed to be a hamster, but he looks more like a gerbil. However, he hates being called a gerbil.
** Stitch himself is described as being a dog, but he actually looks more like a mutant koala instead, as pointed out by [[PromotionToParent Nani]] about halfway through his film.
*** Though unlike other examples Stitch isn't actually intended by the creators to be a dog. Which is good considering his default form has six limbs, antennae, and dorsal spines.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' involved The Hacker using [[RodentsofUnusualSize a giant hamster]] in an exercise wheel as part of one of his evil plans to undermine the Mother Board and take over {{Cyberspace}}. However, for some reason the aforementioned hamster looked more like a capybara than an actual hamster.
* Sherlock from [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner ''Sweet Cuppin' Cakes'']] is supposed to be a mix between a cow and a helicopter, but he looks like neither.
* Rigby from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' is supposed to be a raccoon, but for some reason he looks more like a coati (a South American relative to the raccoon) instead.
** Margaret is supposedly a robin, but looks just like a [[AnimalGenderBender male-colored]] cardinal.
** And Eileen looks more like a midget human with a tail than a mole.
** That ostrich and possum in "Replaced". The ostrich looks like a duck. The possum...well, he may just be the technical "possum" (the one that lives in Australia).
* ''AdventuresFromTheBookOfVirtues''
** Plato, a bison, has a face that looks a bit more identical to a bear's than an actual bison's.
** Socrates is supposed to be a bobcat, but his orange fur, black stripes and white patterns make him look more like a tiger.
* Goo from the {{Gumby}} cartoons barely looks like a [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaid]] (even less so in her 1960's appearances).
* Winslow from ''CatDog'' is supposed to be a mouse, but other than the ears and the fact that he lives in a hole in the wall (with a door, mind), it's not obvious.
* One episode of TheBerenstainBears features what Brother identifies as a [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bvIhzA5Nu04/TZRdaoP0dmI/AAAAAAAAAks/ueJqBi5TzpA/s1600/Scarlet+Tanager.jpg scarlet tanager]]. It reality, it looks like ''no'' existing species of bird - it has the body shape of a [[http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/PHOTO/LARGE/WAG_072202_00364Z_S.jpg pileated woodpecker]], except all black and with red wings.
* All of the fish from ''FishHooks''.
* Most cartoon fireflies look nothing like their real-life counterparts, the only indication of such being a firefly is the light on its abdomen.
* The Chameleon Brothers from ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' look more like some kind of theropod dinosaur than actual chameleons.
* The Zuniceratops, Velociraptor, and Troodon from ImADinosaur look more like Triceratops, Deinonychus, and Coelophysis respectively.
* The [[NightmareFuel leopard seal]] from ''{{Pingu}} Dreams'' hardly looks like a real leopard seal and more closely resembles a walrus without tusks instead.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mr Bogus}}'', as well as his younger cousin, Brattus, are supposed to be gremlins, but due to their yellow skin, it's indeterminate whether they actually are gremlins or just little people.
