* ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'': Mostly averted, where different species have accents that represent different British social classes (hares talk like Stiff Upper Lip army officers, searats Talk Like A Pirate, moles talk like farmers, etc.). However, one book features bats who repeat the last word of their sentences, presumably because of their echolocation.

* Foxes have higher voices than dogs in ''Literature/{{Survivor|Dogs}}s'', fitting how a foxes yowl sounds.
* In ''Literature/TheWickedYears'', Animals voices reflect their species. For example, Doctor Dillamond is a Goat with a voice that sounds like sandpaper.

** WesternAnimation/ChipAndDale have high-pitched chipmunk voices.

** WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and the Daisy Duck prototype Donna Duck all have somewhat unintelligible, quacky duck-accented voices. Huey, Dewey, and Louie downplay the duck accent greatly in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' and lack it entirely in ''WesternAnimation/QuackPack'' and ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''.

** Peter Pig from ''WesternAnimation/TheWiseLittleHen'' (yes, the same cartoon WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck debuted) has a deep voice resembling pig's grunts.

* Persia the CatGirl in ''Anime/{{Gate}}'' says "Nya?" instead of "What?" when confused.

** In the short ''WesternAnimation/WhoKilledCockRobin'', the owl judge says the "Who" in the title phrase with a long hoot at the beginning.

This often involves a VerbalTic or accent based on an onomatopoeia of how they speak. For the VerbalTic examples, a cat character saying "meow" (or whatever the language's version is) often. For the accent examples, sheep and goats will have their "ba-a-a-a" noise as their species accent, dogs have their "ruff" or "woof" sound as their species accent, the owls' accent consists of the "hoooos" they make, and snakes have a whole trope in how they overdo the "sssss" sound.
