History Main / AnimalsLackAttributes

* Dinosaur toys are also prone to it. As reptiles and avian relatives, dinosaurs would have lacked external genitalia but would have had cloaca slits like modern reptiles and birds. That makes the lack of anatomy less noticeable most of the time. Notable exceptions are [=PNSO=] models and [=CollectA=] figures. Schliech and Papo are more variable.

* Fully averted with Toby the dog in ''VideoGame/SherlockHolmes: VideoGame/TheTestamentOfSherlockHolmes''

* Averted in ''VideoGame/{{Metro 2033}}''. Nosalises have fully visible genital orifices (males seem to have a hemipenis, as only a small hole is visible in the front of their groin), and every mutant has an anus. However, their attributes can only be seen if you're actively looking for them in corpses; you'll be too busy shooting the monsters otherwise.

* In ''Film/CharlottesWeb'' a CGI male rat has no testicles. Any pet rat owner would notice.

On the other hand, when depicting mammals (aside from monotremes — platypodes and echidnas), there's a common assumption that [[FurIsClothing an animal's natural fur will adequately preserve the creature's modesty]]. However, observation of most real mammals will show that their fur is actually ''thinner'' in those places (so it doesn't get soiled when [[PottyEmergency nature calls]], and is easier to clean if it does). Also, many species' coats of fur are just too short to adequately conceal the features of their genital or anal area in the first place. Anyone who has seen a male pig, male cattle, or male dog (both desexed and intact ones), for example, will have no doubt noticed the prominent pair of features (testicles in intact ones, penises in both) between its rear legs (and on the belly in the case of dogs and cattle). However, fur mostly concealing the animal's genitalia is actually the case in some animals. As a rule of thumb, mammals that live further north will have thicker and longer fur and are more likely to justify this as the longer fur protects their naughty bits from the cold. There are also some animals that can actually retract their genitalia when not using them, such as the aforementioned echidnas.

** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'' subverts with the Gigginox. A cutscene clearly shows one laying eggs out of one of its orifices. Of course, since it's a reptilian hermaphrodite, any sexual organs are not visible.

** Played straight with the mammalian monsters such as the Rajang, Gamuto, and the Congala. None of these creatures have visible nipples, sexual organs, or anuses. The latter is especially jarring with the Congala, considering one of its signature attacks is via farting.

* Averted in ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Despite being a spirit rather than a regular cat, Shirogane has visible testicles, and we get a frontal view of them [[OncePerEpisode quite often]]. One chapter showed the same on an actual cat. When Matsuri is turned into a cat, a back view shows a vulva. Oddly, male cats show no sign of a penis nor is any drawn with an anus.

* Averted in ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Despite being a spirit rather than a regular cat, Shirogane has visible testicles, and we get a frontal view of them [[OncePerEpisode quite often]]. One chapter showed an actual cat, and despite being drawn much more realistically, it still had a cartoonish pair of testicles. When Matsuri is turned into a cat, a back view shows what is either an anus or a vulva (the latter seems more likely, as Shirogane's anus is never drawn).

* Annie/Bigette the goat, a recurring character in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1991'', has udders.

* While Pokemon lacking features in ''Manga/{{Pokemon Adventures}}'' is usually played straight in the manga, there is a single instance of a Zigzagoon having a visible butthole.

* Averted in ''Comicbook/{{Bone}}'' with Roque Ja the mountain lion, who when seen from behind has a very prominent scrotum.
* Averted in ''Comicbook/TheBoys'' with Butcher's dog Terror, who is also drawn with a clearly visible scrotum. It's a necessary detail, since Terror is portrayed as a LovableSexManiac who constantly humps smaller dogs and cats.

* Partial aversion in the first volume of the Franco-Belgian comic ''Comicbook/{{Seuls}}'': the white tiger is shown to be most definitely male when his rump is shown. However, his anus isn't drawn, even though it should be visible.

* Fully averted with Toby the dog in ''VideoGame/SherlockHolmes:VideoGame/TheTestamentOfSherlockHolmes''

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* ''WebComic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':

* In ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'', Ozy [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal doesn't wear pants]] and apparently has nothing, except when the [[OnceASeason annual]] RunningGag of him losing all his fur happens, in which case he gets [[SceneryCensor covered up in various ways]].

* Annie/Bigette the goat, a recurring character in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', has udders.

* All the animals in ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}''. The "My Life as a Teenage Squirrel" saga leans heavily towards "they're visible in-universe, but the artist chooses not to show them", although the strip title "[[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2019/06/28/then-what-was-all-that-with-grape-eleven-years-ago-huh/ Then What Was All That With Grape Eleven Years Ago Huh]]" acknowledges that this hasn't always been the case (because early Grape had an in-universe AmbiguousGender).

* Averted in ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Despite being a spirit rather than a regular cat, Shirogane has visible testicles, and we get a frontal view of them [[OncePerEpisode in almost every chapter]]. One chapter showed an actual cat, and despite being drawn much more realistically, it still had a cartoonish pair of testicles.

* Shows up in ''Film/ScoobyDoo'', ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'', ''Film/{{Garfield}}'', and ''Film/YogiBear'', where they don't have the excuse of being cartoon animals. A deleted scene from ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' involving the Scooby Gang averts this.

* Snowy the dog in the 2012 CGI ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin'' movie doesn't have the excuse to be rendered in a cartoony style.

** A major aversion occurs in the episode "I Wanna Go Home" that nearly gets Millicent into peril when she finds out that a black-and-white cow with huge udders turns out to be a black-and-white bull with a huge pink scrotum.

* In the 1970 animated adaptation of Creator/TakashiYanase's children's book ''Yasashii Lion'' (''Anime/TheKindlyLion''). [[InterspeciesAdoption Muku-Muku (a female dog) adopts an orphaned lion cub named Buru-Buru]] after the death of his parents. During his infancy, Buru-Buru is shown drinking milk from his adopted mother but isn't depicted with teats. However, the only she's drawn with teats is during scenes where she's walking when Buru-Buru was still a young lion cub. During a montage of Buru-Buru acting more like a dog, he's drawn with an anus as he's walking. In the original book, neither of these were depicted in Yanase's illustrations of both characters.

* ''VideoGame/TheSims'': In the franchise in general, similarly to how sims have BarbieDollAnatomy [[note]]Although the player wouldn't normally see it without removing the nudity censor with mods.[[/note]], the pet animals seen in the pet themed expansion packs lack any visible genitals, despite they having specific sexes and being able to reproduce (inside pet houses or through GRatedSex, depending on the game).
