* Creationists deny that humans are animals, even though there are no traits of the animal kingdom[[labelnote:namely]]multicellular eukaryotes which lack cell walls and whose flagella push instead of pull, are obligately heterotrophic [[LaymansTerms (must eat other organisms to survive)]] and have differentiation of cells at least into tissues and for most groups into organs, developing from at least two germ layers[[/labelnote]] that we lack. Creator/AronRa, a science advocate famous for debunking creationism and explaining why evolution is true, even claims to have sat in on a creationist preaching that instead of asking whether an unknown is animal, mineral, or vegetable, one should say "animal, mineral, vegetable, ''or human''". At this point Aron promptly spoke up that a human would be three out of four, since humans are inherently animals and all organisms contain some minerals in their bodies. The creationist was not amused.

* In one ''Pigs in Space'' sketch on ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', Link is unsure about letting Piggy perform a manuveure (that she's been specifically trained for) because [[StayInTheKitchen she's "a woman"]].
-->'''Piggy''': Yes, captain, just as you are a man.\\
'''Dr Strangepork''': Technically, you're both pigs, but we know what you're taking about.

* Most of the cast in ''VideoGame/LegendOfMana'' is non-human, instead consisting of {{Funny Animal}}s, PettingZooPeople, LittleBitBeastly folk, mythical creatures like centaurs and sirens, anthropomorphic plants, and even a talking ''teapot''. Despite this, sometimes these characters are still referred to as human:
** In the event "The Ghost of Nemesis", an NPC tells the main character and their companion Larc (the only two people they are addressing, unless the player brought along a pet or golem, neither of which are human either) "Away with you, humans! This is no place for you!" -- the main character is human all right, but Larc is clearly a WolfMan who doesn't look human at all.
** In the event "Can't Look Back", it's revealed that Mephianse's brother Nakratos is "no longer human" due to having turned into a yeti-like monster. We never see what he originally looked like, but Mephianse is already a demon-like humanoid with horns and red skin, so unless the two were adoptive brothers it may have been a stretch to say that Nakratos was "human" in the first place.
** Perhaps the funniest example comes from the event "The Gorgon Eye", in which a group of penguin pirates go to a lake to look for treasure and come into conflict with the faeries who live there. After it's established that the faeries hate humans, one of them comments, "Penguins are a type of human, aren't they?"

* In ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks: Chipwrecked'', Jeanette breaks up the fight the others are having over a mango, crying that they've become animals in only a day on the island... she may have somewhat of a point, but it doesn't make it any less weird as all six are talking chipmunks.

* [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] in ''VideoGame/BrokTheInvestigator''. Most of the time the anthro animals in the story refer to themselves as "humans", but they also call themselves their respective species at the same time (such as Ott, who is a warthog/otter hybrid). The game does states that the animals have replaced humans in the distant, [[AfterTheEnd apocalyptic]] future, so it's likely a remain from the old days.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel'' backup series within ''ComicBook/ScoobyApocalypse'', upon learning that the mastermind behind I.S.S. is a TalkingAnimal codenamed Agent O, Secret Squirrel is shocked that such a thing is even possible, spending the rest of the issue screaming that "she's an opossum!" At one point, she points out that he's a squirrel and his lifelong sidekick is a mole, which legitimately baffles both Secret and Morocco. {{Justified}}, as it is revealed two issues later that all three are the last remnants of a secret project to grant animals human-level intelligence and turn them into expendable spies, and the only way to prevent these new agents from having mental breakdowns over their nature was to surpass their awareness that they're animals (with Agent O eventually being able to break through this mental block with her sanity intact). Naturally, [[CassandraTruth Secret and Morocco don't believe this story whatsoever]].

* PlayedForDrama and deconstructed in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' and its sequels. Rocket Raccoon is an [[UpliftedAnimal uplifted raccoon]], but ''hates'' being reminded of that fact and reacts with extreme fury when people press the topic. This is because he believes that everyone sees him as just a dumb animal pumped full of mutagens and cybernetics, rather than as a real person. Not to mention his uplifting was a horrific and traumatic experience that he'd really prefer not to be reminded of.

* Pointedly {{averted}} in ''WebComic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', "Why a Gorilla?", when the young (to-be-)Doctor is visiting a city of civilised gorillas as a VampireHunter and interviewing one of the gorillas about how his wife was turned into a vampire. His gorilla interpreter points out to [=McNinja=] that it was highly inappropriate for him to say that she may still have had some of her "humanity" left.
