* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'': In "ComicBook/IronFist vs. [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Po]]", the former attacks the latter with a bamboo pole at one point. Po, being a BigEater panda bear, responds by ''eating the bamboo pole until half of it is left''.

** ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/114049/this-is-the-life-a-tale-of-a-human-in-equestria This Is the Life]]'' uses this quite regularly, with the human protagonist often being surprised when the ponies do pony things. One chapter even references this trope almost directly, with him remarking that he tends to forget they are ponies because for the most part they think like humans.
* Several times in ''Fanfic/StarOfWonderStarOfNight'':

** Chili is said to work in airport security, referencing how airport security agents use dogs to sniff for bombs or drugs.

** In a later chapter, [[WriitenInAbsence Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello have to sit out a mission]] because they're shedding their skin [[note]] All reptiles, even turtles, shed their skin. [[/note]]. Petra tells Agent Hill that [[YouDoNotWantToKnow she does NOT want to know]] (Hill doesn't ask further questions).

* Dr. Doppler from ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' is an anthropomorphic dog-like alien who for some reason actually eats out of a dog dish. With a spoon.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', when Mei is surprised and in her giant red panda form she will raise her paws up which real red pandas do when they feel stressed or threatened.

** In a later chapter, Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello have to sit out a mission because they're shedding their skin [[note]] All reptiles, even turtles, shed their skin. [[/note]]. Petra tells Agent Hill that [[YouDoNotWantToKnow she does NOT want to know]] (Hill doesn't ask further questions).

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots'' is full of it, usually in relation to Puss himself, who acts like a Franchise/{{Zorro}} {{Expy}}, until we see him drink milk (by rapidly lapping from the shot glass), purr, lick himself, make big kitty eyes (usually intentional), make cat noises when someone hits him with an object, chase a sunbeam, or bring an apparently dead animal to his adopted mother.
* Several in the ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' films. It usually manifests as characters using their animal traits in combat, making realistic animal sounds, RunningOnAllFours, etc.
** In the first film, we get Po's appetite. Bears, pandas in this case, can be {{big eater}}s.

** In "Granddad", Mort gets heartworm, which is a disease dogs get.

* The line is pretty blurred ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''; to the point where [[FurryConfusion/Arthur there’s a whole article here]] but sometimes the show does reference the fact that the characters are animals. For example, in the season one episode "My Club Rules", Buster says "I'm not made of money, I'm made of fur!" Another episode has Francine insulting Arthur (an aardvark) by telling him to eat an ant sandwich. Most of these are [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness from the first seasons of the show]]; nowadays it's gotten to the point where there's confusion among fans whether they're truly anthro animals or they simply look like animals to the viewer.

* There is a subgenre of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' fanfics (especially on ArchiveOfOurOwn) where Peter Parker has more spider-like behaviors as a result of his powers (such as hissing or even purring[[note]]Yes some spiders do that, look it up[[/note]], sleeping in webs, hibernating/being less active in the cold, being able to hold his breath for a long time, etc).

*** Clawhauser is a cheetah, the fastest land animal in the world. However, he's the most out-of-shape cop on the force who spends most of his time working dispatch at the front desk and clearly loves junk food ([[TrademarkFavoriteFood he admits to loving doughnuts several times]]).
