* ''Fanfic/SpiderNinja'': Mikey goes into his shell to avoid letting Donnie [[MinorInjuryOverreaction treat an injury]] (much like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOoOrGEmEVY many turtles do when they're scared]]). His siblings treat this like it's normal, while Doctor Connors (who's mostly seen the teens [[UpliftedAnimal behave like humans]]) stares for a second.

* ''Fanfic/LightingCandles'': Bunny, being a large rabbit, is unnerved by [[spoiler:Tadashi's fox form.]] Tadashi uses it to mess with him a few times, only to eventually learn that, because [[spoiler:he's basically a fox spirit who can turn human]], he is afraid of dogs.

* ''Fanfic/ZoruaTrainer'': Ash may look like a human with his illusionary disguise, and he may act like a human a lot of times; but he still engages in a number of behaviors that remind the audience and his human friends that he's still a fox pokemon. Among other things, he loves digging holes just for the sake of it (getting in trouble with Delia a few times when he was young); or getting zoomies when he's cooped up in his illusion for too long.

* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', Faunus characters may sometimes have such moments. Most notable example is Blake Belladonna, who is a cat faunus. On top of her ears moving in accordance with the situation, throughout the series she has been shown to like meals made out of fish, be afraid of the dogs and be drawn to laser pointers.

* ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}'': Mikey goes into his shell to avoid letting Donnie [[MinorInjuryOverreaction treat an injury]] (much like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOoOrGEmEVY many turtles do when they're scared]]). His siblings treat this like it's normal, while Doctor Connors (who's mostly seen the teens [[UpliftedAnimal behave like humans]]) stares for a second.

[[caption-width-right:350:The worst part is [[Franchise/StarFox he]]'s not a rooster ([[NonIndicativeName or even a falcon]]).]]

* A few ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' stories will have the titular robot cat moving like, well, a real-life cat. Notably in ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheBirthOfJapan'' where a frightened Doraemon scrambles up the curtains in the Nobi household with his back arched like a frightened cat (scared by, ironically, [[IronicFear a hamster]]) while another film ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasTreasureIsland'' have him getting annoyed by Quiz, a robotic parrot and moving like a cat after a bird.
* The manga of ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaInTheWanNyanSpacetimeOdyssey'' have Hachi, an andromorphic dog, getting into a heated argument with Nobita and finally biting Nobita's shin when the latter tries to grab him, proving that an andromorphic dog is ''still a dog''. The anime movie (which gives Hachi an AdaptationalNiceGuy treatment) omits this scene though.
* ''Manga/DragonBall'' examples:
** The chief priest of the temple hosting the Tenkaichi tournaments is a humanoid dog. His speech at the start of the 21st is a single word: "Woof!"
** Jackie Chun defeats Man-Wolf in the Budokai by making him 'fetch' a bone thrown out of the ring. That was after ridiculing him by having him do dog tricks.
* In ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'', Izutsumi is a CatGirl with emphasis on the "cat", and so regularly does things like lick her bowl clean when she finishes eating, startle at things only she can see, and take frequent naps. Her whole personality is also [[CatsAreMean stereotypically catlike]], in particular being a standoffish loner whose number one priority is herself (though she's gradually becoming more considerate).

* ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' generally sees the populace lean towards the more human end of the scale, with the only reminders ([[JustForPun aside from the lame cat-puns]]) being references to consumer goods such as "hairball eliminator," [[FrothyMugsOfWater the apparent substitution of milk for alcohol]], and the one time in the series that Razor gets a furball (chalk that one down to RuleOfFunny).

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'':
** Loona the Hellhound might be anthropomorphic and just as intelligent as any other demon, but she has her moments of acting like a dog or a wolf, like snarling and showing her teeth when upset, her ears perking up or going down according to her mood and reacting like a dog being taken to the vet for a shot, as well as lashing out when cornered.
** Stolas is an owl Demon Prince and he occasionally reminds us of the fact by eating mice, hooting when excited and hissing like a bird when upset.

** Mr. Krabs once shed his shell, as crabs and other crustaceans do, and his "new" shell was shown to be soft and pink as the fresh carapace hadn't hardened yet; he is shown to be embarassed of this, even moreso because he was supposed to be meeting his own Navy buddies imminently.

* ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}'': Mikey goes into his shell to avoid letting Donnie treat his burn (much like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOoOrGEmEVY many turtles do when they're scared]]). His siblings treat this like it's normal, while Doctor Connors (who's mostly seen the teens [[UpliftedAnimal behave like humans]]) stares for a second.

** When [=SpongeBob=] accidentally spreads a fungus throughout Bikini Bottom, Gary ends up eating it. [=SpongeBob=] tries to scold him for being disgusting before Mr. Krabs informs him that since he's a snail, Gary is a bottom feeder and is supposed to eat that stuff. {{Downplayed}} in that Gary is not anthropomorphic, and [[DependingOnTheWriter usually]] not sapient.
