** Cattle suffer from a combination of timidity and an overwhelming herd instinct; not only do they startle easily, but in groups, they tend to unthinkingly fall in with the behavior of the group. This means flash-mobs and panic-stricken stampedes are things that cattle are extremely prone to. However, they only suffer this when herded with ''other cattle''. A single cow or bull, isolated from the rest of his race, becomes fully sapient and competent to manage their own life.

* The animals from ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'' and its spin-offs have the animals using crude tools, wearing simple clothes and occasionally going bipedal. But there is no doubt that they are animals, and they can't speak with humans (the animals can understand human speech, but it doesn't work the other direction).

* Monkeys are one of the enemy types in ''VideoGame/{{Sekiro}}''. They’re smart enough to wield swords. They’re smart enough to wield ''guns''. They’re learning how to brew alcohol by stuffing hollow logs full of fruit and waiting for it to ferment. Some of them even wear minimal clothing, like hats or loincloths. But despite their intelligence, they show no other signs of organization or culture; in all other respects they’re still just monkeys.

Like the NearlyNormalAnimal, SpeechImpairedAnimal, and TalkingAnimal, the Partially Civilized Animal is very much an animal when it comes to thought processes, personality, instincts, priorities, and motivations. They are more frequently depicted as just walking on four legs than on [[FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter walking on two legs]] or [[RunningOnAllFours walking both ways]]. Quite a few of them can walk on two legs as well they can on four legs, but they still normally walk on all fours. Like the CivilizedAnimal, they may wear a few accessories or articles of clothing (often in pantless fashion) and often have some sort of MouseWorld.

Partially Civilized Animals can make human-like arm and hand gestures and many can grasp objects as if they have opposable thumbs. Some are bipedal even if their species isn't naturally so, but many others are depicted as staying on four legs if they are a four-legged animal in RealLife. Like NearlyNormalAnimal, SpeechImpairedAnimal, and TalkingAnimal birds, Partially Civilized Animal birds can have FeatherFingers, but their wings have to look completely like wings.

Unlike the NearlyNormalAnimal, SpeechImpairedAnimal, and TalkingAnimal, Partially Civilized Animals exhibit some form of civilized manner, usually to a lesser degree than the CivilizedAnimal, and often have some form of MouseWorld. Unlike the CivilizedAnimal, the majority of the mannerisms are that of the animal and they are more likely to be four-legged than two legged if they are naturally four legged.

* The animals of the ''Disney/TheLionKing'' live under a monarchy ruled by lions that has organized events and laws and animals are shown to be capable of interacting with each other on a sapient level.

Although the movie does tend to put a more anthropomorphic spin on otherwise natural behaviors such as the trio of hyenas [[SapientEatSapient cracking jokes about how they're going to eat Simba, Nala, and Zazu]].
