Basic Trope: Female animals are drawn more humanoid/anthropomorphic than the male animals.
- Straight: Alice the cat is notably more humanoid than her friend Bob the dog.
- Exaggerated: The male animals are almost completely regular animals, but the female animals are pretty much humans with animal characteristics.
- Downplayed: All of the animals look pretty similar regardless of gender, but female characters may have Hartman Hips, Furry Female Mane, or other Tertiary Sexual Characteristics.
- Justified:
- Alice Was Once A Woman, but is undergoing a slow, gradual transformation into becoming a cat.
- In this world, female animals evolved to be more humanoid than males.
- It's an alien species with Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism.
- Inverted: The male characters are more humanoid than the female characters.
- Subverted: Although we're lead to believe that female animals are more anthropomorphic than the males, a female character that looks nearly identical to the male characters is introduced.
- Double Subverted: Who turns out to be a male character that was crossdressing.
- Parodied: Any female member of a non-human species is essentially a Cute Monster Girl.
- Zig-Zagged: Some female characters are more humanoid, but some aren't.
- Averted: How anthropomorphic the character is has nothing to do with their gender.
- Enforced:
- "The characters are animals. How do we let the audience know which ones are the girls?" "Make the female characters look more like humans."
- Can fall under Men Are Generic, Women Are Special.
- Alice the cat is supposed to be Ms. Fanservice, and it'd be weirder if she looked more like an animal.
- Lampshaded: "Weird that Alice looks almost like a person, but I'm a cartoony animal."
- Invoked: A Mad Scientist creates a race of animal-people, but specifically makes the females more humanlike.
- Exploited: Due to having a more humanoid body, Alice can do more things that Bob can't.
- Defied: The Mad Scientist creates a race of animal-people, but decides that how animal-like or person-like they are has nothing to do with gender.
- Discussed: "Why do the female animals look so different from the male animals?"
- Conversed: "They drew the female characters as much more humanoid than the male characters. Is is like they think the audience can't tell they're a girl unless they're given an extreme amount of Tertiary Sexual Characteristics?"
