I imagine these are sometimes overlapped with fantastic racism.

Are there stereotypes for aardvarks and anteaters?

Muffy did tell Arthur to "eat an ant sandwich" which kind of comes off as racist.

I don't think mythological animals are covered here.

Yeah, I think not. These have their own tropes.

There used to be a link in the main section that would take you a website that listed animals and what they represented, qualities the displayed, etc...

Would anyone happen to have that link or know the website? Can't seem to find it.

I noticed that too, they used to also have a list on the TV Tropes page itself of the common animal stereotypes? Does anybody know why it was deleted?

Dying Like Animals and Fighting for Survival? They were moved out of Main/, yes.

Octopus: Weird and otherworldly, probably the closest thing on Earth to alien life. May be either charmingly weird and likeable Cloudcuckoolanders, or malevolent and terrifyingly alien, but tend to lean toward the former more.

Without coming off as a total pervert, are there any associations of octopi with Naughty Tentacles?

Boars are not always male, though I can think of only one example of a Wild Sow - Miss Piggy fits the Boar stereotype in every way except for her femininity.
