* American author Jim Kjelgaard wrote many stories in this form, with an animal protagonist and written from the animal's point of view. Most of them were domestic animals - dogs of various breeds, and once a cat - set loose in the wild by accident and forced to fend for themselves.

* ''WebOriginal/HamstersParadise'' is normally presented in a nature guide-style format, focusing on maps, species and biomes at intervals of 5-10 million years. An example of Xenofiction happens, however, when the AlwaysChaoticEvil harmsters arise, and very quickly eradicate themselves. The trope is much stronger with the Calliducyonidae, a family arising 45 million years after the harmsters, containing two genera of dog-like sophonts, the wolf-like southhounds and the fox-like northhounds, which are depicted from the stories they tell and their perspectives on life.

* ''Film/TheLegendOfLobo'' is a 1962 American animal-adventure film that follows the life and adventures of Lobo, a wolf born and raised in southwestern North America. The story is told as much from a wolf's point of view as from a human's. There is no dialogue in the film, with the only interpretation presented through the use of story-song composed and sung by the Sons of the Pioneers and the Sherman Brothers, and narration by Rex Allen.

* ''Literature/WarQueen'': The titular character is the queen of a colony of what are essentially giant alien ants, and many of the chapters are from the perspective of some of the other members of her colony. They communicate as much through scent, sight, and touch as they do through sound and find communication with humans weirdly stripped for lacking the other two senses. They don't have writing, but their oral histories come in the form of a song that is periodically sung in a chorus consisting of every member of the colony, ensuring the whole history is remembered as long as the entire colony is not wiped out. Each individual "ant" doesn't think of themselves as an individual--even the queen. She's merely the part of the colony whose job it is to make decisions, similar to the way the brain is the part of a human that thinks. The other "ants" are sapient and have personalities, but they are completely devoted to their roles and don't have any desire to strike off on their own, and don't have individual names, instead referring to themselves in the format "Hive Name-Role". Their minds are collectively blown when they realize that a single human can perform any role, can change roles, and make decisions like a queen, but then sometimes still subordinates themself to others.
** The Hive Queen makes decisions for the colony, and also reproduces to sustain the colony.
** Thinkers ask questions and advise the Queen.
** Junior queens lay eggs, and may eventually become the Hive Queen themselves.
** Soldiers fight.
** Spitters fight at range.
** Scouts gather information and are one of the few roles that can stand being cut off from the hive for any length of time.

** Most of the conflict revolves around issues that are specifically "toy problems," such as destructive children and animals that play too dangerously hard, being separated from or abandoned by a child, being broken, malfunctioning, or losing parts, being put into storage, getting thrown away, friends and LoveInterests being separated from them in garage sales, etc... They all have a strong psychological need to be played with by a child, and suffer if that need is not met, and they get very attached to their owners, who all eventually get rid of them or get too old to play with them anymore. Failure to meet these needs causes at least two toys to become villains. It's a surprisingly hard life to be a living toy.
