About: Funny Animal Anatomy   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The process of anthropomorphization of an animal character usually involves a lot of implicit decisions of what should be made human-like, and what should stay the way it is. One thing is certain, though, things will not be realistic. On the other hand, some breaks from reality are less acceptable than others... Sometimes, body organs are shifted or added to funny animals, seemingly in a way to increase identification through anthropomorphism. Some other times, it's just a stylistic convention, used so the creature in question is more easily recognized than if it was drawn realistically.

Though Funny Animal Anatomy should not be noted under You Fail Biology Forever, since it's never meant to be serious, some Egregious decisions are made in this sense, for either stylistic or anthropomorphic reasons, and many people with just barely some knowledge of zoology will probably have shivers by seeing that. Some are so omnipresent they even are tropes unto themselves. This trope page and its child tropes apply to animals on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism from Nearly-Normal Animal to Petting Zoo People. This trope page is meant to catalog only examples which do not fit the child tropes below, are specializations of these tropes, or are especially Egregious. Sub-Trope of Art Major Biology.
