** In ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', the titular four are specific species, and each one's is different. Leonardo is a red-eared slider[[note]]Which is the species the turtles normally are in other incarnations, making this a SubvertedTrope in his case specifically[[/note]], Raphael a snapping turtle, Donatello a soft-shelled turtle, and Michaelangelo a box turtle. This becomes more complicated when it turns out ''all'' the {{mutants}} (though made in the same way) are artificial {{youkai}}, and the turtles were [[MixAndMatchMan created using]] regular turtles and [[HalfHumanHybrid human DNA]].
