Two defunct tropes (one of which is recent) that boils down to "they exist"


* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The emperor penguin in long jump and the gentoo penguin in freestyle swimming. [[spoiler:The gentoo penguin wins a bronze medal.]]
* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Averted, the great white shark in weightlifting and mako shark in freestyle swimming don't really make anything worse for anyone. [[spoiler:Neither of them win anything though.]]



* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Emperor and gentoo penguins enter several competitions [[spoiler:and earn medals in all but cross country]].

There were two herptiles in the Cold Endurance event


* ForegoneConclusion: Considering that there's only one contestant each for the Fish and Herptile teams throughout the entire event, it's fairly obvious that the place for top three in total awards would be between the Mammals, Humans, and Birds.

Everythings Better With Squirrels is a redirect to Nutty Squirrel, which is being cut per TRS decision


* EverythingsNuttierWithSquirrels: The Siberian squirrel in ski jump and the Arctic ground squirrel in cold endurance.

'''''Animal Games''''' is a BBC special that aired in 2004. It presents the UsefulNotes/OlympicGames where all the contestants are non-human animals, using footage of real animals modified digitally to set them in the same scenes. The contestants are divided into five teams, Herptiles, Insects, Fish, Mammals, and Birds. Due to the massive spectrum of sizes covered by the contestants, they are all resized to be the same size as humans. (Of course, SquareCubeLaw is ignored.) The teams compete in various competitions just like in the real life Olympics, with often impressive (and sometimes hilarious) results. Amidst all the fun and games, the commentators (JohnMotson and JonathanPearce) [[EdutainmentShow discuss]] how each contestant accomplishes its feats.

It was followed up in 2006 by '''''Animal Winter Olympics'''''. Aside from the seasonal setting and the different competitions featured, this one had several differences from the original ''Animal Games''. For one thing, it added a new team to the competition, one specifically for Humans that included RealLife athletes, allowing a comparison between human record breakers and other animals, while there was no Insect team. For another, the contestants were not resized this time around, so their performances reflected their actual capabilities in real life.
