* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}''[='s=] main characters Judy (a rabbit) and Nick (a fox) both stay awake during the day. In real life, both species are crepuscular. {{Justified|Troope}} in that the [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals mammals in the film have evolved and are fully anthropomorphic and sapient]] and therefore would be able to overcome biological imperatives regarding daylight hours. Jerry Jumbeaux Jr. does snidely ask Nick why he's visiting his ice cream parlor during the day, which seems to imply that foxes are, if nothing else, racially stereotyped as nocturnal/crepuscular.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': In "[[Recap/MollyOfDenaliS1E32BusyBeaversTheNightWatchers Busy Beavers]]," the kids observe the beavers mostly during the day, while real-life beavers are generally nocturnal. Justified as they do have young, which typically means being active at any given hour.
