* In ''VideoGame/BearAndBreakfast'', talking woodland animals work together to build inns for humans. However, [[AnimalTalk the animals only make noises when they talk to humans]], and Sabine is [[SpeaksFluentAnimal the only human who can understand them.]]

->'''Teacher''': So the [[Literature/ThreeLittlePigs first Little Pig went to the store. He asked the merchant, 'I'd like to buy some straw please.']] And what do you think the man said?\\
'''Student''': He said, "Holy shit, a talking pig!"

* ''Series/{{Wishbone}}'' has the title dog imagine himself as the main character in classic works of literature. The other character in the book don't question one of the people in their world being a dog.

Some writers couldn't care less, however. And thus you get worlds where [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing pointy-hatted young women buy their groceries from six-foot-tall raccoon dogs]], little girls go on play dates [[Literature/LittleBear with grizzly bears]], preteen kids [[WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey go to school with monkeys]], and plenty of other [[HilarityEnsues assorted hijinks]] go down between humans and what most people consider "UsefulNotes/{{furr|yFandom}}ies." To make things even ''more'' baffling, some of these worlds have ordinary {{Talking Animal}}s as well, generally making everyone's heads hurt. And... don't bother asking what everyone eats. [[CarnivoreConfusion Seriously... just don't.]]

* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'': You and your fellow {{Player Character}}s are the only humans in a village full of {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s. To be fair, the other species you meet seem to come in short supply too, so you're all kind of [[TokenMinority Token Minorities]].

* Played with in [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/please-explain-this-anomaly this]] ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'' comic.

* ''Manga/TwilightStarSuiAndNeri'': [[spoiler:{{Downplayed}}.]] Humans and animals in the 26th Century coexist with one another. [[spoiler:In Tetsunagi, at least, as animals ''outside'' of the island like in other cities are non-sapient and are quadruped, like the mice that Sui, Neri and the teenage boy seen in Chapter 12.]]

* ''VideoGame/DuckTalesTheQuestforGold'': The mummy looks very human, in contrast to the {{Dogface}} mummies from the show. This seems to be a slight oversight by the programmers.

* ''Super VideoGame/AngryBirds'', a comic-spinoff of the game series, takes place in an alternate New York. Only two species besides humans are intelligent citizens, pigs and birds.

* ComicBook/ExitStageLeftTheSnagglepussChronicles: The world this takes place in is just shy of an AlternateHistory, taking place in a world populated with BeastMan and human living side by side.

* The ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' world is populated by both humans and humanoid animals coexisting much acknowledgement from the characters outside of the occasional pun. Given the fact that most of the "Knights" are fully armored and masked, it's very possible several of them are animal people as well. In fact, a hidden NPC one can find looks identical to Shovel Knight himself... only with a giant fish head on his shoulders instead!

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBadGuys2022'' is set in modern-day Los Angeles where the world is populated by humans but the principle characters are anthropomorphic animals.

** Similarly, ''WebOriginal/{{Xanadu}}'' creates this world as a result of a mass transformation; Only here, it turned people at a convention into their costumes, including anthro animals alongside fictional characters.

* In the ''WebOriginal/{{Paradise}}'' setting, humans and anthros co-exist in modern day Earth. Much like ''Metamor Keep'' above, this is justified as it deals with an alternate universe in which people have started changing into anthropomorphic animals called "Changed" and no one is rightfully sure as to why.

** The games are set in this kind of world. In fact, the series seems to make a distinct differentiation between humans, anthropomorphs, and regular animals.[[note]]Sonic and friends act largely human and are treated like another [[FantasticSapientSpeciesTropes sapient species]] by the human characters. The tiny animals that Sonic rescues don't speak (and originally bounded away on all fours) and the other characters aren't able to communicate with [[TeamPet Chao or Big's pet, Froggy]] either. The original animal friends (Pecky, Ricky, etc) are shown to be mildly anthropomorphic but otherwise live as normal WoodlandCreatures.[[/note]] However, this wasn't all readily apparent until ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' (which is partly set on a city) came out, as the old games took place on islands and Sonic's friends were all animals, leading many to assume that Sonic's world was populated by anthropomorphs and there were no humans. Even Sega of America and Sega of Europe fell victim to this misconception, and as a result created the backstory and lore of "Mobius", a WorldOfFunnyAnimals where Sonic lived. This was the world where a lot of early Western Sonic adaptations were set, such as ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' and the original run of the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Archie comics]]. However, this never held true in Japan, where the existence of humans was always taken for granted, and even the classic games and media had plenty of references and hints at them.[[note]]Such as the fact that [[BigBad Eggman]] and [[VideoGame/TailsSkyPatrol Witchcart]] are humans, the presence of urban-themed levels, and ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogTheScreenSaver Sonic the Screensaver]]'' and ''Anime/SonicTheAnimation'' outright showing Sonic and his friends in human-populated cities.[[/note]]
