* The ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series has some very prominent examples. While characters like Tails and Rouge the Bat can at least be identified as to which species they are, most other characters look nothing like their species. You probably wouldn't guess Sonic was a hedgehog unless you'd been told so.

* [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology Many prehistoric animals are portrayed inaccurately.]] For example, many theropods are portrayed having pronated hands when the palms actually faced each other like a person about to clap, plant-eating dinosaurs are shown having elephantine feet when this wasn't the case in real life, feathered dinosaurs like ''Velociraptor'' are shown as being covered in scales, pterosaurs are shown as bipedal and scaly when actually they were quadrupeds covered in hair-like pycnofibres, plesiosaurs are depicted with snake-like necks instead of rigid necks with limited flexibility, basal synapsids like ''Dimetrodon'' will have mostly reptilian features despite being ancestral to mammals, and mammoths will be all be portrayed as woolly regardless of species. In many cases, this can be because [[ScienceMarchesOn the information was not available at the time.]]
