I feel like this is probably already a trope here, but I can't seem to find it, nor can I put a finger on the example I have in my head. The trope is the alien who forgets or didn't know common human biological functions. Classic example involves the alien teleporting the human underwater or into outer space and, after much pantomiming as the human runs out of air, the alien says something along the lines of "Oh that's right! You humans need oxygen to live." Theoretically, this stretches out to examples of humans and other species, the Real Life version involving children who don't quite get that their goldfish can't survive outside of the water or that sharing their Halloween chocolate with their puppy is a bad idea.
