If you are a duck on the make, or a Rascally Rabbit trying to escape the hunters, or just a dog whose owner made it wear a turkey costume◊, you have a good chance of turning into an "ass in a lion skin." This involves one animal (usually a Funny Animal) that attempts to pass as an animal of an entirely different species, not simply of a different style or level of reality — Augie Doggie pretending to be Top Cat, but not Augie Doggie pretending to be Doggie Daddy, Scooby-Doo, Underdog, Pluto, or Rin Tin Tin. Note also that the trope specifically excludes an animal dressed as or imitating a human being (or vice versa). Though this is mainly an Animation Trope (the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies series in particular were addicted to it), it also occurs in other fictional contexts. The disguise in question is usually Paper Thin, but is often remarkably successful, to the point that its removal may actually provoke a comedic BSOD — "My God! You're not a fruit bat at all! You're a killer whale!" The Ass In A Lion Skin has a Real Life counterpart in the phenomenon of "animal mimicry," in which, for example, a harmless milk snake may resemble a deadly coral snake, but in such a case, unlike its fictional counterpart, the mimicry is permanent and (probably) unconscious.note To tell the difference, remember this saying: "Red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow; red touches black, you're OK, Jack." Compare A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and Animal Disguise. Contrast with Furry Confusion, which is about the bewilderment caused by differences in two individuals of what are supposed to be the same kind of animal; with I Am Not Weasel, the Inversion of this trope, in which the animal is taken for another species against its wishes; and with most of the entries on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism, which are about animals acting like humans. Not to be confused with a human whose ass is in a lion skin; that's Fur Bikini or Loincloth. When the filmmakers dress up an animal as a cheap way to put a "monster" on screen, that's a Slurpasaur. The Trope Namer is, of course, the Aesop's Fable of the same name, "The Ass in the Lion Skin". Examples |

The Far Side had one with a polar bear with a Paper-Thin Disguise — a penguin's beak — pretending to be a penguin. Also, the cover of the book collection The Chickens Are Restless depicts a duck with a false chicken comb among the mob of chickens. "Is anyone here a real sheep?" |

Maus: The mice (Jews) wear pig masks to pass among the general population of pigs (Poles). As the story is non-fiction, it's understood that the Jews didn't actually do this, but is just the comic's way of depicting their attempts to blend in. Played with in Anja's case, whose pig mask disguise doesn't hold up as well as her husband Vladek's because of her more 'Jewish' characteristics, which in this case is depicted as a relatively longer mouse tail. | |

Tom and Jerry: "The Brothers Carry-Mouse-Off": Tom disguises himself as a female mouse, complete with eyelashes, pink bow, and perfume, because of course, nothing's sexier than your equivalent of the 50-foot woman. It works... too well. He attracts every male mouse in the vicinity. Rather than take advantage of the feast at his feet, he runs off when they start fighting each other. Just when he's safe from that, he finds that his zipper's stuck... and he's being noticed by cats now. "Jerry and Jumbo": A baby elephant paints himself to look like a giant Jerry just to mess with Tom. Poor Tom goes completely over the edge when the elephant's mother gets in on the act. "Jerry's Nephew": Jerry disguises himself as a baby chick to smuggle his nephew Dinky out of a hen-house. "Little Runaway": To capture an escaped baby seal, Tom disguises himself as a seal. He is then mistaken for the escaped seal and captured. "Puttin' on the Dog": Tom disguises himself as a dog to catch Jerry in a dog pound, by simply wearing a hollow dog head from a statue as if it were a mask. "Flirty Birdy" has Tom donning probably one of the most paper-thin disguises imaginable. When an eagle steals Jerry from Tom's hands, Tom disguises himself as a female bird to woo the eagle into handing the mouse over. Said disguise consists of lipstick, a party horn for a beak, a skirt, and a few feathers strapped to his rear. Regardless, the eagle is instantly lovestruck. |

Happens a couple of times in Redwall. Brome the mouse and Jukka the squirrel both managed to pass for rats, in Jukka's case by shaving her tail and dyeing her fur. The hares Midge Manycoats and Tammo dress up to enter the Rapscallion camp; they end up looking like miscellaneous weird-looking creatures "neither wholly rat, ferret, or stoat, but definitely vermin of some sort", but since they're dressing up as Seers the otherworldly look actually helps. And then there's the otter Mask, who is a master of disguise and can pass as pretty much ANY other creature, thanks in part to the fact he's missing his actual otter tail and uses fake ones. | |

In Kevin & Kell many characters have used make up, costumes, and/or parts of other characters to disguise themselves as members of other species. For starters, Corrie had gone a long while disguised as a wolf named Dalenote Although she would later learn that she is half-wolf. Kell has disguised herself as a rabbit and shortly after as a feline. George Fennec spent a small while disguising as a rabbit despite disliking rabbits since he was always been confused as one his whole life. And at least three non-rabbits spent Easter disguised as the Easter bunny. And this occasionally pops up as Halloween costumes for kids. Kell noted one time that a child was using a...less-than-fresh pelt. (In fact, this is eventually where Corrie's "Dale" pelt went: into Coney's dress-up box.) One storyline ends with a group of jackals being tricked into and then trapped in the Rabbit Warrens, where they have the option of either dressing up as and pretending to be rabbits in the hope they can find their way out, or spurn the disguises and probably be torn apart by virtue of the fact they are outnumbered hundreds to one. The final panel reveals at least one jackal got so "into character" that he wound up an old man, happily married to an equally elderly rabbit lady, father of countless litters... and with her still oblivious to the truth of her husband's species. A storyline in which Beige University put on a production of The Lion King cast Rudy (a wolf) as Simba, Fiona (a fox) as Nala, Greta (a snake) as Zabu, and Miranda (a rabbit) as one of the hyenas. |

Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies: "Bedevilled Rabbit": Bugs pretends to be a monkey and a Tasmanian she-devil to escape the Tasmanian Devil. "Dog Pounded": Sylvester the Cat dresses in a dog suit in an attempt to cross the city dog pound and eat Tweety. Near the end of the same short, Sylvester paints a white stripe down his back, managing to purloin Tweety. The stunt works (a little too well, as Pepe LePew appears out of nowhere and starts hitting on him in standard Pepe fashion). "Double or Mutton": Sam the sheepdog disguises himself as a sheep stolen by Ralph the wolf (who is disguised as Little Bo Peep, no less!) "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!": Bugs pretends to be a duck; Daffy pretends (briefly) to be an elk and a fiddler crab. "Duck Soup to Nuts": Daffy tries (and fails) to convince Porky that he's a fish. When that doesn't work, Daffy manages to trick Porky into trying to prove that he's an eagle. "False Hare": A father-and-son pair of wolves disguise themselves (badly) as rabbits and try to trick Bugs Bunny into a series of death-traps disguised as the initiation to a "rabbit club". Bugs sees right through the ruse, but plays along to troll the papa wolf. After one failed attempt too many, the papa wolf decides to start a "rooster club", prompting a cameo by Foghorn Leghorn. "For Scentimental Reasons": As in a number of other Warner Bros. shorts, a black cat (later christened Penelope Pussycat) disguises herself as a skunk to frighten away her persecutors; this, of course, backfires spectacularly when it attracts Abhorrent Admirer Pepe le Pew. Some version of this trope is pretty much de rigueur for any Pepe le Pew cartoon. It's usually unintentional: a female black cat inadvertently gets a stripe of paint/whitewash/bleach or something; cue Pepe catching sight of her (though the tables are turned in "For Scentimental Reasons" itself, when Pepe is immersed in blue paint, and the female cat, who caught has a bad (and disfiguring) cold and can't smell anything, observes his now-apparent muscularity and starts pursuing him! "Foxy By Proxy": Bugs disguises himself as a fox to mislead a pack of hounds. "Muzzle Tough": Sylvester does this again, but this time as a female dog to lure Hector away from guarding Tweety. His costume is so convincing, it even fools the dog catcher! "Rabbit Fire": Bugs pretends to be a duck; Daffy pretends to be a rabbit and a dog. "Sheep in the Deep": Ralph the Wolf and Sam the Sheepdog disguise themselves as sheep and as each other. "Tom Turk and Daffy": Tom dresses Daffy as a turkey to divert Porky Pig from himself. "You Were Never Duckier": Daffy dresses as a chicken to win a poultry contest; Henery Hawk and his father dress as a duck and a chicken to do the same. "Fowl Weather": When spying on Tweety on Granny's farm, Sylvester dons a rubber goat mask and hides behind a fence to obscure his body, yet Tweety knows he's not really a goat. Later in the same short, Sylvester disguises himself (poorly, by means of a rubber glove and some feathers) as a chicken, which doesn't fool a large burly rooster one bit. "Ready.. Set.. Zoom!": Wile E. Coyote's last attempt to catch the Road Runner involves himself putting on an Acme-brand female roadrunner costume in order to trick his target. Instead, he ends up attracting a horde of identical-looking coyotes that chase him off into the distance while the real Road Runner once again escapes unscathed. "Roughly Squeaking": Hubie and Bertie convince a cat he's actually a lion and put on the disguise. They also convince him that lions hunt moose and disguised a dog as a moose. "I Got Plenty of Mutton": This World War Two-era short involves a male wolf disguising full-body as a sexy shapely ewe, to lure the sheepdog-like ram protecting the flock away from the rest of the sheep. The plan doesn't fully go well as he hoped, but the attracting bit works a bit too well. Not an intentional disguise, but related: there are several cartoons in which Sylvester believes a young kangaroo to be a giant mouse. In his defense, the "kangaroo" is usually drawn like a oversized version of the mouse that will inevitably also appear in the show. On the other hand, it's kind of stupid of him to assume he can defeat it because it's a "mouse" while ignoring the fact that the "giant" part means it's as big as he is (or, in the cases where the Mom Kangaroo also shows up, significantly larger than he is). He wouldn't even try if it weren't for his son. In "Weasel While You Work", Foghorn Leghorn traps Dawg in a corset making him look like a seal and gives him to the weasel to cook. |

It happens in a number of Classic Disney Shorts: In "The Fox Chase" (1928), Oswald The Lucky Rabbit flushes a skunk out of a log. Oswald and his hounds flee into the distance — and then we see that the "skunk" is really a fox in disguise. In "The Moose Hunters" (1937), Goofy and Donald disguise themselves as a cute lady moose doing a peek-a-boo dance in order to lure a male moose to his doom. Too bad they attract two males... In "The Three Little Pigs" (1933), Zeke the Wolf disguises himself in a sheepskin, becoming a literal Wolf In Sheep's Clothing. In "The Golden Eggs" (1941), Donald disguises himself as a chicken to get some eggs from a rooster. |

This applies to a plot twist in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Tiger Prowess to one of the characters. For specifics, Counselor Gecko feigns his own species, claiming to be a gecko when he's really a dinosaur. Interestingly, he also pulls this on Lord Japper and Leopold, who are firmly convinced they are a tiger and a leopard respectively when they're actually a house cat and a hyena. | |

Only, he can't get in, being a steer and all. So he takes branches and ties them to his horns to create antlers. Oddly enough, it works. | |

In the half-hour animated television special based on the Garfield comic strip, "Here Comes Garfield", Garfield and Odie are captured by the local dogcatcher and thrown into a dark and dreary cell with the other inmates. Among the delinquents is Weird Lonnie, a dog who tried to impersonate a moose (at least his head looks like a moose). Even after the escape attempt, Weird Lonnie's true face is never revealed. | |

Sesame Street: A sketch featured William Wegman's dogs dressed as different kinds of animals. "It's Kermit the Dog!" A more recurring incident was with Gladys the Cow, who liked to pretend she was another animal. In one scene, she got some horses to pretend they were cows. The Homeland parody, Homelamb, has the literal Wolf in Sheep's Clothing version. "Baa-rody" is very obviously the Big Bad Wolf infiltrating the sheep organization; "Caa-rrie" is the only one who can see it. |

Discworld; In The Truth, there is a reward offered for a specific dog. One of the candidates presented, along with the massive range of dogs of the wrong breed, is a parrot with "DoG" written on it. Also, Quoth the raven tries to dress up as a robin in Hogfather. The "DoG" parrot turns up again in The Last Hero. Although it's within-species, Gaspode the terrier mix's emergency makeover as a poodle (also from The Truth) fits this trope in other respects. |

The Muppet Show On the Cloris Leachman episode, pigs take over the show and fill all the roles. Cloris comes out on stage while "Kermit the Pig" is making an introduction and states her belief that he's not Kermit the Frog, despite being green (not easy for a pig) and having the collar. What changes her mind? "Ribbit!" He didn't even have to hide his ears or snout. Whether she was actually fooled for any length of time is another matter, as revealed in the end, when Kermit and the others made their escape: On the Brooke Shields episode, which is a whole episode adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, the Dormouse is played by Camilla the Chicken. On the Glenda Jackson episode, she first appears carrying a penguin. When she reveals herself to be a pirate captain commandeering the theatre, the penguin turns out to be a Pirate Parrot in a costume. In The Muppets Go To The Movies, Fozzie Bear plays the Cowardly Lion |

Dora the Explorer: Swiper has sometimes disguised himself as different animals (like a rabbit, duck, camel, polar bear, horse, etc.) in order to steal a random object from Dora and Boots. He is usually given away either due to his tail sticking out of the costume, or the animal he is passing himself off as not being native to the rainforest, where the series takes place. | |

The Ren & Stimpy Show: "Dog Tags": At the end, Stimpy consoles Ren (who's been snubbed by his fellow dogs) by letting him dress up as a cat and hang out with Stimpy and his cat buddies. "Fire Dogs": Ren paints himself and Stimpy as Dalmatians in order to get jobs at a firehouse. "Monkey See, Monkey Don't": Ren and Stimpy dress as monkeys. Later in the episode, Stimpy disguises himself as a hippopotamus and Ren disguises himself as a tickbird. |

Danger Mouse relaunch: In the episode "Hail Hydrant!", the villainess Red Fox, who appears to be a red fox, is actually Jeopardy Mouse, attempting to infiltrate Hydrant. In the episode "Agent 58", DM and Penfold attend the annual CrimiCon, pretending to be crime fans cosplaying as Baron Greenback and Panda Minion. In addition, Agent 58 himself is a mimic octopus who can shapeshift into various forms including DM, Penfold, Stiletto and a llama guard. (Agent 58 is based on Agent 57 in the original series, who technically isn't an example because we're never told what his real form is.) |

"The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". The wolf used a sheepskin to hide among the flock, planning to kill and eat to his satisfaction once penned with the others for the night. Planning to. |

In The Last Battle Puzzle the Donkey is, as a Shout-Out to the Aesop's Fable, put into a lion skin by Shift the Ape so that the poor ass can unwittingly function as the local Antichrist. The costume is so feeble that the only reasons why it works are that the Narnians haven't seen a lion for ages and because Puzzle is forbidden from braying and brought out only at night. | |

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf series: This applies to a plot twist in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Tiger Prowess to one of the characters. For specifics, Counselor Gecko feigns his own species, claiming to be a gecko when he's really a dinosaur. Interestingly, he also pulls this on Lord Japper and Leopold, who are firmly convinced they are a tiger and a leopard respectively when they're actually a house cat and a hyena. The snakes from The Mythical Ark: Adventures in Love & Happiness wear different animal costumes whenever they're out, due to them being an almost-extinct species. |

A John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme sketch features a literal wolf in sheep's clothing ... only in this case the wolf rapidly Became the Mask, and has been part of the flock for years. Eventually the real sheep tell him they knew all along, because it's not actually a very good disguise, but once they realised he wasn't going to eat them they decided not to make a fuss. They'd be more comfortable if he dropped the disguise, in fact, given that he's wearing the skin of one of their relatives. | |

Each time, though Lana stops him from letting the wolf in. Finally, Lana solves the problem by talking about it with her teacher, Alpha Betty. Fortunately, Alpha Betty happens to be a lion, and she gives him a nice long talk about how to be a friendly neighbor, causing him to have a Heel–Face Turn. | |

An episode of The Lion Guard has the title Guard playing the original Lion Guard in a theater play. However, since the original Guard consisted of five lions, all the non-lions of the current Guard have to dress up as lions (in fact, a major conflict involves the costume and makeup artist Makini running out of yellow paint because of this!). | |

In A Charlie Brown Christmas, Snoopy is tapped to perform the parts of all the animals in the Christmas play, including a sheep, a cow, and a penguin. (He gratuitously adds a vulture.) The vulture may be a reference to a series of strips where Snoopy pretended to be a vulture. He eventually gave up when he decided it wasn't creeping people out enough to be fun any more. |

A variant appears in Season 7 episode 15 of Happy Heroes. A tiger named Fat Tiger runs away from his circus and refuses to accept himself as a tiger, preferring to think of himself as a cat. (He means a house cat, but then that brings up the question of how tigers are already cats to begin with.) | |
