In animation and comics, animal characters develop and age like humans. In reality, they tend to have much different lifespans, ranging from mere weeks to centuries longer than any human could hope to live. In addition, they usually develop quite differently and sometimes have life stages that are completely alien to humans. For example, frogs and toads have tadpole, froglet, and adult stages, butterflies and moths have larval (caterpillar), pupal, and adult stages. Crickets and grasshoppers have nymph and adult life stages, which are less drastic. This trope takes on four different forms, human-like lifespan and longevity, human-like aging process, human-like developmental process, and human-like baby animal body proportions. Human-like Lifespan/Longevity: This is when an animal character has the same longevity as a human, that is, live as long as a human. Depending on the species this is either accomplished by shortening or lengthening their life span, though the lengthening of the short-lifespanned animals form is far more common. A way to avert this is to use the species' normal life span, and give a multiplier to calculate how old the animal would be if it was a human. Human-like Aging Process: This is when an animal character shows their age in the way that a human does. Examples of this include gray hair or fur even on a non-mammal character, wrinkles, liver spots, bushy eyebrows, mustaches, and/or beards, balding head (often in the form of Furry Baldness), and sagging Non-Mammal Mammaries. Human-like Development Process: This is when an animal character develops in the way or at the pace that a human does. Human-like Baby Animal Body Proportions: This is when a baby animal is inaccurately given body proportions like those of human babies. For example, real-life calves, fawns, lambs, and foals have long legs, so that they can stand shortly after birth and reach to suckle. Some examples are animal equivalents of the Three-Month-Old Newborn trope. Precocial Altricial Baby Animals: This is when a baby animal of an altricial species is inaccurately portrayed as less altricial or more precocial than in real life. One variant is an animal that is born furless or hatches featherless in real life is depicted as being born fully furred or being fully feathered when it hatches. Newly-hatched songbirds, parrots, and pelicans are featherless and helpless in real life, but tend to be portrayed as fluffy, yellow, and precocial as ducklings and chicken chicks in fiction. Some examples are animal equivalents of the Three-Month-Old Newborn. Averting or lampshading this trope is sometimes done as a Furry Reminder. |

A Bug's Life: The baby songbirds at the end that devour Hopper are shown to be cute and fluffy, like baby chickens. In truth, the newly-hatched young of many songbirds are in fact blind, featherless and rather hideous-looking, at least for the first few weeks. | |

Companions in Heralds of Valdemar resemble beautiful, intelligent white horses but they live as long as the humans they've bonded to do - and usually choose humans in their early teens. After being born they take about ten years to grow up and make their choice. Of course, they aren't horses and tend to take offense when called horses - they're essentially angels, the reincarnations of virtuous humans helping to guide and support their Chosen. A few Companions straight up live for centuries or unless they're killed, but those are essentially archangels Born as an Adult anyway. | |

The Tom and Jerry cartoon "The Missing Mouse" has Jerry Mouse pose as an escaped lab mouse filled with a volatile explosive. Jerry's ruse dissolves, however, and Jerry gets booted out of the house. Tom soon captures another mouse, thinking Jerry is repeating the trick. When Jerry shows himself elsewhere, though, Tom realizes that he's abusing the explosive mouse. This realization ages Tom dramatically: white eyebrows, white ear-hairs, baggy skin, collapsed posture. He looks like a centenarian. | |

In the Redwall series most animals seem to use "seasons" as a substitute for years, Tagg for example is stated to be an adult at 16 seasons. They seem to equate one season to one year, and that's still far too slow. In the example that's given of Tagg, to be realistic he would have had to have been an adult by around 13 months, or just over four seasons. Also, the mice ought to be fully grown in well under one season. | |

Akamaru from Naruto is two years old at the start but is still only a small puppy. Within not even three years, he hit a huge growth spurt. As a puppy he rode on Kiba's head, but as an adult Kiba could ride him like a horse. In the final chapter he's very, very old looking but alive over ten years later. Large dog breeds tend to have short lifespans. At six Akamaru is a sprightly adult but for even small dogs that's nearing the end of middle aged. In Akamaru's case it can be justified in that he's a fictional breed of ninja dog. | |

Originally averted by Garfield, who mentions on his second birthday that he's the human equivalent of fourteen, and complains about aging ever since he turned four. Later played straight, as he's still relatively healthy and active over 40, though the average lifespan of a housecat is 12-14 years, and the oldest cat ever recorded lived for 38 years. | |

In DuckTales (2017) ducks are actually born from eggs which has a surprising amount of plot relevance, because it means Della has never seen her sons alive in person. This drama obviously wouldn't be possible if they were born alive like humans are. | |

In Our Shadow takes place in a world where Animal Is the New Man and many species have evolved a humanlike body structure, but their lifespans still remain closer to what they were originally. Few animals live longer than a decade, and rats are said to have a lifespan of around seven years. Using a device known as the Neural Flare can extend one's lifespan as a side-effect, and this is how Emperor Schorl has managed to live several times longer than most rats. | |

Tamberlane: Aging isn't addressed in the main comic so far (2022), but mentioned at cast pages and Patreon extras. Humanoid animals mature 20-30% faster, more so at younger ages. Belfry's late teens equals human mid-twenties. Tamberlane's 3-4 human years equals animal 2-3. | |

Surprisingly averted in Dora the Explorer. A Christmas episode shows that Swiper, Boots, and several of the animals are the exact same age. Boots is a child, Swiper is an adult, and the others are varying degrees of vague. When they go into the future less than six years Swiper, who is a fox, is a senior while Boots the Monkey isn't even a teenager yet. | |

This isn't mentioned, but it's strongly implied in Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. In the pilot, when Gadget is added to the group, it's mostly because she is the daughter of a friend of one of the protagonists, and she is the only one who can fly his plane now that he is dead. It is mentioned that said friend and protagonist fought together in "The Great War", which seems to be an expy war for World War II. For any of this part of the pilot to work, either: a) Gadget was born about a decade or so after the real actual WWII, making her actually anywhere from 20-30 something at the time of the pilot b) The Great War isn't an expy for WWII, but a more recent conflict such as Vietnam, and Gadget is actually 12, and demonstrating a "puberty = adulthood" trope c) Gadget and every other animal is aging just like they should, The Great War happened in the past 3 or 4 years, is not an expy for any human war, and is an expy for a covert black ops action instead d) It's not the late 80's in the show As all the visual evidence, parody, and inferences point to a) (right down to the plane they fly), and in the show, it's clearly the late 80's, this trope has to be in play. Also of note is that Monterey Jack references surviving things that supposedly happened decades ago in his long rants about the past (braving the "Great Blizzard of '38" for example). How truthful they are varies, however. |

Bug Fables justifies this trope as part of the Anthropomorphic Transformation brought upon by the "Great Awakening". Notably, the lifespans seem to be increased proportionally; termites still live longer than ants, and the queens are implied to live for even longer than that, with the Ant Kingdom innkeepers having gone through several generations in the time it took for a single change of Ant Queen. | |

In every TMNT incarnation, the Turtles are Uplifted Animals that are aging like humans (such as how they are fifteen and act like American teenagers). Master Splinter depends on the writer: if he's a mutated human, then he's still aging like a human despite looking like a rat. However, if he's an Uplifted Animal like the Turtles, then he's a rat who's natural lifespan has been extremely extended. note While Splinter's canon age is rarely (if ever) stated, most rats only live to be a year or two. | |

The birds of Hatoful Boyfriend are all uplifted, large and sentient. They grow up somewhat more slowly than normal birds, but faster than humans. Yuuya mentions that doves hit sexual maturity before they're a year old. They also live longer than normal birds but still have shorter lives than humans, though it's never said just how long. Normal pigeons in good conditions can often reach fifteen years of age, but there are reports of individuals reaching forty. | |

While canon Sonic the Hedgehog material treats the characters as if they age like humans, the American Sonic the Hedgehog Bible featured a version of this where Sonic didn't age like an actual hedgehog, but also didn't age like a human either.

Inverted in Nekopara as a case of Animallike Human Aging — all catgirls grow and age like their real life counterpart. The most absurd example goes to Coconut; being a Maine Coon, she has the body of an adult woman despite being one year old. | |

Inverted with Warhammer 40,000's Space Wolves, who undergo Animal-like Superhuman Aging: As they grow older, Space Wolves gain wolf-like characteristics thanks to a mutation of their geneseed: their hair grows gray (from its original black, blond or red), their canine teeth grow more prominent, and their eyes turn gold. Some even go too far, becoming animalistic Wulfen. | |

In All Hail King Julien, the Grumpy Old Man lemur is implied to be in his 20s, which would be an appropriate age for an old lemur, who have been known to live to their 30s. Meanwhile, Mort implies that he could be as old as 50, which is remarked upon by Julien to be an excessively high age for a lemur. | |

Minecraft: Kittens, both ocelot and cat note Cats ingame are the domestic forms of ocelots (or were, prior to the 1.14 update), whereas real life cats are domestic Near Eastern wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica), are born with their eyes open and with their genetically predetermined eye color (green for the black tuxedo and ginger tabby cats and blue for the seal point Siamese cats) already showing, making them literal Three-Month-Old Newborn kittens. Real cats/wildcats open their eyes at seven days and their adult eye color appears at as early as six weeks. |

Inverted in Claro de Luna, Octavia (a pony) died of old age at twenty-six. This accentuates the Mayfly–December Romance between her and the millenia old Luna. In canon, ponies are shown to age comparably to humans. | |

The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic A Mighty Demon Slayer Grooms Some Ponies zig-zags this. In the ancient era, Ponyland's ponies age like horses (a pony remarks that an eleven-year-old human is "two in pony years"). Over the next several thousand years (by the Friendship is Magic era) they become much more humanlike, including having a human lifespan and aging at a human pace. | |

Averted in Warrior Cats. Aside from a few inaccuracies, they age and develop just like real cats do. The exceptions to the lifespan rule are the clan leaders, who have nine lives. They measure the ages of kittens in "moons", with the kittens being promoted from "kits" to "apprentices" at six moons old (equivalent to a pre-teen human child). | |

Justified in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in regards to Scabbers, Ron's pet rat that had been alive for at least 12 years and had belonged to Ron's older brother before him. Ron is told by a magical pet shop owner that a plain country rat such as Scabbers generally doesn't live more than a few years, but of course it's revealed that Scabbers is really Peter Pettigrew, a traitor and presumed dead wizard in disguise. | |

The lifespan part of this trope is averted with Brian Griffin the dog from Family Guy as occasional references are made to his age (seven) and longevity. Also, Peter also addressed the fact that Brian will only live a fraction of the time Peter will. | |

It's justified in the case of The Secret of NIMH, where the rats and mice who were experimented on at NIMH were given long lifespans. It's mentioned that Johnathan Brisby would have far outlived his wife, a simple field mouse, had he not been killed by a cat first. | |

In Cells at Work!, the cells age like the body they protect rather than the short lifespans a real life cell has. In spinoffs, they even match the host body's age: babies get child-aged cells, for example. The short turnaround is acknowledged in-universe, though it's represented as the cell merely getting a new uniform to wear and continuing as normal. | |

In Fantastic Mr. Fox, the characters' ages are often given in fox years. Apparently six fox years is about as long as a normal year; Ash is two years old in non-fox years, but about twelve in fox years (and is about as developed physically and mentally as a twelve-year-old human child). Mr. Fox gives his age as seven non-fox years, which makes him about as old as a forty-two year old human. | |
