A Talking Animal (or at least someone who looks like one) is constantly mistaken for another species as a Running Gag. Often, it can be their Berserk Button, particularly if they consider it a Fantastic Slur. This trope often leads to Insistent Terminology or Have I Mentioned I Am a Dwarf Today?. The Trope Namer is Cow and Chicken spinoff I Am Weasel. Not to be confused with I Am Not Shazam. Compare with Son of an Ape, a variant by which comparing humans to other primates is considered insulting. Contrast with the inversion, Ass in a Lion Skin, for when an animal wants to be taken for another species. See Mistaken Ethnicity and Mistaken Nationality when it is happening with humans for ethnicities or nationalities respectively, or Accidental Misnaming when dealing with proper names, or I Am Not Spock when dealing with actors and their characters. See also A Dog Named "Cat", where an animal is named after a species it's clearly not. If it's the viewers that are confusing a character's species, then that's Viewer Species Confusion. Examples |

In The Lost Vikings II, the vikings are joined by a werewolf, Fang; it's a Running Gag after he joins the group to have the vikings mistake his species (or at least make horrible animal puns in his presence). | |

Planet of the Apes: Escape from the Planet of the Apes. Cornelius tells the commission not to call him and Zira monkeys because it's offensive to them. Zira, ever the Politically Incorrect Hero, is also extremely insistent that chimpanzees and gorillas (whom she has something against) are not the same thing. When an orderly refers to Zira's unborn son as a "little monkey", it hits the Berserk Button of an already-very-stressed-out Cornelius, who accidentally kills the guy in a violent outburst. Krull from Tim Burton's version of Planet of the Apes (2001) seriously dislikes being called a "monkey": |

In Sonic the Hedgehog in the Fourth Dimension, an imaginary creature (long story) refers to Sonic and Tails to Sonic as "you and your ilk". Tails replies indignantly, "I'm a fox, not an ilk." The fault is Tails', though, as "ilk" is an infrequently used term used similar to "kind" used to describe similar cohorts. The creature was merely referring to Sonic and Tails as both being real animals. | |

We Are Our Avatars: Kyon once mistook Silver for, of all things, a parrot. Later Hohenheim mistakes him for a parakeet. And mind reading Pikadevil revealed that he believes that he is a hen. His being mistaken for a bird has become a Running Gag. And then the Lost Vikings came along, and mistook him for a platypus, a duck, a swallow, a goat, a cow, and an elephant of all things and later on, he learns that he's 1/16th bird. Klonoa's a Phantomillian; he's not a Mobian, he's not a rabbit, and not a nekomata. |

A Thousand and One... Americas: Chris' pet dog Lon gets upset every time he's mistaken for a different animal. In the third episode, the tribal people who live in of the Valley of Mexico repeatedly mistake him with a coyote. Considering that dogs were a rare sight for the majority of pre-Columbian civilizations of Mexico in Real Life (the main exception being the Mayans, which usually ate them as part of their diet), the confusion is understandable. | |

The Simpsons: In one episode, Bart and Lisa are rescued by a clan of hillbillies. The patriarch claims that he married a bear and started a family with it after wandering away from a school excursion. His (human) wife keeps loudly insisting that "I ain't a bear!" He's so convinced that he responds to everything she says with "Raar raar raar! No one understands you, she-bear!" Grampa Simpson misidentifies the family dog Santa's Little Helper, walking across the room wearing a cone collar, as the lamp trying to escape. |

In one episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), an irate New Yorker named Vic tries to make money from a video he took of the turtles fighting, and throughout the episode he kept referring to them as "Kung-Fu Frogs". Hilariously this is lampshaded when he gets mind-controlled by the Kraang in a later episode, calling them "The ones known as the turtles that I call frogs". |

Lyrical Nanoha: Zafira is a wolf man mistaken for a dog every so often, even from his long-time allies. Technically, he takes the form of a small dog while on Earth, having been convinced by Arf that it's less intimidating than his wolf form. He also prefers to be called a "guardian beast" rather than a "familiar"—an even finer distinction, which Fate's wolf familiar Arf claims to be different only in terminology. Yuuno often appears in ferret form, and is occasionally taken for a familiar. In reality, he's a shapeshifting mage. |

Animaniacs: The Warner siblings aren't based on any real sort of animal, but are often refered to as dogs, cats or monkeys. Not that the Warners seem to mind, as even they don't know what they're supposed to be. Whenever asked what they are supposed to be, they simply reply, "We're the Warner Brothers! (And the Warner Sister!)" Pinky and the Brain are mice, not rats. Defied with Rita and Runt. Runt has a disposition to chase cats, but is too stupid to realize that his friend Rita is one (he thinks she's a dog). It's probably for the best, though. |

Rocko's Modern Life: Rocko is typically mistaken for a beaver. He's also mistaken for a dog once. As he's explained many times, he's a wallaby — "Like a kangaroo, only smaller." He's even been mistaken for a platypus at one point. On the same show, Heffer is often referred to as a cow, and has to correct people that he's a steer. In this case, it's not a distinction of species, but sex; "cow" is the word for a female bovine, even if it's sometimes used for the species as a whole. Technically, he should probably say he's a bull, because Heffer being a steer would mean he was castrated. |

On Sesame Street, Snuffy gets upset whenever he is mistaken for an elephant, to the point where he once sang a whole song about it. After the song, an elephant reveals that a lot of people have mistaken him for a snuffleupagus. That being said, in Dont Eat The Pictures, he's ok with pretending to be an elephant. | |

Discworld: The Librarian of Unseen University (who is an orang-utan) gets very upset when people call him a monkey. Typically, he expresses it by hanging them by their ankles and banging their head against the floor. They fear to just say the word monkey, when trying to tell someone not to call him a monkey.... The word orang-utan is said to be a BhangBhangDuc (the Disc's Borneo, one presumes) word meaning "definitely NOT a monkey". The exceptions are in Soul Music, where Glod thwarted a prank by UU students with "These boys called you a monkey. I'd make them feel sorry, if I were you...." and in Lords and Ladies, where Weaver manipulates the extremely dim Carter into using the M-word. The Librarian pats Carter on the head and pours him a drink (Aw). Later that night an "unknown assailant" drops Weaver off the bridge into the Lancre River. The short and wiry Nobby Nobbs of the City Watch requires a document signed by the Patrician certifying that he's human (even then, what it technically says is that the balance of probability is that he's human) to convince some people. Even Death, masquerading as the Hogfather, is unable to determine what species he is. Going by the later books, he may very well have had a goblin in his ancestry. The Nac Mac Feegles also insist that they are not the generic "gnome", but "Pictsies", and the spelling is also important: They are not "pixies". |

Inuyasha: In the episode "The Mysterious, Lecherous Monk" , Inuyasha and Miroku persist in referring to a weasel demon as a "raccoon dog" (tanuki) even when he tries to remind them that "I'm a weasel, dang it!" This despite the fact that one of Miroku's oldest friends (and frequent accomplices) is a tanuki, so you'd think he'd know the difference. It's also a Running Gag that Shippo is constantly mistaken for a tanuki or a squirrel, leading to him saying "I'm a kitsune!" (i.e. a fox). From a different episode: In another episode, the gang have to fight a tribe of panther demons. Much to them, and their more human like leaders' anger, the main characters often call them cat demons. In one of the episodes with the Thunder Brothers, Shippo transforms into a bow. Kagome thinks he turned into a snail... |

The Muppet Show: In the episode with ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, his dummy Charlie McCarthy sees Kermit the Frog and tells Bergen, "Call the janitor, there's a toad loose in the theater." Kermit corrects him, explaining that "frogs are handsome, debonair and charming, while toads are ugly and give you warts." McCarthy then backtracks himself: "I guess the toad is supposed to be here." The King from the Muppets' rendition of "The Frog Prince" kept making the same mistake about Kermit's little nephew Robin. |

When the party runs into Collette, a hero of the previous game, she promptly starts referring to Tenebrae as a "doggie", much to his annoyance. When he requests a name more appropriate of his power and dignity, he is instead titled "Mr. Doggie." | |

Gamora repeatedly calls him a rodentnote though about all a raccoon and a rat have in common is that they're placental mammals; raccoons are in the same order as dogs and cats. Humans are more closely related to rodents, much to his annoyance. What's notable about Rocket is that in the comics, "Raccoon" is his surname, but he's only known by the name "Rocket" in the MCU. And because he's not from Earth, he doesn't know what a raccoon is and dislikes being called one. | |

Continued even further and finally resolved in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, with events such as Gamora dismissively calling him a badger. Then, towards the end, Rocket finds the cage he was taken from before the High Evolutionary uplifted him...with a little panel identifying the species within as Earth raccoons, prompting him to finally get over it and start going by "Rocket Raccoon". | |

She is quick to correct him (doubling as a small Comically Missing the Point moment from Phoenix's perspective). Another instance, this time directed at Phoenix. Fluttershy, as her name implies, does not speak to anyone she doesn't know personally (preferring the company of animals), but immediately opens up to him upon learning his first name and assuming that that was his species. He also mistook Rainbow Dash with an earth pony in another opportunity; she didn't take that one lightly. |

Peter calls him a trash panda, Ego calls him a triangle-faced monkey, Nebula calls him a fox, Yondu calls him a rat, and Mantis calls him a crabby puppy. The gag continues in Avengers: Infinity War, with Thor calling him a rabbit throughout the film. Initially confused, Rocket doesn't seem to mind that shortly after. Continued further as Avengers: Endgame reveals that all Asgardians apparently think raccoons are rabbits. Continued even further and finally resolved in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, with events such as Gamora dismissively calling him a badger. Then, towards the end, Rocket finds the cage he was taken from before the High Evolutionary uplifted him...with a little panel identifying the species within as Earth raccoons, prompting him to finally get over it and start going by "Rocket Raccoon". |

A quite literal example in BNA: Brand New Animal: Marie Itami insists that she is not a weasel, she is a mink! Inverted with main character Michiru Kagemori, who insists that she's a raccoon, not a tanuki. Everyone else is quick to point out, even before she starts delving into magical shapeshifting ala mythical tanuki, that she's obviously in denial. She's adamant about this due to hating tanukis when she used to be human. |

A running gag in Doraemon: when someone first meets Doraemon, they think he's a tanuki. This makes Doraemon really mad since he's a robotic cat without ears, and on those occasions he literally spells out this trope by name. To the point that when he, Nobita, and Shizuka gets held captive by bird soldiers in the movie Doraemon: Nobita and the Winged Braves, Doraemon cries in joy because the soldier correctly identified him as a cat. | |

Blinky tries to explain to her that he's actually a koala, which just freaks her out even more, exclaiming "And it talks too!" And with that, she faints. It becomes a Running Gag for the remainder of the episode every time she encounters him. | |

In Jewelpet (2009), it's a Running Gag that Aqua, a clownfish Jewelpet, keeps getting mistaken for a goldfish. He does not take kindly to this. (Ironically, his Verbal Tic of saying "-gyo" at the end of every sentence derives from "kingyo", which is Japanese for "goldfish".) This trait still applies to him in Jewelpet Twinkle☆. But in addition to it, whenever Labra (A polar bear Jewelpet) is in the human world, she is sometimes mistaken for a dog, or is called one by Akari to cover up the fact that she's a bear cub. |

In Daughter Nature, Luz is actually a young goddess rather than a mortal human. When she meets Eda, she repeatedly tries to reveal this only to be talked over each time. It takes until she seemingly dies and displays the ability to shapeshift for her to finally have to chance to explain her true nature to Eda and King. When this ends up happening again with Willow and Gus, she concludes that rather than get stuck trying and failing to disclose this information to everyone she meets, it'll be easier just roll with any future misconceptions unless a person directly asks. | |

Possibly the example to beat all others goes to Rufus of Kim Possible, a naked mole rat. Various characters assume him to be a gerbil, bald mouse, nude rat, and mutant vermin, and in one case, an alien genetic experiment.

Mushibugyō, this trope is deconstructed with Kikyou during the Anthill Invasion arc: despite being a moth type insect woman with all that comes with it, she's adamant in referring to herself as a butterfly and becomes angry and vulgar should someone point out that she isn't. However, she's so deluded with being a butterfly that during the final clash against Isshin she blissfully believe she can dodge all his gun shots by fluttering in a confusing, graceful pattern like butterflies do... while in truth, she really can't, leading to her demise. | |

Mulan: There is some confusion when Mulan meets Mushu for the first time, hence the page quote. He's just not the size you'd expect for a dragon. Mushu himself calls Mulan's horse Khan a cow until the Darkest Hour, where he accuses him of really being a sheep. |

Cow and Chicken and its spinoff/Trope Namer, I Am Weasel: Cow is often called by the Red Guy various hoofed mammals like a moose, a horse, or an antelope while Chicken is called other farm birds like a turkey or a duck. Weasel is often mistaken by other characters (particularly the Red Guy) as various rodents, such as a squirrel, a gerbil, or a hamster (weasels aren't even rodents). Baboon is mistaken for various other kinds of primates like a gorilla or an orangutang. |

One Piece's Tony Tony Chopper is frequently mistaken for a tanuki/raccoon-dog in his hybrid form and a yeti (at least once) in human form. His real form is that of a small anthropomorphic reindeer. Franky has also referred to him as a "Gorilla" and even "Gorilla-Deer" when he realizes he's a Devil Fruit user. In Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island, the Tearoom Pirates and the Baron mistake him for an otter. Constantly having to correct people has really started to piss him off. | |

Happens at least once in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness with Fung, the leader of the Croc Bandits. In the episode, "Good Croc, Bad Croc", Po and Fung are playfully insulting each other for how lame they are, until Po calls Fung a “moron alligator�, causing Fung to sternly tell him that he's a crocodile, even pointing out that his snout is "totally different" from a gator's. | |

Jak and Daxter: Daxter has been referred to as everything from a muse (sparky yellow cat-things) to a muskrat, though he asserts he is, in fact, an ottsel. In an inversion of the trope name, though, he is, in the most literal sense, a weasel: an ottsel is an otter/weasel hybrid, which are both members of the family Mustelidae. Played straight in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, where Clank from Ratchet & Clank calls Daxter a weasel creature. This seems to be Daxter's Berserk Button, as it is what eventually leads to Jak and Ratchet battling. |

In Doctor Who, several species of aliens resent being described as looking like Earth animals (or, in the case of the Sontarans, boiled potatoes). The Vinvocci resemble cacti, but object being referred to as such by the jubilant Wilf (and the Doctor, who actually is just correcting Wilf's grammar after Wilf calls them "cactuses"), calling the choice of terminology "racist". They also dislike being mistaken for Zocci, who look similar to them but are short and red instead of tall and green. The Abzorbaloff resents Rose mistaking it for a Raxacoricofallapatorian. The Doctor can get a bit tetchy when people tell him he looks human. |

In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, it's common knowledge that nobody ever should call a Bangaa (the reptilian humanoid race of Ivalice) a lizard; that is, common knowledge to everyone but the protagonist, who crashlanded in the world almost immediately before. Said innocent confusion instead leads to Marche almost getting, one would expect, killed. Likewise, upon their first prolonged meeting, Marche confuses Montblanc, a Moogle, for a stuffed animal... The sequel has a Shout-Out where Montblanc manages to prevent Luso from making the same mistake. Luso knew they were Bangaa, but he didn't know how far his insult would hit or his frustration with the Bangaa in-question caused him to speak without thinking. |

The exceptions are in Soul Music, where Glod thwarted a prank by UU students with "These boys called you a monkey. I'd make them feel sorry, if I were you...." and in Lords and Ladies, where Weaver manipulates the extremely dim Carter into using the M-word. The Librarian pats Carter on the head and pours him a drink (Aw). Later that night an "unknown assailant" drops Weaver off the bridge into the Lancre River. | |

At one point in Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, Fred attempts to bullfight a lion. At first he shouts, "Toro, toro!" which causes the lion to look around in confusion, as if to say "Bull? Where?". Fred thinks for a moment, then shouts, "Leo, leo!"note Technically, he should be saying "león" but given that he was in a Roman Colosseum-like virtual world at the time, shouting "leo" would have been more appropriate than "león", but eh, details | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Half-Dog Demon Kotarô usually prefers to call himself a lone wolf. Chamo, from the same series, is an ermine. Negima!? (second season) combines this trope with Running Gag and Insistent Terminology when the girls of class 3-A refer to him as a rat. note He has a right to be upset. Rats and ermines aren't even the same species. |

Tangled: Flynn keeps referring to Rapunzel's chameleon sidekick Pascal as a frog. Probably deliberately to annoy/insult Pascal, since Flynn really doesn't like him at first and is trying to get rid of Rapunzel and Pascal. In the series, when they first met, Rapunzel calls Pascal a frog, not out of meanness, but youthful naivete. |

In The Tick, Arthur's white moth costume, complete with long thick antennae, is confused for a rabbit. Speak, the "dog" that The Tick rescued in South America, was actually a capybara (described by his vet as "a giant rat"). Tick makes the mistake of calling Speak a dog one more time while bathing him, but profoundly apologizes for the mistake and assures Speak that he respects his "lifestyle choice." |

The Cat Who... Series: Eddie Trevelyan, who's working on Polly Duncan's house in book #17 (The Cat Who Blew the Whistle), refers to Koko as a weasel a couple of times. There are also a couple other instances in which Koko and Yum Yum are mistaken for animals other than cats, due to the somewhat unusual appearance of Siamese in comparison with the types of cats people are used to, particularly at a distance. | |

In the sixth Artemis Fowl book, Opal consistently mistakes the lemur for a monkey, to which Artemis always responds that it's a lemur. This becomes a plot point at the end, when Artemis switches the lemur for a stuffed monkey when Opal isn't looking. On the bright side, she finally says "lemur." | |

Mighty Max: Virgil is constantly referred to as a chicken. ("Fowl, actually.") Which makes it even more confusing since Virgil has revealed more than once that his race is in fact the next evolutionary stage of mankind. So somehow humans managed to evolve from bipedal primates into a class whose fossil record indicates they should have evolved from therapod dinosaurs? There was also an episode with Beetle Brow with a running gag of "Bug." "Beetle." "Whatever!" |

In the Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers episode "Out of Scale", "Ratso" Ratskiwatski sends his two thugs out for squirrels for his daughter. They pick up Chip and Dale. None of the humans can tell the difference, and call them squirrels throughout, each time corrected with a "[We're] chipmunks!" from one or both of them. Not that they ever pick up on this... Worth noticing is how Hilarious in Hindsight it is because in most non-english-speaking countries, there is no word for chipmunk (since in those countries there are no chipmunks period), and Chip and Dale are called squirrels in comics and cartoons. In Rescue Rangers, they replaced the gag by having other people call them "mice" and their angry answer being "WE ARE SQUIRRELS!". |
