In the World of Funny Animals, different species have professions based on their stereotypes. Beavers are construction workers, moles are miners, kangaroos are boxers, dalmatians are firefighters, pandas are martial artists, etc. But the animals that take up the nautical professions tend to be semi-aquatic. Naval careers, such as sailors and pirates, are often taken up almost entirely by semi-aquatic species such as ducks, loons, seabirds, otters, seals note puns about Navy SEALs may or may not result, turtles, frogs, and crabs. The octopus and squid also tend to take up naval careers. While squids are fully aquatic, some octopuses have been observed crawling around on land for short periods of time. Even when other animals are present in the crew, the captain is still usually one of these. This is likely because these kinds of jobs are done at sea, but not underwater most of the time. Sub-Trope of Animal Stereotypes and Animal Occupation Stereotypes. Instances where a Pirate Parrot takes the form of a pirate don't count, since parrots aren't actually seabirds. Same thing can be said with merfolk, since they aren't real-life animals. Examples involving crabs (the invertebrates most prone to this trope) are likely to cross over with Penny-Pinching Crab, because of Pirate Booty, of course. See Rabbit Magician for an animal with a more fantastical (or fantastic-seeming) occupation or profession. See also Captain Fishman. Examples |

In Beyond the Western Deep the otter-like Lutren are one of the two races of Sunsgrove known for their seafaring. Though the other, more piratically-bent, species, the Polcan, are more like ferrets. | |

Redwall: The majority of otters are sailors or fishermen. The leaders are typically known as "skippers", a term usually referring to the captain of a boat or small ship. In addition to the aforementioned otters there are also many 'Sea Rat' pirates (while rats are not generally found in water they are still excellent swimmers), and the Guosim shrews (who are basically a band of nomadic riverboat sailors) are probably supposed to be Eurasian Water Shrews. Marlfox has the Riverhead tribe, made up of Irish-accented watervoles who keep a number of small boats and are shown to be good sailors. One of them (Burble) joins the heroes on the quest after the Riverheads unwittingly (and unwillingly) provide the heroes with a boat when Burble steals it (the heroes had traded a jewel for it, but Burble stole both from their selfish self-appointed leader before he could double-cross them). |

The Water Rat (vole) in The Wind in the Willows loves messing about in boats. Toad is a subversion; he's initally introduced in a boat, but he's not very good at it and quickly passes over it for new hobbies. While these animals stay on the river, the Sea Rat is a grizzled old sailor who has travelled across the world in ships. | |

Pirate101 features the full spectrum of this principle in it's anthropomorphic characters. There are frog smugglers and pelican fishermen, playing it straight, but there are also pirates who are completely aquatic, such as sharks and crabs. But it's not an exclusive rule, and you'll find sailors of all races, from rodents and dogs to monkeys, and even unicorns. Of course, since it takes place in a World in the Sky, there's no reason it would seem especially attractive to species with an affinity for water. | |

Animal Crossing: Gulliver is a seagull who is also a sailor. Kapp'n is a sea turtle (though he's a kappa in the original Japanese release) who takes the player to nearby islands with a boat. He also speaks in sailor slang (as does the rest of his family). Animal Crossing: New Horizons introduces Gullivarr, Gulliver's Identical Stranger who is also a seagull, but unlike him, he's a pirate. |
