Originally averted by Garfield, who mentions on his second birthday that the human equivalent of fourteen, and complains about aging ever since he turned four.In Akamaru's case it can be justified in that he's a fictional breed of ninja dog. At six Akamaru is a sprightly adult but for even small dogs that's nearing the end of middle aged. Large dog breeds tend to have short lifespans. In the final chapter he's very, very old looking but alive over ten years later. As a puppy he rode on Kiba's head, but as an adult Kiba could ride him like a horse. Within not even three years, he hit a huge growth spurt. Akamaru from Naruto is two years old at the start but is still only a small puppy.Human-like Lifespan/Longevity Subversions, Lampshades, and Exceptions: Some examples are animal equivalents of the Three-Month-Old Newborn.Īverting or lampshading this trope is sometimes done as a Furry Reminder. 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. 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. 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.Some examples are animal equivalents of the Three-Month-Old Newborn trope. For example, real-life calves, fawns, lambs, and foals have long legs, so that they can stand shortly after birth and reach to suckle. Human-like Baby Animal Body Proportions: This is when a baby animal is inaccurately given body proportions like those of human babies.Human-like Development Process: This is when an animal character develops in the way or at the pace 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 Aging Process: This is when an animal character shows their age in the way that a human does.For example, a normal year would be seven "dog-years": a two-year-old dog is about as old as a fourteen-year-old human. ![]() 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. 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.
