Frequently, people will associate an animal with the secondary sexual characteristics only found in one sex (no, not those -- usually), and end up applying them to both sexes. This leads to a lot of Viewer Gender Confusion when you see male "cows" with udders, female "peacocks" with trains, male kangaroos with pouches, red female cardinals, lionesses with manes, blood-drinking male mosquitoes, and so on. Barring the theory that perhaps these characters are meant to be transvestites, we have to assume they Did Not Do the Research. Examples of Animal Gender Bender include:
