List of Futurama animals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many different and unique animals appear in the series Futurama. Here is a comprehensive list of all of the futuristic animals.

[edit] Anchovy
The anchovy in the 31st Century is a long extinct animal. Professor Farnsworth tells Fry in "A Fishful of Dollars" that the animal was fished to death in the 2200's, right around the same time Dr. Zoidberg's race came to Earth. In fact, Zoidberg himself exclaims that it was his race indeed who wiped out the anchovy population. At an auction, Fry manages to buy the last known can of Angry Norwegian Anchovies which contains the last anchovies on Earth. By the end of the episode, however, Fry shares the fish with his friends on a pizza, Zoidberg ends up eating the rest. In the same episode, Mom reveals that a single drop of the anchovy's natural oil would be enough to lubricate 10 robots permanently.
[edit] Cow
Amy implies that cows are extinct when Fry says: "This will be the best extinct animal you'll ever eat!" and Amy says: "I don't know, I've had cow."
[edit] Hypno Toad
A rather large toad (similar to a frog) that has its own tv show called "Everyone Loves Hypno Toad", however its ratings have dropped since the third season. Seen in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", at a pet show the hypno toad looks the judges in the eyes, accompanied by a large buzzing noise, and hypnotizes them to declare him the winner immediately.
[edit] Lion That Eats Tofu
A Lion That Eats Tofu appeared in the episode "The Problem with Popplers". It was used as a demonstration from the hippies that animals could be taught to not eat other animals. When shown, the lion appears very malnourished and sick. The lion made no other appearances in the series.
[edit] Lovey Bears
Seemingly extremely cute teddy bear gifts manufactured by Romanticorp, Lovey Bears are actually genetically-engineered animals (it was cheaper to produce them this way). According to the episode "Love and Rocket", they frolic in the Lovey Forest until their first birthday, when the "cuddly-uddliest" ones are chosen and placed on a conveyor belt to a "Bear Hospital" where they are stuffed with fire-retardant "Love Fluff". The advertising states, however, that they are "kissed together out of blanket cloth and magic buttons".
[edit] Nibbler
An animal that Leela found on Vergon 6 in "Love's Labours Lost in Space". A small black three eyed creature in a diaper and cape that has an enormous appetite, and excretes dark matter. He walks like a small monkey and is held like a baby. However Nibbler is part of a superintelligent race (the Nibblonians) that was 17 when the Big Bang happened. This is not known because he protects Earth and Fry from the brains. It is seen but forgotten in "The Why of Fry", "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" and several comics. He also tipped Fry, making him fall into the cryognic freezer that brought him to the year 3000. See also: Nibbler
[edit] Owls
The first appearance of the Futurama owls is in "I, Roommate" at the very beginning of the episode. In the Futurama universe, owls have replaced pigeons in New New York as well as rats; in fact, pigeons, rats, and even mice are all extinct (although this is forgotten by the writers occasionally as rats have appeared in several episodes). The owls feed upon garbage and generally are seen as pests. In the same episode, Hermes Conrad refers to setting up owl traps, the equivalent to rat/mouse traps in the 20th century. The presence of owls as pests may be a reference to then-President George H. W. Bush's statement during his 1992 re-election campaign, that if Bill Clinton and Al Gore were elected, their environmental policies would ensure that "We'll be up to our necks in owls..."[1]
[edit] Penguins
Penguins appear in "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz". They live on a penguin preserve on Pluto.
[edit] Vergon 6 Animals
In "Love's Labours Lost in Space", Leela, Bender, and Fry are sent to the planet Vergon 6 in order to save a collection of animals found nowhere else in the universe:
- Purple Fruit Snake
- Sharktopus
- Chilean Space Bass
- Parasitic Puppy
- Gretchen Mole (a pun on Gretchen Mol)
- Windy Shrimp
- Vampire Slug
- Excommunicated Cardinal
- Four-Legged Mimic
- Molotov Cockatoo (a pun on molotov cocktail)
- Hermaphlamingo
All the animals are saved and put into the hold of the Planet Express spaceship, but Nibbler eats them all. However, when the planet implodes, a few of the animals survive.
