List of Futurama animals
Many different and unique animals appear in the series Futurama. Here is a comprehensive list of all of the futuristic animals.
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.
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. 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.
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
- Windy Shrimp
- Vampire Slug
- Excommunicated Card
- Four-Legged Mimic

All the animals are saved and put into the hold of the Planet Express spaceship, but Nibbler eats them all and causes their extinction.
