Tinga Tinga Tales adapts traditional African animal fables. While fables often assign genders to animals, there isn't a universally established canonical gender for every animal character across all variations of these tales. The show establishes the genders of its characters within its own narrative, rather than altering a widely recognized pre-existing gender.
Tinga Tinga Tales is an original animated series from Kenya featuring anthropomorphic animals. There are no human characters, nor is it an adaptation of pre-existing material with established character races, thus no race swaps occur.
