a feeling that one is in the body of the wrong species
Alyssa: I told the shrink that I feel like a wild animal trapped in a human body, and she said it sounds like classic species dysphoria.
Jacques: I know I was meant to be a dolphin. Why did I end up a sexy human instead?? Species dysphoria sucks.
Jerry: If only I'd been born a bird, I wouldn't have to spend so much money on flying, parachuting, hang-gliding, sky-diving and base-jumping. Damned species dysphoria.

Similar to that of Gender Dysphoria however, this is more related to the overwhelming feeling that one may get when they don't even feel like they're supposed to be human. Like those of us that feel closer to certain animals and compare these hairless, heavy bones of humans inferior to said creature.
Girl 1: "I haven't told my bf yet about my species dysphoria."
Girl 2: "I hope he understands."

A mental illness wherein, you think you are a different species. This usually means loudly stating you are said animal every opportunity you get, being obsessed with anime, asking people to pet you, and talking in a cutesy manner. Almost exclusively wolves, foxes, horses, cats, and bunnies, and other cute mammals.
Notably, none of these individuals have enough confidence in their belief to go into the wilderness and live like the animal they repeatedly claim they are.
Tony: Wow what a hard day at work. I can't wait to eat my ice cream and wind down!
Jack: oh, sorry bro, i ate all the ice cream in the freezer.
Tony: UWU I'M A FOX AND IM VERY MAD. I WANT MY CREAMIES! COVER MY FOX FUR IN CREAMIES!
Jack: Oh no, you've contracted Species Dysphoria!
