Lol, animals in space? Yeah, and I have a pet unicorn. You sure that wasn't a dream after watching Star Fox gameplay and eating too much pizza before bed?

If it's not Bucky O'Hare, which it probs is, check out 'Thundercats' or 'SilverHawks', but they're not primarily animals though. There were a ton of space-themed shows with animal-like characters back in the day.

OMG, 'Bucky O'Hare' was my childhood! Loved that show so much. You've got to check it out again; it holds up surprisingly well.

Sounds like a wild show, never heard of anything like it. Are you sure you're not mixing a couple of different cartoons in your head?

You're definitely recalling 'Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars.’ It was pretty ahead of its time with the whole anthropomorphic animals fighting in space trope. The lizards/crocs you're thinking of are the Toad Empire. And there's a whole bunch of other animal-based characters like a four-armed duck named Deadeye. Shouldn't be too hard to find these days -- try looking for DVDs or streaming services with classic toons.

That def sounds like Bucky O'Hare my dude. It's a classic and had an awesome theme tune to boot. It’s probably on YouTube or some retro cartoon streaming site.

I think the show you're talking about might be 'Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars'. It's this old-school animated series from the early '90s. Bucky's a green rabbit, not a fox, but the space vibe and animal crew are spot-on with what you're describing!

Maybe The Bluffers?

Definitely 'Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars' as folks mentioned. The character design was iconic, with Bucky looking like a mix between a rabbit and a fox. And the lizards? Those were toad troops. This show was ahead of its time with some pretty solid environmental messages, too, buried in the plot about military-industrial complex. Pretty cool how it mixed serious themes with wacky space adventure. You had a good eye for rad shows, my friend.

Green rabbit, space, war? lol u sure u weren't watching some weird anime or smth? sounds way out there xD

I second that 'Bucky O'Hare' guess. The whole series is centered around this parallel universe where a war is going on between the United Animals Federation and the Toads. It only ran for a single season, but I remember those fight scenes with the toads - definitely reptilian, maybe croc-like as OP mentioned? It's a bit of a deep cut from early 90s animation. Used to be on YouTube, you could probably still find the episodes there.

Nah, The Bluffers isn't it, that was more about environmental stuff and not space. I think what you're tlking about sounds a lot like 'Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars.' It's exactly as trippy as you described, with anthropomorphic animals and space battles, plus the main character is a green rabbit tho, not a fox. Worth checking out!
