They are located in [[level]]s with an [[Animal Friend]], and their only purpose is to prevent them from crossing it, oftentimes at the end of a level. |

|
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', crossing a No Animal Sign may turn the Animal Friend into an object that leads to a collectible, such as a [[Steel Keg]] meant to throw behind a [[Koin]], or even a [[Bonus Barrel]]. [[Nibbla]] also has its own sign in [[Fish Food Frenzy]], but unlike the Animal Friends, it stops at the sign and does not move past it. In [[Krack Shot Kroc|Krack-Shot Kroc]], a metallic version of a No Animal Sign represents the end of [[Kroc]]'s range, with the beginning being marked by a regular triangular warning sign. | | In its ''Donkey Kong Country'' appearances, the corresponding Animal Friend is depicted on the No Animal Sign, with a red no symbol over it. In the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series, every sign only depicts the no symbol. |
|
| |
|
| In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', No Animal Signs no longer spawn rewards when crossed. Some levels have an Animal Friend without a corresponding No Animal Sign. This means that the Animal Friend can reach and activate the [[Level Flag]], but it is still unable to access the following level. Additionally, in the [[toboggan]] levels, No Animal Signs are featured in the form of '''"No Sled" signs'''.<ref>{{cite|date=December 1997|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Nintendo Power'' volume 103|page=86}}</ref>

| | The Animal Friend disappears if the [[Kong]]s ride it past a No Animal Sign, otherwise, if it emerged from an [[Animal Barrel]], it transforms back into the Kongs. The Kongs are usually rewarded with an [[item]], such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. The rewards usually improve based on the level difficulty. There are a few instances where crossing a No Animal Sign reveals a [[DK Coin]]. |

|
| No Animal Signs do not appear in the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', so [[Donkey Kong|DK]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] can finish a level with their mounted Animal Friend. However, it cannot proceed to the next level with the Kongs. This is also the case in its modern sequels, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. Additionally, while No Animal Signs do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Rambi and Enguarde transform back into their respective Kong, DK and Lanky, if they go outside their intended region. Before this occurs, a red no symbol displays on-screen, as well as a sound effect of [[King K. Rool]]'s laughter.
