What animal is George?

George is a pig.

George Pig belongs to the same animal species as his sister, Peppa, and his parents, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig. Although the characters speak, wear clothes, attend playgroup, and live in houses, the series keeps their animal identities visible through names, appearances, sounds, and species-based family groups.

George’s pig identity is sometimes overlooked because his most memorable character traits involve his toy dinosaur, “Dine-saw,” his blue shirt, and his frequent crying. He is not a dog, rabbit, or sheep—those species are represented by other recurring characters such as Danny Dog, Rebecca Rabbit, and Suzy Sheep. George’s full character name is George Pig, making the answer especially direct.
