What animal is Pedro Pony?

Pedro Pony is a pony.

Pedro is one of Peppa Pig’s friends from playgroup, and his species is reflected directly in his name. Like the other characters in Peppa Pig, he is an anthropomorphic animal who walks upright, wears clothes and speaks like a person while retaining traits associated with his animal type.

Pedro is recognizable by his black glasses and yellow shirt. He is often portrayed as sleepy, forgetful or late for playgroup, but he is friendly and knowledgeable. He also enjoys dressing up as a cowboy or superhero, which can make his appearance look different from episode to episode.

The main mix-up is with other playgroup friends whose names identify different animals: Zoë Zebra is a zebra, Emily Elephant is an elephant, Danny Dog is a dog and Freddy Fox is a fox. Pedro’s father, Daddy Pony, works as an optician, another detail that reinforces the family’s pony identity.
