Counterparts to both wild and domestic '''animals''' are featured throughout [[Equestria]] in various [[Friendship is Magic animated media|episodes]]. Most of these animals only have incidental roles or appearances. The level of intelligence these animals show can vary, even between members of the same species. Some animals, much like '''ponies''', are also capable of speech or social interaction.
In the ''My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Season 1'' DVD's commentary for [[Winter Wrap Up]], executive Robert Fewkes said "the rule is only the hoofed creatures" can speak in the show (not counting [[Creatures|mythological creatures]]).

==Sapient animals==
These animals – at least one of their species – have shown the ability to talk or the ability to understand complex speech.

===Bear===
[[File:Fluttershy Massaging Bear S2E3.png|thumb|Fluttershy gives a bear a massage]] In [[Party of One]], [[Rainbow Dash]] and [[Fluttershy]] claim that they cannot come to [[Pinkie Pie]]'s party because they have to housesit for a '''bear''' named [[Harry]]. In [[Lesson Zero]], Fluttershy gives a bear a massage, which [[Twilight Sparkle]] mistakes for a fight. The same bear appears in several later episodes and is named Harry in [[Scare Master]]. In ''[[My Little Pony Best Gift Ever]]'', a polar bear briefly appears giving Pinkie Pie a ride to the home of the [[#Reindeer|reindeer]]. Ursas are giant magical bears with transluscent bodies and bugbears are half-insect half-bear creatures.

In the interactive [[Software#Ruckus Reader|Ruckus Reader]] and [[Wikipedia:Barnes & Noble Nook|Barnes &amp; Noble Nook]] [[Merchandise#Storybooks|storybook]] ''Things That Go Bump in the Night'', a different bear appears in the imagination of Pinkie Pie, who refers to it as a "mean bear". This bear uses the [[Creatures#Ursa|ursa minor]] design, resized and recolored to fit the appearance of an ordinary bear.

===Beaver===
[[File:Beavers S3E5.png|thumb|180px|Beavers trying to get through the force field.]] '''Beavers''' appear in [[The Cutie Mark Chronicles]], [[Magic Duel]] and [[Keep Calm and Flutter On]]. Pinkie dresses up as a beaver in [[A Friend in Deed]]. In [[Magic Duel]], beavers help Fluttershy bypass the magical barrier that [[Trixie]] has conjured around [[Ponyville]]. The "Beaver Foreman" is voiced by Lee Tockar, the voice actor for [[Snips]]. In [[Keep Calm and Flutter On]], beavers corrupted by Discord build a dam and flood [[Sweet Apple Acres]].{{clr}}

===Buffalo===
{{See also|List of non-pony characters/Bovines}}
[[File:Buffalo Stampede 1 S1E21.png|thumb|A herd of buffalo running]] '''Buffalo''' (a colloquial term for [[Wikipedia:Bison|bison]]) come into conflict with the pony citizens of [[Locations#Appleloosa|Appleloosa]] in [[Over a Barrel]]. [[Little Strongheart]] and a group of buffalo succeed in preventing [[Applejack]] and her friends from delivering a new apple tree to Appleloosa. According to [[Chief Thunderhooves]], the buffalo have been living in the area for a long time, but the Appleloosan settlers have planted apple orchards over their traditional sacred stampeding grounds. The tension between the two sides escalates to a battle, but the two sides reach a compromise. The Appleloosans cut a track through the orchards so the buffalo can pass through. Little Strongheart, Chief Thunderhooves, and the buffalo tribe appear again in [[Pinkie Pride]] alongside the ponies of Appleloosa, enjoying a party that [[Cheese Sandwich]] had thrown for them.  Twilight accidentally teleports onto a running herd of buffalo in Appleloosa in [[Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2]].

The buffaloes are analogues to [[Wikipedia:Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] tribes, having similarly decorated tents and wearing feathers on their heads. [[Spike]] says that they are respectful to [[dragons]].

[[Discord]] transforms several buffaloes into ballerinas in [[The Return of Harmony Part 2]].

Some buffalo are seen laughing at young [[Trouble Shoes]] in a flashback in [[Appleoosa's Most Wanted]].

In {{comic|f1}}, one of the judges of the pie contest is a female buffalo, [[List of non-pony characters#Big Angie|Big Angie]]. On {{comic|19}} [[:File:Comic issue 19 page 3.jpg|page 3]], Twilight notes the absence of the buffalo tribes in an [[Equestria (Reflections storyline)|alternate Equestria]]. A buffalo named Buffy also appears in {{scomic|51}}.

A buffalo also appears in the [[My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games/Deleted scenes#Bloopers|gag reel]] for ''[[My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games]]'' as one of [[Fluttershy (EG)|Fluttershy]]'s many animal friends. Chief Thunderhooves, Little Strongheart, and "Serious Buffalo" are characters in Gameloft's [[My Little Pony (mobile game)|mobile game]], with Serious Buffalo serving as an enemy minion during the "[[Convocation of the Creatures!]]" event. Serious Buffalo's bio states "This buffalo takes everything seriously -- from stampeding to staring contests to other things that start with 'S.T.'...except for 'standup comedy.'"

'''Cattle''' are a domesticated species in Ponyville. Cows are seen living in a barn in Ponyville in [[Boast Busters]], and males are seen pulling carts in [[Hearts and Hooves Day]] and during the song [[Raise This Barn]] in [[Apple Family Reunion]]. At the beginning of [[Applebuck Season]], Applejack diverts a cattle stampede headed towards Ponyville. Afterwards, a white and brown cow—'''DaisyJo'''<ref>AssetsLicensor.zip. [https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/3mce6e/you_know_that_show_bible_leak_from_a_couple_days/ Archived].</ref>—apologizes to Applejack and explains that her friend '''Moo-riella''' saw a snake which frightened the cows into stampeding. DaisyJo has a [[Wikipedia:Wisconsin|Wisconsin]] accent, referencing the state's well-known dairy product industry, and has almost the same name as G3 Earth pony mare [[mlw:Daisyjo|Daisyjo]].

DaisyJo appears again in [[A Friend in Deed]], with [[Pinkie Pie]] addressing her by name. A white and black cow makes various appearances in [[One Bad Apple]], and two cows appear at the beginning of [[Sleepless in Ponyville]]. Two cows wearing Rainbow Dash masks appear in [[Pinkie Pride]] during [[The Goof Off]]. In [[Slice of Life]], a cow appears in Ponyville, and DaisyJo appears at [[Cranky Doodle Donkey]] and [[Matilda]]'s wedding. In [[Not Asking for Trouble]], Pinkie Pie employs a narrative depicting helpful cows in an effort to convince [[Prince Rutherford]] to ask for help for the [[#Yaks|yaks]]. DaisyJo is also a character in Gameloft's [[My Little Pony (mobile game)|mobile game]]. Her bio states "This smiling steer calls Sweet Apple Acres home. Green grass is her favorite." A pony version of DaisyJo was added in update 10.1. Her bio states "Still tries to avoid stampeding, when she can!"

On {{comic|5}} page 21, [[Pinkie Pie]] mentions "Cowhili" as a language. A group of outlaw bulls and a herd of cows appear in the story arc [[The Good, the Bad and the Ponies]]. Several cows appear during Applejack's film in {{scomic|66}}.{{clr}}

===Deer===
{{See also|List of non-pony characters/Deer}}
[[File:Comic issue 27 Deer.png|thumb|King Aspen, a male deer]]

'''Deer''' are first seen in [[Filli Vanilli]], where a stag and a doe are seen in a fenced enclosure during the pet fair and later as part of the animals adopted by the ponies after the concert.

Several deer appear in the {{comic|27}} and {{comic|28|#28}} story arc [[The Root of the Problem]]. Among their number include [[List of non-pony characters#King Aspen|King Aspen]], the leader of the village and the "Heart of the Forest"; [[List of non-pony characters#Bramble|Bramble]], King Aspen's son; and [[List of non-pony characters#Blackthorn|Blackthorn]]. The deer live in a village called Thicket deep in the [[Everfree Forest]]. There they share a close relationship with the animals and nature, and they use magical potions harvested from the earth and forest plants.

[[Discord]] has a deer antler, and the Great Seedling discussed in [[Going to Seed]] is deer-like in appearance. Deer are also seen in the ''[[My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks]]'' [[My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks/Animated shorts|animated short]] [[Shake Your Tail|Shake your Tail!]] A fawn is also seen during the intro sequence in ''[[My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree]]''.{{clr}}

====Reindeer====
[[File:Reindeer flying over the castle and the School of Friendship MLPBGE.png|thumb|Reindeer]] Magical flying and talking '''reindeer''' appear in the one-hour holiday special ''[[My Little Pony Best Gift Ever]]''. These reindeer appear to use their antlers to perform magic the same way that unicorns do. [[Rainbow Dash]], [[Diamond Tiara]], and [[Silver Spoon]] appear as reindeer in "The Flying Reindeer" segment of the [[IDW comics]]' [[My Little Pony Holiday Special]].{{clr}}

===Donkey===
[[File:Cranky and Matilda left alone S2E18.png|thumb|Cranky Doodle and Matilda.]] '''Donkeys''' are another major species capable of speech and socializing. The first donkeys in the series appear in [[A Friend in Deed]], the first being [[Matilda]], a female donkey living in Ponyville, and [[Cranky Doodle Donkey]], who moves to Ponyville after years of searching across [[Equestria]] for his long lost love. She turns out to be Matilda, and the two reunite. Matilda and Cranky appear in various other episodes since then.

Donkeys appear to be capable of mating with ponies as [[#Mule|mules]] also exist in Equestria.{{clr}}

===Goat===
{{expand}}
[[File:Tie munching goat S2E19.png|thumb|Iron Will's goat assistants]] A '''goat''' appears in Fluttershy's cottage in [[May the Best Pet Win!]], [[Magical Mystery Cure]], [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]], and [[Three's A Crowd]].

Two goats with headsets appear as [[Iron Will]]'s assistants in [[Putting Your Hoof Down]]. They communicate with Iron Will by bleating, not talking. In [[Not Asking for Trouble]], Pinkie Pie employs a narrative depicting distressed goats in an effort to convince [[Prince Rutherford]] to ask for help for the [[#Yaks|yaks]]. Goats appear again in [[Between Dark and Dawn]] and [[The Big Mac Question]].

[[Discord]] has a goat beard and leg. The chimera is a three-headed creature with its hind legs and one of its heads being that of a goat. [[Queen Chrysalis]] transforms into a mountain goat to scale Mount Everhoof in [[Frenemies]].

Goats appear in [[The Good, the Bad and the Ponies]] being ridden by [[King Longhorn]] and the Cattle Rustlers.{{clr}}

===Hedgehog===
[[File:Animal team carrying animals S1E11.png|thumb|Hedgehogs in Winter Wrap Up.]] '''Hedgehogs''' appear in [[Winter Wrap Up]] during [[Winter Wrap Up (song)|the titular song]] and when Fluttershy wakes up the animals for spring. A hedgehog also appears among Rainbow Dash's animals in [[Magical Mystery Cure]] and among Fluttershy's animals in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]]. "[[List of ponies#Lily Longsocks|Lily Longsocks]]"' cutie mark is a hedgehog.

In ''[[My Little Pony The Movie]]'', a talking hedgehog named [[Grubber]] serves [[the Storm King]]. In Enterplay's [[Merchandise#Trading cards|trading cards]], the Storm Guards are identified as hedgehogs, like Grubber, but they differ from earlier-introduced hedgehogs in size and sapience. In ''[[My Little Pony: The Manga - A Day in the Life of Equestria Vol. 1]]'', a story in chapter 4 features Angel as a pirate captain battling hedgehog privateers.

===Horse===
[[File:Applejack and Sunset with a horse EG2.png|thumb]] '''Horses''' are the larger members of the equine subspecies [[Wikipedia:Horse|''Equus ferus caballus'']] which also includes [[Wikipedia:Pony|ponies]], their smaller relatives. In [[The Best Night Ever]], Twilight Sparkle uses a transformation spell to change [[#Mouse|mice]] into horse-like creatures that she refers to as horses. The [[Creatures#Windigo|windigos]] in [[Hearth's Warming Eve]] look more like horses than ponies. The term "horse" has been used in the show in [[Ponies#Nomenclature|a few instances]]. The Cutie Mark Crusaders repeatedly refer to them in the [[Hearts Strong as Horses]] song. In the ''[[My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks]]'' [[My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks/Animated shorts|animated short]] [[Friendship Through the Ages]], [[Sunset Shimmer]] rides a horse during Applejack's verse.

===Human===
{{main|Humans}}
'''Humans''' are a species of sapient beings that appear in the ''Equestria Girls'' franchise.

===Mule===
[[File:Mule thumb S1E04.png|thumb|Not offended by the term "mule"]] A '''mule''' appears in a single shot in [[Applebuck Season]] as a sight gag when Twilight Sparkle chastises Applejack for being stubborn. Unlike other incidental animals in Equestria, this mule is capable of speech. The mule, voiced by James Wootton,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=201211133281617&id=216767748385467|title=James Wootton confirming he voiced the mule in Applebuck Season}}</ref> was able to express the fact that he was not offended by Twilight's statement. He reappears in [[Hurricane Fluttershy]] and [[One Bad Apple]]. Despite Ponyville's local mule's mild mannerisms, mules in Equestria are also capable of performing intellectual tasks, as portrayed by [[Mulia Mild]]'s culinary skills of making chocolate mousse in the form of a lifelike moose in the episode [[MMMystery on the Friendship Express]]. In the [[IDW comics]], another mule, named '''Cranky Doodle Ryan''' according to writer Katie Cook,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5zknmBUfb4#t=1091|title=Bronycon 2013 Comic panel Cook, and Price, and Breckel, OH MY! part 1|date=2013-08|accessdate=2013-09-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/katiecandraw/status/364561370475278336|title=katiecandraw: My ONLY complaint about BronyCon ...|author=Katie Cook|work=Twitter|date=2013-08-06|accessdate=2013-09-04}}</ref> appears in ''[[The Return of Queen Chrysalis#Issue #1|The Return of Queen Chrysalis]]'' on [[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (comics)#Issue #1|''Friendship is Magic'' Issue #1]] pages 17 and 19 and a [[Wikipedia:Hot Topic|Hot Topic]] [[Merchandise#Apparel|T-shirt]].

The term "mule" is used later in the series as an insult. When Rarity is mistreated in [[A Dog and Pony Show]], one of her grievances is for being called a mule. She appears to be deeply offended, genuinely or not, for being called a mule, and likens it to being called ugly. In the cold opening of [[Hurricane Fluttershy]], Rainbow Dash says "Be cool or be mule", this time meaning boring. She then flies down to tell the resident mule "no offense"; he responds with the same "none taken" line as his previous appearance. In [[One Bad Apple]], [[Diamond Tiara]] tells [[Babs Seed]] "too cool for mule, Babs", after which the resident mule lowers a pair of sunglasses he is wearing.

===Pony===
{{main|Ponies}}
'''Ponies''' are the focal animal species in the ''Friendship is Magic'' franchise.

===Rabbit===
[[File:Bunnies hopping around S1E04.png|thumb|180px|Rabbits]] A large number of '''rabbits''' are seen in [[Applebuck Season]] when Fluttershy organizes an annual rabbit census. The census goes awry when [[Applejack]] and [[Winona]] aggressively corner the bunnies, and the frightened bunnies panic and stampede [[Ponyville]].

Fluttershy keeps one bunny, [[Angel]], as a close companion, going so far as to consult him about getting the extra gala ticket in [[The Ticket Master]]. Angel, like other rabbits, seems to be incapable of speech.

When [[Rainbow Dash]] requests a fast pet in the episode [[May the Best Pet Win!]], Fluttershy first suggests a rabbit and says they are "cutesy, wootsie, and quick as can be".

Multiple rabbits appear in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]] and [[Friendship Through the Ages]]. A gray bunny named [[List of non-pony characters#Bernard|Bernard]] appears as part of an acrobatic magic act in [[Viva Las Pegasus]].

On the subscription cover of {{comic|f5}}, two rabbits appear.

===Raccoon===
{{Copyedit}}
[[File:Happy family of raccoons S6E9.png|thumb|180px|Raccoons]] '''Raccoons''' are seen eating the cotton candy in [[The Return of Harmony Part 1]]. Some more raccoons appear in [[Magic Duel]] among the animals Twilight magically levitates. A raccoon appears in the [[My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks/Animated shorts|Rainbow Rocks animated short]], [[Shake Your Tail]], wearing a party hat and blowing on a party kazoo, along with the other animals. A raccoon also appears in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]]. [[Smoky's family|A family of raccoons]], including Smoky, Softpad, and Smoky Jr., almost sabotage the opening of Rarity For You in [[The Saddle Row Review]]. Various members of the same family appear in [[Every Little Thing She Does]], [[Fluttershy Leans In]], [[Get the Show on the Road]], [[Stressed in Show]] (Choose Fluttershy!), [[Fake It 'Til You Make It]], and [[The Big Mac Question]].

===Sheep===
[[File:Sheep S2E5.png|thumb|Applejack herding sheep]] '''Sheep''' are domestic ruminants, and a large herd of them are shown to be kept at the [[Apple family]]'s farm in the episode [[Sisterhooves Social]]. In the episode, [[Applejack]] and [[Apple Bloom]] worked together to round them up back in to their pen; however, it is revealed that sheep (like most hoofed creatures in Equestria) are capable of speech and complain that if the Apple sisters wanted them to go back into their pen they could've just asked. Their request goes unheeded and they are ignored. In [[Dragon Quest]], [[Spike]] hitches a ride on a sheep going up a mountain. 

Tiny ewes of different colors that live in the [[Crystal Empire]] appear in the episodes [[The Crystal Empire - Part 1]], [[The Crystal Empire - Part 2]], and [[Games Ponies Play]]. Several sheep of both varieties appear, making only generic sheep noises, in ''[[Fluttershy and the Fine Furry Friends Fair]]''. The [[The Beginning of the End - Part 1|season nine]] [[The Beginning of the End - Part 2|premiere]] introduces the ram Grogar, who is alleged to be millennia-years old; the season [[The Ending of the End - Part 1|finale]] reveals this to be a guise assumed by [[Discord]]. In [[The Last Problem]] a herd of sheep halts the [[Friendship Express]] due to grazing on its train tracks.

===Yak===
{{See also|List of non-pony characters/Bovines}}
[[File:Yaks dig through the snow even harder S7E11.png|thumb|The yaks of Yakyakistan]] Four '''yaks''', one of them [[Prince Rutherford]], appear in the episode [[Party Pooped]]. Several yaks appear in {{comic|f24}} representing Yakyakistan in the Boffyball Championship Cup. Yaks are also featured in {{comic|f26}} and discussed in {{comic|f28}} and {{comic|37}}. Many adult and young yaks appear in [[Not Asking for Trouble]], and several also appear briefly in [[The Maud Couple]]. In [[School Daze - Part 1]], a yak named [[Yona]] is enrolled as a student at the [[School of Friendship]]. Additional yaks appear in various other episodes, [[Wings Over Yakyakistan]], ''[[My Little Pony Best Gift Ever]]'', [[Convocation of the Creatures!]], {{comic|p5}}, and {{comic|n2}}.

[[List of non-pony characters#Bright-Eyed Yak Calf|Bright-Eyed Yak Calf]], [[List of non-pony characters#Decorated Yak|Decorated Yak]], [[List of non-pony characters#Fluffy Yak Calf|Fluffy Yak Calf]], Future [[Yona]], [[List of non-pony characters#Horwitz|Horwitz]], [[List of non-pony characters#Mighty Yak|Mighty Yak]], [[Prince Rutherford]], [[List of non-pony characters#Tenacious Yak|Tenacious Yak]], [[List of non-pony characters#Yak Friendship Student|Yak Friendship Student]], [[List of non-pony characters#Yakmina|Yakmina]], Yona, [[List of non-pony characters#Yona's Grandma|Yona's Grandma]], and [[List of non-pony characters#Yona's Grandpa|Yona's Grandpa]] are characters in Gameloft's [[My Little Pony (mobile game)|mobile game]]. {{clr}}

===Zebra===
[[File:Zecora 'I can mix a brew' S4E14.png|thumb|[[Zecora]]]]
A '''zebra''' named [[Zecora]] is a recurring character in the show.

A fan-designed [[Merchandise#WeLoveFine|WeLoveFine T-shirt]] depicting a host of non-Hasbro characters shows a zebra pony mare along with two half-pony '''zebroids''', one of them a half-[[Earth ponies|Earth pony]] mare and the other of them a half-[[Pegasus ponies|Pegasus]] '''zony''' stallion, as described by Samantha Bragg, the artist of the T-shirt design, in posts on DeviantArt.{{cn}}

A young zebra named [[List of prose ponies#Razzi|Razzi]] appears in the [[Wikipedia:e-book|e-book]] version of the [[Chapter books|chapter book]] ''[[Pinkie Pie and the Rockin' Ponypalooza Party!]]''.

''[[Rainbow Dash and the Daring Do Double Dare]]'' introduces a zebra antagonist named [[List of non-pony characters#Braze|Braze]].

In ''[[The Journal of the Two Sisters]]'', princesses [[Princess Celestia|Celestia]] and [[Princess Luna|Luna]] encounter a zebra land beyond the [[Everfree Forest]]. The citizens there are shown to speak in rhyme just as Zecora does. One of them explains to Celestia that they were once invaded by manticores and they conjured up protective shields to defend themselves. Since then, they have made the zebra land forbidden.

Zebras are mentioned in {{comic|28}}, with their potion-based magic being compared to that of the [[#Deer|deer]] of Thicket. A Zebra Temple is mentioned in {{comic|f32}}, which also depicts [[List of comic ponies#Queen Parabola|Queen Parabola]], an [[Alicorn]] with zebra stripes. In {{scomic|89}}, the start of the IDW comics' "Season 10" run, Zecora travels to [[Locations#Farasi|her homeland]] with Applejack, [[Rockhoof]], and [[Tempest Shadow]], where they meet Zecora's old best friend - another zebra named [[List of non-pony characters#Marini|Marini]]. Various other zebras-including [[List of non-pony characters#Prince Abraxas|Prince Abraxas]]-appear in subsequent issues.

In {{comic|a14}}, various zebras appear including [[List of non-pony characters#Skye|Skye]] and her mother [[List of non-pony characters#Mariama|Mariama]].

==Other animals==
===Bat===
{{For|the seventh [[Friendship is Magic animated media|episode]] of [[season four]] and the [[songs|song]] within the episode|Bats!|Bats (song)}}
[[File:Bats S1E11 thumb.png|thumb|A mob of bats]] After being scared in [[Winter Wrap Up]], [[Twilight Sparkle]] backs into a den before rushing out again, chased by these flying mammals. In [[The Ticket Master]], a surprised [[Pinkie Pie]] squeals about '''bats''' on her face. In [[The Show Stoppers]], artificial bats serve as props for the play. In the episode [[May the Best Pet Win!]], a bat with the same design as some of the ones from [[Winter Wrap Up]] is one of the contestants in [[Rainbow Dash]]'s contest to see who will be her new pet. The [[:File:Comic issue 2 page 22 - map of southern Equestria.jpg|map of the south of Equestria]] from {{comic|2}} depicts numerous bats above a forest, near a monolith. Bats also appear in [[Magical Mystery Cure]]. A bat also appears in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]]. In [[Luna Eclipsed]], [[Princess Luna]]'s cloak is made of bats. [[Discord]] has a bat wing. In the mini-comic included with {{comic|m10}}, Princess Luna considers adopting a bat as a pet. A fictionalized version of [[Creatures#Fruit bat|fruit bats]] appear in the episode [[Apple Family Reunion]] and [[Bats!]]. Special "[[Creatures#Vampire|vampire]] fruit bats" also appear in [[Bats!]].

===Bee===
[[File:Rainbow Dash with bees S4E3.png|thumb|180px|Rainbow Dash covered in bees]] '''Bees''' make several appearances throughout the series, most often associated with a hanging nest. One such nest hangs from the tree that houses [[Golden Oak Library]]. Swarms of bees assault [[Twilight Sparkle]] in [[Feeling Pinkie Keen]] and [[Winter Wrap Up]]. They also chase [[Rainbow Dash]] in the episode [[Fall Weather Friends]]. [[Granny Smith]] can be seen interacting with bees twice in [[Family Appreciation Day]]. She explains that befriending bees gives their honey the right taste as an ingredient for [[zap apple]] jam. The bees also appear in [[The Cutie Mark Chronicles]] during [[Fluttershy]]'s recollection of how she obtained her [[cutie mark]]. In [[Apple Family Reunion]], bees are seen flying out of a beehive [[Pinkie Pie]] is holding. Bees owned by [[Parcel Post]] appear in [[Castle Mane-ia]].

Bumblebees appear threatening the Breezie [[Seabreeze]] when he accidentally flies into their hive in [[It Ain't Easy Being Breezies]]. In [[A Rockhoof and a Hard Place]], a swarm of bees stings [[Zecora]] when [[Rockhoof]] mistakenly gives her a tree with a beehive.

===Bird===
{{See also|List of non-pony characters/Avians}}
[[File:Birds.png|thumb|180px|Blue, red and green jays]] The show depicts a wide variety of '''birds''' living in [[Equestria]]. Some take after real bird species, while others, like the [[Phoenix]], are mythical creatures. They are prominently featured in episodes [[Friendship is Magic, part 1|one]], [[The Ticket Master|three]], and [[Fall Weather Friends|thirteen]]. In [[The Ticket Master]], [[Fluttershy]] specifically names '''loons''', '''toucans''', '''bitterns''', '''hummingbirds''', '''buzzards''', blue '''jays''', red jays, green jays, pink jays, and pink '''flamingos'''. Some birds go south for winter and are brought back by Pegasi during Winter Wrap Up. While birds still lay eggs and raise families, it seems they do not build their own nests, as the ponies are seen building nests for them. It's also likely that they do not find their own food, as Fluttershy is frequently seen feeding animals which are supposedly capable of foraging and hunting for themselves. Fluttershy's astonished (nearly horrified) claim that animals in the [[Everfree Forest]] "care for themselves" in [[Bridle Gossip]] lends credence to this theory that ponies see animals as less than capable of surviving without them. In [[Owl's Well That Ends Well]], [[Pinkie Pie]] presents [[Spike]] with a '''quail'''. A few kinds of birds including a '''falcon''', '''eagle''', '''toucan''', and '''hummingbird''' are shown in [[May the Best Pet Win!]] as potential pets. In [[The Return of Harmony Part 1]], [[Sweetie Belle]] calls [[Scootaloo]] a '''dodo''', which is an extinct, flightless bird. In [[Read It and Weep]], the book [[Rainbow Dash]] reads mentioned '''macaws''' crying from the high trees. One of the pawns in "Rainbow Dash's favorite board game" represented a '''seagull''' in the same episode. Multiple birds appear in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]]. Birds also appear in [[Daring Don't]], [[Filli Vanilli]] and [[It Ain't Easy Being Breezies]]. Birds also appear in {{comic|f5}} and on the issue's subscription cover. A '''seagull''' appears on the beach between Mount Aris and Seaquestria in [[Surf and or Turf|Surf and/or Turf]].

In Gameloft's [[My Little Pony (mobile game)|mobile game]], in-game dialogue mentions egrets, herons, and pelicans.

====Chicken====
[[File:Startled chickens S01E17.png|thumb|Chickens in their coop]] Domesticated '''chickens''' are seen for the first time in the episode [[Fall Weather Friends]]. [[Applejack]] and [[Rainbow Dash]] needed to escort a few baby chickens through the mud pile to the other side as one of the tasks of [[Iron Pony competition]]. In [[Applejack]]'s case, they run away because too much mud was splattering on them, whereas [[Rainbow Dash]] safely carried them while protecting the chickens from mud with her wings. These farmland birds play a more prominent role in [[Stare Master]]. When they refused to go to chicken coop for sleep, [[Fluttershy]] "convinced" them to do so with her stare. Later in said episode, [[Sweetie Belle]]'s loud singing startled the chickens and they started to run away, and both the [[Cutie Mark Crusaders]] and [[Fluttershy]] tried to contain them without success. In [[Owl's Well That Ends Well]], [[Spike]] chases and fights a chicken at [[Sweet Apple Acres]] to get one of its feathers for [[Twilight Sparkle]] to use as a quill. Chickens also appear in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]]. In [[Scare Master]], after being frightened by little foals with fangs, Fluttershy runs away, and the dust she leaves behind takes on the shape of a chicken, as an indication of her cowardice. Cockatrices are winged creatures with reptilian bodies and the head and legs of a chicken.

=====Elizabeak=====
[[File:Elizabeak S1E17 thumb.png|thumb|129px|Elizabeak]] '''Elizabeak''' is one of [[Fluttershy]]'s chickens. She first appears in [[Stare Master]], where she escapes from her pen and ventures into the [[Everfree Forest]] after [[Sweetie Belle]] sings an overly loud lullaby. Sweetie Belle and her friends sneak out of bed and go to find her. She is turned to stone by a [[Creatures#Cockatrice|cockatrice]], and later restored when Fluttershy convinces it to undo what it had done. She also appears in the ''Rainbow Rocks'' animated short [[Shake Your Tail]]. Her name is a pun on the name "Elizabeth".{{clr}}

====Crow====
[[File:Crows come for the third sign S2E12.png|thumb|A murder of crows]] In [[Family Appreciation Day]], it was explained by [[Granny Smith]] that a large murder of '''crows''' herald the third sign of zap apple jam: the appearance of zap apple flowers. This event was depicted in the series as a large flock of crows circling around the orchard during a short period of strong wind and dark-clouded sky, creating an apple-like shape and the blossoms appeared shortly after.{{clr}}

====Duck====
[[File:Ducks flying S1E23.png|thumb|Some ducks flying]] '''Ducks''' are seen in [[Griffon the Brush Off]] as Fluttershy leads them across a road and then bumps into [[Gilda]]. As she starts to insult Fluttershy, the scared ducks run away. They are also seen in [[The Cutie Mark Chronicles]], once again being led across a road by Fluttershy and nearly being hit by [[Scootaloo]] on her scooter. In Fluttershy's flashback in said episode, they are seen hiding in clouds after being startled by the sonic rainboom, and Fluttershy calms them shortly after. Two ducks compete in [[Rainbow Dash]]'s competition in [[May the Best Pet Win!]] Multiple ducks appear in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]].

[[File:Fluttershy has a pink flamingo on her back S1E03.png|thumb|Fluttershy with a flamingo]] A '''flamingo''' is seen in Fluttershy's imagination in [[The Ticket Master]] and in [[The Best Night Ever]], and also as a potential pet for Rainbow Dash in [[May the Best Pet Win!]].{{clr}}

====Goose====
Some '''geese''' are seen flying south in [[Tanks for the Memories]]. Rainbow Dash attempts to steer them in the wrong direction by disguising herself as a goose.

Several geese are used as an alarm for the Canterlot castle throne room by [[Shining Armor]] in [[Sparkle's Seven]].

====Hummingbird====
[[File:Hummingbird high-fiving Rainbow Dash S2E07.png|thumb|Hummingbird high-fiving Rainbow Dash]] A '''hummingbird''' first appears briefly in [[The Ticket Master]] in [[Fluttershy]]'s daydream as one of the bird residents of the royal garden in [[Canterlot]]. Hummingway, one of Fluttershy's many pets, appears in [[A Bird in the Hoof]]. A hummingbird is also a candidate for [[Rainbow Dash]]'s pet in the episode [[May the Best Pet Win!]].{{clr}}

=====Hummingway=====
[[File:Hummingway ID S1E22.png|thumb|120px|Hummingway]] '''Hummingway''' is one of [[Fluttershy]]'s animal friends who appears in [[A Bird in the Hoof]], a hummingbird whom she helps when he gets sick. She introduces him to [[Philomena]], trying to cheer her up, and they seem to take to each other quite well. Hummingway likes to sing with Fluttershy. He appears again in [[Maud Pie]]. His name is a play on the name "Hemingway", the surname of a [[Wikipedia:Ernest Hemingway|famous writer]].{{clr}}

====Meadowlark====
[[File:Meadowlark S1E26.png|thumb|A meadowlark.]] A '''meadowlark''' can be seen in the royal garden in [[The Best Night Ever]], and in Dr. Fauna's clinic in [[Fluttershy Leans In]].{{clr}}

====Owl====
[[File:Owlowiscious turning head S1E24.png|thumb|Owlowiscious, Twilight Sparkle's pet owl.]] [[Owlowiscious]], [[Twilight Sparkle]]'s pet and junior assistant, is an owl. He is introduced in [[Owl's Well That Ends Well]], returns in multiple other episodes and [[IDW comics]], and is featured on a [[Merchandise#Trading cards|trading card]].

In [[Stare Master]], an owl in the [[Everfree Forest]] is shown in the foreground. In [[May the Best Pet Win!]], a similar-looking owl is one of the contestants in [[Rainbow Dash]]'s contest to see who will be her new pet, and an owl with the same design as this owl appears in [[Sleepless in Ponyville]]. An owl with the same design as this owl also appears in [[Magical Mystery Cure]]. An owl with the same design as this owl appears again in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]].

Multiple owls have appeared as [[toys]]. The first owl is included with [[Twilight Sparkle]] in the first three waves of [[Playful Ponies]], and has artwork that is included as a cardboard cutout in other toy sets' packaging. The second owl is included behind flap 4 in the [[Merchandise#Calendars|Advent Calendar]]. An owl is also included with a Crystal Motion Twilight Sparkle.

The only legible text left on the parchment was XHRPPAXLFSVZB.''"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/12/introduction-to-my-little-pony.html|title=Introduction to the My Little Pony Collectible Card Game|work=Equestria Daily|date=2013-12-03|accessdate=2013-12-03}}</ref>

In the mini-comic included with {{comic|m10}}, Princess Luna considers adopting an owl as a pet.

====Parrot====
[[File:S4E14 Unnamed Parrot ID S5E3.png|thumb|100px|A parrot.]] Several parrots appear in [[Filli Vanilli]] and various other episodes.

[[Captain Celaeno]] and her crew are anthropomorphic sapient parrots who appear in ''[[My Little Pony The Movie]]'' material(s). They originate from [[Locations#Ornithia|Ornithia]], a location beyond Equestria, according to ''[[Beyond Equestria: Rainbow Dash Rights the Ship]]''. In the "Season 10" comics, Twilight sends an expedition consisting of Rainbow Dash, Celaeno, [[Spitfire]], [[Lyra Heartstrings]], and [[Sweetie Drops]] to visit Celaeno's home in the Parrot Peaks.{{clr}}

====Toucan====
[[File:Toucan flicks out tongue S2E07.png|thumb|A toucan]] '''Toucans''' reside within the Canterlot garden. A toucan also appears as a pet candidate for [[Rainbow Dash]] in [[May the Best Pet Win!]].{{clr}}

'''Turkeys''' are seen in [[Filli Vanilli]]. Several appear at the turkey call contest, and another is seen with Pinkie Pie.

====Vulture====
A '''vulture''' appears as a pet candidate for [[Rainbow Dash]] in [[May the Best Pet Win!]]. It appears again in [[Magical Mystery Cure]].

====Woodpecker====
[[File:Bird flies out of Pinkie Pie's mane S7E19.png|thumb|A woodpecker]] A '''woodpecker''' flies out of [[Pinkie Pie]]'s mane on the way to Zecora's hut in [[It Isn't the Mane Thing About You]] and makes periodic appearances later in the episode.{{clr}}

===Butterfly===
[[File:Bed of butterflies S1E23.png|thumb|180px|Fluttershy in a bed of butterflies]] Normally seen fluttering around setting shots in most episodes, '''butterflies''' occasionally are used to cover the transition to a new scene. They take a more important role during a flashback in the episode [[The Cutie Mark Chronicles]] in which a swarm of them catches Fluttershy before she hit the ground. A giant monarch butterfly appears as a pet candidate for [[Rainbow Dash]] in the episode [[May the Best Pet Win!]]. In [[Too Many Pinkie Pies]], Fluttershy uses "Butterfly Therapy" to rejuvenate Pinkie Pie's exhaustion with a swarm of butterflies. A butterfly appears in [[Flight to the Finish]].

====Caterpillar====
[[File:Caterpillar prevention S02E13.png|thumb|160px|Applejack preventing a caterpillar from eating an apple.]] Green '''caterpillars''' are larval forms of butterflies. A single one is seen in [[Baby Cakes]] and almost eats an apple on the ground, but [[Applejack]] prevents it just in time. She claimed in said episode that she "gotta get all these apples picked before they get swarmed on", as a large group of caterpillars was said to be headed for the farm.{{clr}}

===Cat===
{{See also|List of non-pony characters/Felines}}
[[File:Fluttershy showing cat to Rainbow Dash S2E07.png|thumb|A "puddy tat" with a blue bow]] '''Cats''' can sometimes be heard yowling in the background in multiple episodes when objects or characters crash offscreen. [[Fluttershy]] holds out a "puddy tat" in [[May the Best Pet Win!]] as a pet suggestion for [[Rainbow Dash]], and a cat of the same design is encountered by [[Daring Do]] in [[Read It and Weep]] amongst actual predatory felines. A cat of the same design also appears in [[Magical Mystery Cure]], notably hissing at Rainbow Dash, while scratching curtains. The cat returns in [[Daring Don't]] and [[Daring Doubt]]. [[Goldie Delicious]] owns several cats in the episodes [[Pinkie Apple Pie]], [[Filli Vanilli]], and [[The Perfect Pear]]. [[Opalescence]], [[Rarity]]'s pet Persian cat, is featured in several episodes. In {{comic|1}} on [[:File:Comic issue 1 page 3.png|page 3]]/Dynamic Forces [[:File:Comic issue 1 Dynamic Forces cover.png|cover RE]], artist Andy Price's six cats '''Sam''', '''Spooky''', '''Tabitha''', '''Boris''', '''Bela''', and '''Mina''' appear throughout the lower half of the scene;<ref name="art">{{cite web|url=http://andypriceart.deviantart.com/art/MLP-FIM-Page-3-issue-1-332168960|title=MLP:FIM Page 3 issue 1|author=Andy Price|date=2012-10-13|accessdate=2012-10-14}}</ref><ref name="andyprice">{{cite web|url=http://andypriceart.deviantart.com/journal/MLP-Issue-1-Sneak-Peek-332170200|title=MLP Issue 1 Sneak Peek|author=Andy Price|date=2012-10-13|accessdate=2012-10-14}}</ref><ref name="aliceprice">{{cite web|url=http://www.catisfactionclinic.com/alice_price.html|title=Alice Price|work=Catisfaction Cat Clinic|accessdate=2012-10-14}}</ref> Sam and Mina share their names respectively with [[List of ponies/Earth ponies/Stallions#Sam|an]] [[Earth ponies|Earth]] [[Ponies|pony]] [[Royal guards|royal guard]] and [[List of non-pony characters#Sam|a]] [[Creatures#Storm Creature|Storm Creature]] and with [[List of non-pony characters/Dragons#Mina|a]] [[Dragons|dragon]].

[[Capper]], [[List of non-pony characters#Chummer|Chummer]], the [[List of non-pony characters#Abyssinian King|Abyssinian King]], and the [[List of non-pony characters#Abyssinian Queen|Abyssinian Queen]] are anthropomorphic sapient cats who appear in ''[[My Little Pony The Movie]]'' material(s) and are characters in Gameloft's [[My Little Pony (mobile game)|mobile game]]. They originate from [[Locations#Panthera|Panthera]], [[Locations#Abyssinia|Abyssinia]], a location beyond Equestria that is inhabited by talking cats which are mentioned in [[The Last Problem]]. Unlike the ancient Anugyptian talking cats such as [[List of non-pony characters#Baast|Baast]] who appear in {{comic|24}} and are referenced in the mobile game, these cats are more like G1 [[mlw:Catrina|Catrina]]. Additional Abyssinians appear in [[Convocation of the Creatures!]], [[My Little Pony: IDW 20 20|My Little Pony: IDW 20/20]], [[Cosmos (story arc)|Cosmos]], and the "Season 10" comics. The Season 10 comics, specifically {{comic|97}}, imply a relationship between the Abyssinian and Anugyptian cats.

[[List of Equestria Girls characters#クローバー|クローバー]] is a green cat.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CXpvVS-PtgN/|title=マイリトルポニー×香川久 新たな魔法少女、誕生！？ プリティーセーラークルー 緑のネコ「クローバー」から託された魔法のバッジを胸に、 CMCの３人はキャンタロットで起こる不可解な事件に魔法探偵として立ち向かう。 https://knowidea.base.shop #m…|author=Knowidea|publisher=Instagram|date=2021-12-18|accessdate=2021-12-20|language=Japanese}}</ref>

===Dinosaur===
[[File:Petunia Paleo pleased with her discovery S6E19.png|thumb|Dinosaur bones in The Fault in Our Cutie Marks.]] '''Dinosaurs''' and dinosaur bones are featured in the season six episode [[The Fault in Our Cutie Marks]] and the [[IDW comics]]. In {{comic|17}}, Princess Celestia and [[Star Swirl the Bearded]] encounter a Tyrannosaurus rex with a cutie mark similar to [[Fluttershy]]'s. In {{comic|24}}, [[Discord]], Fluttershy, and the [[Cutie Mark Crusaders]] visit prehistoric Equestria, which is inhabited by dinosaurs.

In The Fault in Our Cutie Marks, [[Scootaloo]] and [[Petunia Paleo]] unearth a dinosaur skeleton in a sandbox, and Petunia identifies it as a "spiny-backed ponysaurus".

===Dog===
{{See also|List of non-pony characters/Canines}}
[[File:Winona id S3E11.png|thumb|Winona, Applejack's pet dog]] [[Applejack]]'s pet dog, a [[Wikipedia:Border Collie|Border Collie]] named [[Winona]], is the only actual dog featured in the series. Much like the real-world counterpart of a work dog, she is capable of herding farmland animals, cows in this case, aside [[Applejack]] in [[Applebuck Season]]. Unlike the [[Diamond Dogs]], regular Equestria dogs are not able to talk and socialize. In [[Green Isn't Your Color]], Fluttershy barks while acting like a dog under the influence of Twilight Sparkle's magic. In [[Read It and Weep]], [[Screwy]] makes hound-like barking and growling sounds while chasing Rainbow Dash alongside hospital staff. Also in that episode, drawings of dogs are among those in the puzzle Daring Do solves. In [[Three's A Crowd]], [[Discord]] cuddles with a Pekingese during [[Glass of Water]]. [[Ahuizotl]]'s body and head are part canine. In [[Dungeons & Discords]], Discord, Spike and Big Mac briefly play poker with several dogs, in reference to the famous series of paintings.

In ''[[My Little Pony Equestria Girls]]'', [[Spike]] is transformed into a dog as he goes through the portal to the alternate universe; Spike's counterpart in this universe is also a dog.

In {{comic|97}}, two upright walking, talking dogs named Pepper and Salty appear in a flashback.

===Earthworm===
[[File:Baked bads mix S01E04.png|thumb|Earthworms in "baked bads" mix.]] '''Earthworms''' are featured in [[Applebuck Season]] and [[Dragonshy]]. In [[Applebuck Season]], Applejack added some earthworms by having misheard them as "wheatworms" to the "baked bads" she and Pinkie Pie created, which was one of the reasons of food poisoning of plenty of ponies later in said episode. In [[Dragonshy]], Fluttershy tossed a trio of worms to a trio of waiting birds and then, because she carried them in her mouth, spat and blushed.{{clr}}

===Fish===
[[File:Rainbow Dash with fish S2E8.png|thumb|Rainbow Dash with a fish in her mouth.]] '''Fish''' are seen in multiple episodes. In [[Griffon the Brush Off]], two fish are seen poking their heads out of the water and approaching Fluttershy, who is standing on the shore. In [[Dragonshy]], Fluttershy gives several fish to a pair of ferrets for food. In [[Winter Wrap Up]], a single fish is briefly seen leaping over the water in a lake. In [[The Mysterious Mare Do Well]], [[Rainbow Dash]] appears with a fish that accidentally got in her mouth while she was struggling to stay afloat after the breaching of the dam. A single fish appears in [[Sleepless in Ponyville]]. Fish also appear in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2]]. Several fish appear in [[Seaquestria]] in ''[[My Little Pony The Movie]]'' and [[Surf and or Turf]], and Spike is temporarily transformed into a blowfish in the former. In the [[My Little Pirate: Friendship Ahoy|fifth story arc]] of IDW Comics' ''Friendship is Magic'' comic series, Fluttershy nurses a fish named '''Gil''' back to health. She initially keeps him for herself, but in the end she sets him free. In the chapter book ''Under the Sparkling Sea'', some of Aquastria's inhabitants are fish. ''[[Beyond Equestria: Fluttershy Balances the Scales]]'' features several fish, with blowfish being specified.

===Frog===
[[File:Frog on Twilight's face S1E15.png|thumb|A frog on Twilight's muzzle]]Equestria's '''frogs''', which appear in various episodes, seem cheerful and silly.

In [[Feeling Pinkie Keen]], Fluttershy decides there are too many in Ponyville's pond, so she transfers some of them to Froggy Bottom Bogg. Pinkie Pie claims to interpret one of the frogs' croaks for Twilight, though it is unclear whether frogs actually speak. Later, one appears to point the way for Fluttershy.

Frogs also appear in [[The Cutie Mark Chronicles]], [[Too Many Pinkie Pies]], and [[Sleepless in Ponyville]]. Bufogren are large frog-like creatures that inhabit the Hayseed Swamp.

In {{comic|m8}}, a frog is used as a test for [[List of comic ponies#Inkwell|Inkwell]], who is tasked to use her magic to transform it into a "beautiful...less disgusting frog". Inkwell finds that the frog is perfect the way it is, and at the end of the issue the frog becomes Inkwell's pet.

===Lion===
[[File:Apple Bloom wielding whip and chair S2E06.png|thumb|Apple Bloom taming the lions.]] '''Lions''' appear in [[The Cutie Pox]], where a group of them is tamed by [[Apple Bloom]] after her [[Afflictions and illnesses|Cutie Pox]] cause her to receive a lion-taming cutie mark. [[Discord]] has a lion arm. [[Manticore]]s, lion-like creatures with bat wings and scorpion tails, also appear in the series, residing in [[Everfree Forest]].{{clr}}

===Mouse===
[[File:Mr. Mouse and his family S1E22.png|thumb|Mr. Mousey and his loved ones.]] '''Mice''' appear in multiple episodes. [[Fluttershy]] cares for a wheelchair-bound brown mouse she addresses as '''Mr. Mousey''' in [[A Bird in the Hoof]], who is joined by a gray mouse and a white mouse as he wheels into their hole in the wall of Fluttershy's cottage. Four of Fluttershy's white mouse friends [[:File:Mice S1E26.png|appear]] in [[The Best Night Ever]], and Twilight attempts to turn them into horses to pull the carriage. In [[The Last Roundup]], a white mouse snacks on a cherry while sitting on a beam near the ceiling. In [[Putting Your Hoof Down]], one of Fluttershy's white mice briefly takes her box of food pellets from her and eats a large amount of the pellets. Mice also appear in [[Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1]]. In [[Merchandise#Comic book|comic book]] issue #1 on page 3, a brown mouse snacks on a cherry while sitting in a corner, watched angrily by a stallion and hungrily by one of artist Andy Price's [[#Cat|cats]].<ref name="art" /><ref name="andyprice" /><ref name="aliceprice" />

===Pig===
[[File:Pigs running around S1E18.png|thumb|Pigs in The Show Stoppers.]] '''Pigs''' are domesticated mammals who are kept by ponies as pets or farm animals. They first appear in the [[The Show Stoppers]], where the [[Cutie Mark Crusaders]] try to earn their Cutie Marks through different means; one of them tries to feed the Apple family's pigs their slop, but this is clearly not their special talent, despite the pigs being grateful. Pigs reappear in [[The Return of Harmony Part 2]]. When the evil spirit [[Discord]] escapes his stone form and takes over the land, he alters everything in sight, including the pigs, and gives them wings. Luckily, they are returned to normal upon Discord's imprisonment. Pigs appear again in [[Sisterhooves Social]], where they are entered in a special contest of the [[Sisterhooves Social (event)|Sisterhooves Social]] for best pigs; two are seen there belonging to [[Golden Harvest]] and [[Amethyst Star]], and both had won blue ribbons. Pigs also appear in [[One Bad Apple]] and [[Apple Family Reunion]]. In [[Spike at Your Service]], Spike helps Apple Bloom wash '''Piggington''' - a sow that's extraordinarily fat even for pig standards. In [[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (comics)#Issue #2 2|''Micro-Series'' comic book issue #2]] on page 14, [[Applejack]] exclaims "[[Food and beverage|Pork chops and apple sauce]]!" when lightning from the [[Creatures#Miscellaneous|cloud gremlins]]' cloud strikes a tree near her. Even though ponies do not eat meat, [[Lauren Faust]] explains the reason why pigs are raised is because the pigs "needed a place to stay" and might be used for finding truffles.<ref>[[:File:Lauren Faust on the Apple family raising pigs.png|Lauren Faust discussing the presence of pigs in The Show Stoppers]] (archived locally). 2012-04-06.</ref>

===Skunk===
[[File:Skunk on Cranky Doodle Donkey's head S6E15.png|thumb|A skunk on Cranky Doodle Donkey's head in 28 Pranks Later.]] '''Skunks''' are black and white-coated animals known for their ability to spray a powerful stench from their rear ends. [[Twilight Sparkle]] ends her failed attempt to help [[Fluttershy]] in [[Winter Wrap Up]] with getting sprayed by a family of skunks. [[Rainbow Dash]] replaces [[Cranky Doodle Donkey]]'s toupee with a skunk as a prank in 28 Pranks Later. In the mini-comic included with {{comic|m10}},  [[Princess Luna]] considers adopting a skunk as her pet.{{clr}}

===Snail===
[[File:Snail crawling across Twilight's statue S1E17.png|thumb|A snail crawling over petrified Twilight Sparkle]] A snail is briefly seen crawling over the face of petrified [[Twilight Sparkle]] in the episode [[Stare Master]], shortly after the [[Cutie Mark Crusaders]] fell over while escaping the [[Creatures#Cockatrice|cockatrice]]. [[Snails]] has a pink glum-faced snail with a purple shell as his [[cutie mark]]. According to [[Granny Smith]] in [[Pinkie Apple Pie]], a Ponyville snail can hibernate for up to forty-eight [[Moon (unit)|moons]].

On the subscription cover of {{comic|f5}}, two snails appear.

===Snake===
[[File:Snakes S1E11.png|thumb|Snakes woken up by Twilight in Winter Wrap Up]] '''Snakes''' are seen in [[Winter Wrap Up]], when woken up by [[Twilight Sparkle]] while attempting to help [[Fluttershy]]. Snakes are also mentioned in [[Applebuck Season]], when Daisy Jo, one of the cattle, said that Mooriella saw snakes that caused a stampede almost hitting [[Ponyville]]. In [[Griffon the Brush Off]], Granny Smith mistakes Gilda's tail for a '''rattler'''. [[Discord]] has a snake tail. The chimera has a snake head for a tail. The Ophiotaurus is a half-snake half-bovine creature. '''Cobras''' are also seen in [[Read It and Weep]], as obstacles for [[Daring Do]]. Another snake can be seen wrapped around the banister in Fluttershy's cottage in [[Magical Mystery Cure]]. Several snakes also appear in [[Fluttershy Leans In]], including one owned by Fluttershy named Rupert.{{clr}}

===Spider===
[[File:Toy spider transformed into real spider S2E04.png|thumb|Animated toy spider]] '''Spiders''' are seen mainly in [[Luna Eclipsed]]. [[Princess Luna]], angered by Ponyvillians not wanting to socialize with her, transformed multiple toy spiders to living ones with a single magical blast from her horn, causing terror amongst ponies, most of whom proved to be heavily afraid of them. [[Zecora]] also wore some artificial spiders in her hair in said episode. In [[The Show Stoppers]], the [[Cutie Mark Crusaders]] used spider props for their play. Spiders also appear in [[Read It and Weep]] as one of the obstacles [[Daring Do]] encounters, and one of them is shown speaking with the voice of "[[List of ponies#Fuzzy Slippers|Fuzzy Slippers]]" in [[Rainbow Dash]]'s imagination, as he is accusing her of stealing his slippers. Spider cobwebs are also seen in multiple episodes. In [[Castle Mane-ia]], star spiders, spiders with star-shaped patterns on their abdomens, are seen menacing [[Spike]] in the [[Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters]], and on their way out to the castle, [[Fluttershy]] mentions to [[Rarity]] that it is star spider season. In [[Maud Pie]], Fluttershy states that a type of spider unique to Ponyville helps keep other, more dangerous insects away from the forest. In [[Scare Master]], Fluttershy has a pet spider named Fuzzy Legs. In {{comic|2|''Friendship is Magic'' Issue #2}}, different spiders appear on a page reused as the issue's Dynamic Forces exclusive Cover RE.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dynamicforces.com/htmlfiles/p-C120199.html|title=My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #2 DF Exclusive Cover!|accessdate=2012-11-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://intensedebate.com/profiles/loafblog|title=IntenseDebate - Heather Breckel|accessdate=2012-11-10}}</ref> Spiders are also featured on the issue's Cover A<ref>{{cite web|url=http://comicbookcritic.net/2012/09/24/idw-publishing-december-2012-solicitations/|title=IDW Publishing December 2012 Solicits|work=Comic Book Critic|date=2012-09-24|accessdate=2012-11-10}}</ref> and in the comic's story. In the {{comic|m10}} mini-comic "Luna Gets a Pet", a spider appears in Fluttershy's cottage. In {{comic|u4}}, the Cowardly Lion (portrayed by Fluttershy) defeats a giant spider and is thus proclaimed King of the Forest.

===Squid===
[[File:PonySquid.png|thumb|A squid]] A large blue '''squid''' chases the Cutie Mark Crusaders in a lake in the episode [[The Show Stoppers]]. The Crusaders try to find different ways to earn their cutie marks, and one attempt involves scuba diving in the lake, but their dive is quickly cut short by an angry squid who chases them out of the lake. Although its one visible eye appears angry, it isn't being terribly aggressive and is not attacking the foals. In [[Dungeons & Discords]], in the RPG Spike, Big Mac, and Discord play, the main antagonist is a squid wizard, or "Squizard" as Spike and Big Mac refer to it.{{clr}}
