What Animals Are These Disney Characters?

Have you ever been watching a Disney movie or TV show and wondered about the characters?

If you’re like me (and lots of others!), then you almost certainly have.

Some of the most common questions that come up from time to time have to do with the type of characters…

Specifically with what animal the characters are!

One example is, “What animal is Goofy?” Another way that comes up is, “Is Goofy a dog or a cow?”

These questions are actually a little tricky, and they have quite a long history of answers. The truth is that Goofy is a canine-inspired human creature, sort of half-and-half. Bill Farmer, who voices Goofy in most films these days, says:

“He is not a dog. Pluto is a dog, but Goofy seems to be in the canine family in the same way that a wolf is not a dog, but they also are in the canine family. I think Canis Goofus is the technical Latin term for what Goofy is. He’s just Goofy.”
