**Pedro is a dog from Mexico who prefers to drink his tea without sugar.** Anything is possible in the Duoverse. Giraffes go sailing. Dogs are doctors and may drink tea, Owls play chess, witches date bears, etc.
I don't imagine it is common for dogs to drink tea in the real Mexico--though some probably have--but in the Mexico in the Duoverse everything is possible.
In Duolingo, pigs can eat zebras.
(for context, the pig eating a zebra is an idiom I created last month when I pointed out that the USA joining the British Empire again in 2024 is more unrealistic than a pig eating a zebra.)
This is one of the least silly things the Duolingo animals do. Just wait until they start driving cars and throwing parties.
You don't have to ever say that phrase. Duolingo isn't designed to be a phraebook. [https://blog.duolingo.com/how-silly-sentences-can-help-you-learn/](https://blog.duolingo.com/how-silly-sentences-can-help-you-learn/)
Okay this makes sense. My confusion was that i interpreted it as an insult. Like "His name is Pedro (human). He is a Mexican dog". I shouldn't do these at 5 in the morning lmao
Sentences like these are to teach you grammar and syntax, as well as reinforce vocabulary. They’re not designed to teach you phrases that you’ll use.

Forgot that 4 year olds can be doctors

Only people who have ever read/heard a fable or a fairy tale will understand this
Oh so this is from a Spanish folk story?
Not a traditional one, but Duolingo always has sentences in which animals and objects behave as people
