Is Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh a boy or a girl?

Answer 1

Eeyore is neither, he's a donkey ;)

But he is a boy donkey, despite Disney illustrating him with a pink bow in his tail. A A Milne, the author of the Winnie the pooh stories, describes Eeyore as 'he' and 'him' throughout the books. Here are a couple of examples, with references to Eeyore emboldened for clarity:

"And anyhow, Eeyore was in the river, and now hewasn't, so he hadn't done any harm.

'How did you fall in, Eeyore?' asked Rabbit, as he dried him with Piglet's handkerchief."

(from Pooh Invents A New Game)

"... Pooh and Piglet were sitting in the Thoughtful Spot and wondering.

'What I think,' said Pooh, 'is I think we'll go to Pooh Corner and see Eeyore, because perhaps his house has been blown down...'"

(from Piglet Does A Very Grand Thing)

and:

"One day when Pooh was thinking, he thought he would go and see Eeyore, because he hadn't seen him since yesterday."

(from Tiggers Don't Climb Trees)

Answer 2

Eeyore is a girl because she has a pink ribbon
