Recently, someone posted a tweet suggesting that Peppa Pig, the young star of the long-running British animated children's TV series of the same name, is over 7 feet tall.

Naturally, the internet had quite a field day with this information, though it is unclear whether or not it is true. 

The reports that this young animated pig is over 7 feet tall began after one viral tweet

Earlier this month, Twitter user @Memeulous posted a screenshot from what appears to be a simple Google search. In it, Peppa's height was revealed to be an astounding and "terrifying"  7'1".

Of course, Peppa Pig's height has not been confirmed and we don't know that this young, animated star is really this tall. INSIDER reached out to Entertainment One, the company that currently owns "Peppa Pig," for comment but has not immediately heard back.

Regardless, this new bit of information has resulted in a flurry of memes and jokes.

Some also realized that if we are to believe Peppa Pig is this tall, she would be the same height as NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal and scouts should take notice.

And some pointed out that if Peppa is supposedly that tall, her parents must be giants

Some users even began doing their own calculations to try to figure out Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig's height.

Earlier this month, the internet was also having a field day when someone suggested fellow cartoon character Caillou is over 5 feet tall

The bald Canadian cartoon character who stars on the children's series "Caillou" recently had his own height-related moment that left the Internet collectively reeling.

In June, Twitter user @NatalieZiesmer posted a photo of what appeared to be a Google-search result suggesting the toddler-aged cartoon character Caillou is 5'11".

This was particularly unsettling for many because Caillou is said to be 4 years old. Plus, if he was 5'11", he'd be taller than 5'9", the average height of a 20-year-old man in the US as of 2018, per the CDC.

Notably, it's unclear if this bizarre Google result was real and Caillou's height has not been confirmed.
