Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Instagram to show off his new pet pig.

Its name is Schnelly. The name derives from the German word “Chnell,” meaning fast.

Schnelly joins several other pets in the actor and former California governor’s household, People reports. Schwarzenegger has a dog, a miniature horse and a donkey.

He reports that Schnelly is getting along well with the other animals.

Schwarzenegger was inspired by fellow actor George Clooney, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

“I always liked that he was into pigs; he has this little pig that he takes everywhere. So I bought a pig right after that,” he said.
