The nouns 'lion', 'horse', and 'pig' are common nouns, general words for any member of their species. A common noun is capitalized only when it is the first word in a sentence.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing; for example:

  • Elsa, the lion featured in the book "Born Free" by Joy Adamson
  • The Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer County, SD
  • Pink Pig Cottage Antiques, Essex, NY
