Nice. Just a little correction here op.
Leopard- ekun
cheetah- amotekun
tigers are not found in Africa so there was and there have never been a name for it.
Guessed our teachers who failed to listen to their teachers well taught us the wrong thing

Alligator pepper is a West African spice which corresponds to the seeds and seed pods of Aframomum danielli, A. citratum or A. exscapum. It is a close relative of grains of paradise, obtained from the closely related species, Aframomum melegueta
Alligators are native only to the United States and China..

fox, wolf and hyena.... their respective names in Yoruba ....always confused
Fox is kolokolo ; wolf is aja oko (prunounced as aja'ko) and hyena is ikooko.
