How did alligator pepper come about

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..

RAO1:
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.

Nice one!
But, really don't think wolf is called ìkòokò.
Ikooko shld be hyena.
