Ewure is a general word for both he or she goats but it's used for female. The same way lion is used for both sexes, young or old

Egbin is Antelope or Gazelle

How can you say egbin is Gazelle, I remember one Yoruba song "egbin le gun leshin". Can you ride a Gazelle or deer?

Informative

What's the big idea behind this thread. If buhari reads this, he will say he has been proved right that Nigerian youths are idle or lazy.

Wow! I love this
My salute to every Yoruba man and woman across the globe.
God bless Yoruba tribe.

GreenMavro:

Please what of Buhari?

Jonathan =BUFFALO

GreenMavro:

Please what of Buhari?

Buhari elede meaning pig

Please note, we don't have Tigers in Africa. Tigers exist in Siberia and Asia. Lions (Kiniun), Leopard (Ekun) and Cheetah (Amotekun) exist in Africa.

oloriooko:
Wow thanks OP for the vital info, its good we stay connected to our languages
Our kids are gradually losing grip of it
I wish ibos, hausas and other languages can give us these animals names too

I'm sure they'll have names for it. Igbo people should enlighten us please

IamPatriotic:
Wonderful! I must be honest, at my age I didn't know all of these before now, just yesterday, I was listening to King Sunny Ade's music and he mentioned kolokolo, I don't know what kolokolo is in Yoruba, so it was impossible knowing its translation in English, but now I know, thanks to Niaraland, @OP, God bless you......ori e maakan oke

Amin. Thanks

what of buhari!!!

Was there a request for this post?

I disagree with Oya as Hedgehog

OYA is either Grasscutter or CaneRat

kodeya:
Wrong. Inaki is Baboon

Wrong. Baboon is "Obo-Langido"

Hedgehog is Líìlí and not OYA.
OYA is Grasscutter
However, Oya (Grass cutter could also mean Babachir Lawal, the formal SGF.
