Pls note that some of them have more than one name in Yoruba language. Help me fill the blank spaces. Thanks

There is a list for Igbo also on Nairaland,why not go through it and compile a Hausa Igbo Yoruba thread on names of animals.

For how much?
Real Nigerians know what I mean.

My broda,We will have to Mail this to Aso Rock ooo.

nagoma:
Well done.

Kivashi is one type of ant. In Hausa there are different type of ants like;

1. Kiyashi
2. Tururuwa
3. Shazumami
4. Chinnaka
5. Gina
6. Gwano
7. I will remember this one soon

You right bro.

obanqua:
Tot Cow was Sanu!
Cos I know someone's appellation as 'agwai ba Sanu!' Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Shanu not Sanu is Catlle(I.e plural of Cow).

IYANGBALI:
Toto-Duri. Preek-Bura

Bifwoli:
Lol, lice is called akata? Now I have an alternative for my murican detractors.

KWARKWATA.

simbad221:
Volture - kolo
Pigeon - tantabara
Rhino - gwanki
Female cow - karsana
Grasscutter - burgu

My broda which one be Kolo?Karsana is an older female cow.

Orijin101:
Still waiting for the Op that will come and name his/her own in Egun....

BTW
As for the pig, do you mean yemi Alade or which of the Alades

Darey Art Alade.

intergral:
Op the owl is also known as "DUJI"

Duji is is Kanuri.Ever been to Borno?

musaffyan:
Volture is Angulu
Worm is not Susa its Taanaa
Susa is Margot

Some call Vulture Ungulu others Angulu.It's there in the list.
We dont have anything like Susa in Hausa but Tsutsa.
If Tsutsa is Maggot what will you call Tsutsan ciki in English?

Na job?
Nope?
