One thing that i am getting here is that the concept of cheetah and leoprad is confusing people, but i will put an end to this lovely and intellectual debate here by umunne m. Tigers are not native to Africa so there is no Igbo names for Tiger the big cats or felines that are found in africa are lion, Cheetah and leopalds that all found in Africa,Tiger is indeginous to Asia. SO THERE IS NO IGBO WORD OR AFRICAN WORD FOR TIGER.

SO THERE IS NO IGBO WORD OR AFRICAN WORD FOR TIGER. Cheetahs and Leoprd look very much alike just the line between Cheeta eyes differenciates it fromleopard. Both are called agu. Cheetahs have solid black round/oval spots and black "tear lines" that run from the corner of their eyes down the sides of their nose to their mouth (the lines keep sunlight out of the cheetahs' eyes while hunting). They're also lankier than rest of the big cats and have smaller jaws and longer tails. They hunt during the day and rely on bursts of speed (up to 75mph over short distances). When walking and running, they pace, moving their two left legs and then their two right legs. Unlike leopards and other big cats, they can purr while they inhale, but can't roar. Leopards have more complex spotting pattern of clusters of black and brown spots which look like roses, called rosettes. This pattern simulates shifting plants and shadows, providing camoflage as the leopards stalk their prey from tall grass and underbrush. Leopards in eastern Africa have circular rosettes, while their southern African brethren have square rosettes. Leopards are also noticeably bulkier looking than cheetahs. They're not built for speed, but surprise attacks. The extra strength helps leopards drag their prey up trees, where hide the kill to feed on at their leisure. Leopards walk using their legs in diagonal pairs (i.e. left front and right back leg, then right front and left back leg). Like the rest of the big cats, leopards can roar but can't purr except while they're exhaling. Cheetahs and Leoprd look very much alike just the line between Cheeta eyes differenciates it fromleopard. Both are called agu.

HopeAtHand: Igbos speak Ikwere language?? What's that nonsense supposed to mean? So the 5 Igbo states came down to your tiny Ikwere kingdom to 'borrow' your language? Look,I don't know if you're just another Ikwere man who chooses to deny being Igbo because of the politics of oil but don't insult Igbos with such insinuation because of your "identity crisis" |
