You tried but you got a couple of them wrong so get the right thing now:

Squirrel = Adua (Ayiod is bush rabbit)

Sheep = Erong/Edong Not 'Erung'

Eagle = Ntrukpum (Ekamba inuen means big bird)

Wood Pecker = Akukong Eto (Ebu nkakad is termite)

everyone with his incomplete language want to come here and swag, i thanked god that my language (hausa) is very complete, can you please tell what you call 'Hippopotamus' in your lang? and i want you to differien te between lion, tiger and leopard. in my own complete language they all had a different name.

There's no language in the world that's complete. Languages evolve. New objects and subjects, demand new words.
