It's amazing to note that the Yoruba language has an equivalent name for anything in English language. The language is so vast and broad.
Here's a little compilation of some animals and the Yoruba equivalent of their names.

Ps: I posted this on twitter so I'm a bit lazy to start typing again so I attached the pictures instead.

Please what of Buhari?

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

SNAKE - EJò

Lalasticlacla

I always think Zebra is Egbin....??

Correct list.
Snail - Igbin
Cattle Egret - Lekeleke

Tiger is not Ekun, there is no Tiger originally from Africa or Yorubaland, hence no need to give name to it
