halftime1: No it is not. Lion is Odum, Agu is Tiger, although many Igbos call Lion Agu. I knew this right from my childhood and it came as a surprise to me seeing people call Lion Agu as I grew up. 1 Like |

bigfrancis21:No bigfrancis, tiger is an aisan animal and don't exist in west Africa jungles instead it's leopard that exist in which leopard has a strong historical connection in ancient West Africa / Igbo and Akwaibom / Cross Rivers cultural area of Nigeria so bigfrancis Agu in Igbo is leopard and not tiger. 2 Likes |

Efai: Wrong... Nze is Leopard, Agu is Tiger while Odum is Lion, Ediabali is Civet. Mind you, I grew up in the village, read and studied Igbo language for some years... |
Re: Comprehensive List Of Animals In Igbo Language by RedboneSmith(m): 8:19am On Mar 21, 2022 |
noobsaibot2: In which Igbo dialect is Nze Leopard? Did you also have tigers in that village you grew up? |
