This paper discusses the figurative meanings to the names of different animals in different cultures, and highlights some of the problems language learners and translators face when dealing with single-word conventional metaphor. Informants from thirty–eight geographical regions responded to a questionaire inviting them to comment on the figurative use made of animal names in their cultures.
