Some of us were chatting about the Swahili words for animals today, and I thought we'd keep the list going. And since Swahili isn't spoken in SA, I thought it might be nice to get some of you 'in the know' to post the names in Zulu. (Is that what you call the language?)

So far we have:

elephant - ndovu or tembo
hyena - fisi
cape hare - sungura (hee hee, that's me!)

And I'll add:
mongoose - nguciro
rhino - kifaru
hippo - kiboko
giraffe - twiga
