Here is a post for us to have a bit of fun and sillyness –
In our human languages we have names for every creature in the world. I was wondering in their languages what animals would refer to us as when talking about humans !!
I am sure that the names the hunted animals call humans is maybe best avoided on a forum as they would be deservedly very rude and offensive,but what about the others.
I reckon that birds call us the walkers, dogs probably call us slaves, cats maybe refer to us as the feeders and fish maybe call us the air swimmers and maybe rhino’s call us the hornless !!
So come on folks for a bit of fun dig deep and let us know your thoughts on what you think certain creatures would refer to us as !!
Love and light to all

My dog calls me hotwater bottle on chilly nights
Slightly different but Terry Pratchet wrote of goats:
“Goats did have names for themselves, she well knew: there was ‘goat who is my kid,’ ‘goat who is my mother,’ ‘goat who is herd leader,’ and half a dozen other names not least of which was ‘goat who is this goat.”
