Animals

These are the animals I know which I have learnt from young, from nursery rhymes, from what my parents have taught me, from listening to Teochew conversations and perhaps I have missed a few out. I put together a list according to what I can recall, today. 

If you know others, please share by commenting. I have not put the list in any order.

Anchovy - there seems to be a problem with the characters for gang1he5 - Mogher writes it as 公魚 In Malaysia and Singapore people write it as 江魚 and other people write it as 乾魚 [dried fish] I find it difficult to believe that the characters for gang1he5 are 江魚 because anchovies swim in the sea and 江魚 means river fish. I have read all my four Teochew dictionaries and gang1he5 is not listed. Do you know the characters for gang1he5?
