ANIMAL SOUNDS IN WESTERN WORLD

 
Below is a comparative table of how people hear and translate common animal cries and sounds, in the western world (Africa, Americas, Europa).
It is taking shape!!! I hope more and more good stuff will arrive soon.
It seems that the words are very similar from a country to the other, except the surprising English cock and frog!... and the French bird, that says "cui, cui?" (the only one that says such a thing is the Serinus canaria).

Needed contributions: from Senegal, Greece, Israel, South Africa, Egypt, Poland, Russia, Peru, Quebec!
Also, I look for free pictures of pigs! Please, send your images !
Table: animal sounds by languages (occidental domesticated & pets - means: neither hippo, nore elephant, lion, panda etc.)

...Did I forget someone ?
Notice, in the pictures above, two groups: the animals who look at the photograph, and those who don't. Dogs, Cats, Donkeys belong to group #1. Not a huge surprise, right?
