In Kurdish Society, the recognized animals of Kurdish nature, because of people's treatment and experience, they got a mental image in the mind of Kurdish individuals. These images either represent their own feature, color, and form or they depend on their behavior. Sometimes the animal names come in the legend, a famous literary or religious text, and human being pictures them different from his own feeling.

Comparatively, their names are used for human being in form and behavior. The research consists of two parts: the first part talks about animals in Kurdish culture and its reflection in language.
