Animals are the word group toddlers love most, and learning animals name in Telugu is a happy way into the language. This page has 60 animals with a picture, a Telugu name and clear audio for each, from the ఆవు (aavu, cow) in the village to the తిమింగలం (timingalam, whale) in the sea. Tap a picture to hear the name in Telugu and English, then play Find it or Memory.

Domestic and farm animals name in Telugu

Start with the animals children see in villages, on farms and in stories. At Sankranti, the గంగిరెద్దు (gangireddu), a decorated bull led from house to house with music, visits many Telugu streets, which is a lovely moment to talk about ఎద్దు (eddu, bull) and ఆవు. On the last day, Kanuma, farm animals are washed and honoured.

  • ఆవు (aavu) cow · ఎద్దు (eddu) bull · గేదె (gede) buffalo · మేక (meka) goat · గొర్రె (gorre) sheep
  • గుర్రం (gurram) horse · గాడిద (gaadida) donkey · ఒంటె (onte) camel · పంది (pandi) pig

Pet animals name in Telugu

కుక్క (kukka, dog) and పిల్లి (pilli, cat) are usually among a Telugu child's first words. Add కుందేలు (kundelu, rabbit) and ఎలుక (eluka, mouse), which is also the picture word for on the Telugu alphabet page. Notice how Telugu makes new names from old ones: పెద్ద ఎలుక (pedda eluka) is a rat, "big mouse", and ముళ్ళ ఎలుక (mulla eluka) is a hedgehog, "thorny mouse".

Wild animals name in Telugu and English

The forest set includes ఏనుగు (enugu, elephant), సింహం (simham, lion), పులి (puli, tiger), చిరుతపులి (chirutapuli, leopard), ఎలుగుబంటి (elugubanti, bear), కోతి (koti, monkey), జింక (jinka, deer), నక్క (nakka, fox) and తోడేలు (todelu, wolf). The Nallamala forests of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are home to real tigers, and the state animal of Andhra Pradesh is the blackbuck (కృష్ణ జింక), while Telangana's is the spotted deer (మచ్చల జింక).

AnimalTeluguBuilt from
Hippoనీటిగుర్రం (neetigurram)water + horse
Otterనీటి కుక్క (neeti kukka)water + dog
Polar bearతెల్ల ఎలుగుబంటి (tella elugubanti)white + bear
Wild boarఅడవి పంది (adavi pandi)forest + pig
Porcupineముళ్ళపంది (mullapandi)thorn + pig
Seahorseసముద్ర గుర్రం (samudra gurram)sea + horse

Once your child knows నీరు (water), అడవి (forest) and సముద్రం (sea), they can guess many names. Faraway animals like జిరాఫీ, జీబ్రా, కంగారూ and పాండా keep names close to English.

Water and sea animals name in Telugu

The long Andhra coast makes fish and seafood part of daily life in many homes. చేప (chepa, fish) is an early word and builds many others: బంగారు చేప (goldfish, "golden fish"), సొరచేప (sorachepa, shark), నక్షత్ర చేప (starfish). You will also find పీత (peeta, crab), రొయ్య (royya, prawn), కప్ప (kappa, frog) and తాబేలు (taabelu, turtle) on the alphabet page. Godavari families will know పులస (pulasa) fish too, a local favourite in the monsoon.

How to teach animal names in Telugu

  1. Start with five. కుక్క, పిల్లి, ఆవు, ఏనుగు, చేప. Learn them well first.
  2. Add the sound. "కుక్క says bow-bow." Sounds make words stick; try animal sounds after this page.
  3. Act it out. Walk like an ఏనుగు, hop like a కప్ప, jump like a కోతి.
  4. Look outside. Crows (కాకి), squirrels (ఉడుత), cows and buffaloes are free daily lessons.
  5. Tell stories. Panchatantra stories in Telugu, like the monkey and the crocodile, reuse the same words again and again.

Homework says "write 10 animals name in Telugu"? Print this page from your browser. The word list with pictures prints cleanly with Telugu and English side by side; tick off ten as your child learns them.

Bilingual homes and gentle learning

Many children abroad know "elephant" before ఏనుగు. Pick one animal a day and use only the Telugu name all day: at the zoo, in books, at bath time. For children with a speech delay or autism, use the fewer choices setting, stay with five animals longer, and celebrate pointing as much as speaking. More animal games: animals and their babies and wild animals. Ask for each name in Telugu as you play. Talk to your paediatrician if you have worries about speech.

తల్లిదండ్రులకు

పిల్లలకు జంతువులంటే చాలా ఇష్టం. ఈ పేజీలో అరవై జంతువుల బొమ్మలు, తెలుగు పేర్లు ఉన్నాయి. బొమ్మను తాకితే పేరు తెలుగులో, ఇంగ్లీషులో వినిపిస్తుంది.

ముందు కుక్క, పిల్లి, ఆవు, ఏనుగు, చేప అనే ఐదు జంతువులతో మొదలుపెట్టండి. జంతువు అరుపు కూడా చేసి చూపించండి. ఏనుగులా నడిచి చూపించండి. బయట కాకి, ఉడుత, ఆవు కనిపిస్తే పేరు చెప్పండి.

సంక్రాంతికి గంగిరెద్దుల గురించి మాట్లాడండి. పిల్లలు తప్పు చెప్పినా మెచ్చుకోండి. ఈ ఆట ఎప్పుడూ "తప్పు" అనదు, సరైన బొమ్మను మెల్లగా చూపిస్తుంది.

How to use this page at home

Say it, then find it

Play for a few minutes, then look for the same thing away from the screen: telugu words on the shelf, in the kitchen, on the way to school. A child learns a word properly when they meet it twice, once on the screen and once in their hand.

Ten minutes is enough

Short and happy beats long and tired. Stop while your child still wants more, and come back tomorrow: the same page on five short days teaches far more than one long sitting. Nothing here is scored, so there is no reason to push.

Use both languages

Tap the language button at the top to hear the words in your home language first and the second language after. Hearing the same picture named in two languages is one of the few things research agrees builds attention as well as vocabulary.
