Question

Do you know what a ‘bearhug’ is? It’s a friendly and strong hug — such as bears are thought to give, as they attack you! Again, hyenas are thought to laugh, and crocodiles to weep (‘crocodile tears’) as they swallow their victims. Are there similar expressions and popular ideas about wild animals in your own language(s)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, this are the similar expression and popular ideas about wild animals in our daily life which we use.

We often use 'bearhug' which means a strong and friendly hug but in the other sphere in wrestling it is known as a body lock knockout move.

Next we use "Hyenas are thought to laugh" this phrase generally focuses on the laughter or the giggling sound the hyenas which they produce is quite similar to the laughter sound which the human beings make.

Next "Crocodiles to weep" this is compared to those type of living beings which bring down their tears easily at any situation.
