Names of animals among the Turkic peoples belong to those chapters of the Turkic vocabulary which had been studied very early and rather carefully. In fact, they were object of interest both of various peoples who contacted the Turks throughout the ages and of several generations of researchers, anthropologists and linguists. Suffice it to remind of the lists of zoological terms and special studies of such scholars publishing in the nineteenth and at the beginning of the twentieth century as J. von Hammer-Purgstall, Falkenklee, bestehend in drey ungedruckten Werken über die Falknerey. 1. Bāznāme das ist: das Falkenbuch, Pesth 1840, J. Scully, “Turki names of birds”, in: R.B. Shaw, A sketch of the Turki language as spoken in Eastern Turkistan, Calcutta 1878, Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 47, pp. 209–215. The twentieth century brought new methods of research both on the part of zoologists and professional Turkologists in many world centers in Turkey itself and in Turcophonic republics of the Soviet Union. At that time the question was both of largening the list of terms and deepening the knowledge of the etymology of a zoological term, its geographical range, a research of cultural and linguistic aspects of the matter. Those studies brought explicitness of etymology of many zoological terms, established their internal and external relations and emphazised their ethnical and religious meanings. To give some examples let us adduce the following: W. Bang, “Über die türkischen Namen einiger Grosskatzen”, Keleti Szemle, 17, 1916–1917, pp. 112–146. A. v. Le Coq, “Bemerkungen über türkische Falknerei”, Baessler-Archiv, 4, 1914, pp. 1–13.
