Question
We can see in Russian translations different names of animals. What is the correct translation and explanation?
Answer
Translations are often inaccurate, and that's why it's good to learn Hebrew. Prof. Yehuda Felix has some excellent books identifying the respective different animals in the Tanach, and I based my previous answer upon his books.
