We have focused on examining 5,821 statements referring to animals in the 6 typical Ede epics. We have identified 67 animal species, divided into five main groups: birds, mammals, insect groups, amphibians and fish groups. In particular, the mammal words appear with high frequencies. Based on that, we have studied the expression of animal words identifying system in the mammal group in the Ede epic. Research results show that, in the most general level, in addition to the basic identification method, animals in mammal group in the Ede epics are also identified by the derivative identifying method (Animal names combined with reproductive characteristics, body shape, color, body parts, living environment ...).
