Animal terms are part of Indonesia and Chinese language vocabulary; they also possess both conceptual and figurative meaning. Therefore, this paper will focus on analyzing relationship between animal terms and their meaning, and also in-depth figurative meaning analysis possessed by animal terms on both languages. In summary, it was found that there are several animal terms that possess the same figurative meaning and the reason being might be due to the same understanding and feeling towards the environment from human perspective. However, due to differences in the natural environment, tradition, and human perspective, same animal terms on both languages may partially have the same meaning, but in several cases, they have the exact opposite meaning.
