Contemporary sociolinguistic direction in the study of phraseological units put forward the need for a detailed analysis of their ethno-cultural peculiarities and interlingua relations on the basis of culturally relevant evidences.

In the ethnic culture of different peoples phaseologisms including the names of animals - is primarily a statement about the human-being, his spiritual and social terms. Sufficiently a large number of English zoomorphic phraseological units have full or partial equivalents in other languages, because of the coincidence of mental maps of reality in carriers of different languages and common elements of culture the so-called «cultural universals».
