English language use adjectives for the animals quite similars than my language, the Catalan. For exemple, a mule is stubborn, an owl is wise, a fox is sly, a lion is brave... But there are some differences, for exemple whit mouses and kitens. In catalan don't believe mouse is quiet, and It's not usually to say someone is weak as a kiten.
Some adjectives in catalan that there aren't in English language:
-Dirty as a fox
-Dutiful as a lamb
-Worker as an ant
