That's the classic /Star Trek/ way of naming alien animals. Call it 
something from Earth, possibly give it a descriptor, and stick a planet 
name in front of it. Aldebaran shellmouth, Alverian dung beetle, Edosian 
suckerfish, Rafalian mouse.

So it only makes sense that Klingons do the same in reverse: everything 
is compared to a Klingon animal, and you stick a planet name in front of 
it. *reghuluS 'Iwghargh, DenIb Qatlh. tera' vIghro'.*

Once in a great while the writers will actually come up with a native 
word for an animal. Mugato or sehlat, for instance. Pay attention when 
you catch one of these; when it first appears it signals a story worth 
paying attention to.
