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.
