Comparing Uyghur and English proverbs, this paper found that there exist a great number of proverbs on animals. Due to the great cultural differences in the two ethnic groups, the animal images differ greatly in their implications. By classifying and analyzing, this paper found that some of the animal implications are similar, while some are totally different owing to the influences in terms of religion, history, economic life, customs, ethics, geography and environment.
