@Ngọzi ndewo. African tribes dị iche iche, nwere totem animals ha. For ndị Igbo, Agu (tiger) bụ one of totem animals anyị. Agụ dị very strong and powerful. Agụ dịkwa very good at hunting, and male agụ bụ the bread winner. Ihe ndị a bụ the epitome of nwoke Igbo. So Agụ bụ tiger na asụsụ Igbo. Even though ụfọdụ ndị mmadụ confuse agụ to be lion or leopard
