The name of this animal is called ṯugwuni.

This is ṯugwuni, it is found in Nuba Mountains.( kwandaŋ and umbri).

Ṯugwuni feeds on insects. especially ants and termites. Tugwuni eats about 50,000 insects a night as a mater of fact. it digs faster than several men with shavels. ṯugwuni is found kiyayin yethi yenuvǝ yeri. ṯugwni has very delicious yîḏi. hunters of yenuvǝ never hold ṯugwuni by tail. its ṯiya ( tail) has a lot of ŋumá ( power). it can throw you kwirelu ( down) when you hold it by tail. but if you hold it by ear, (kǝni) you can over power it.

ṯugwuni, ṯami yithi beṯen.( the meat of ṯugwni is delicious.

There are still rugwuni in kwandaŋ and umbri but they are not very many. rugwuni are very helful to the Nuba people who are farmers. they help to eat up insects like amrɔŋw ( ants ) which destroy our crops. people should never kill the rugwuni any more. we call on all yenuvǝ yeri not to kill rugwni. a small ṯugwni is called  tigwuni. and many small rigwuni are called nyigwni.

ṯugwni can dig a big hole, a man can enter in the hold of ṯugwuni but, it is dangerous because, ṯugwni can close you in and you die. ( lǝŋthǝci ŋaŋw kininy).
