Not sure what kind of animal that is. Just heard the elders speak of it.

Drift1Leeg was correct.. the answer is Maum Kawv... i think this is a flying squirrel.. not sure though. Whether its a male or female, hmong call them "Maum Kawv"..

Maum Kawv or Maum Kauv?  Maum Kauv is a female deer also known as a doe.

You are right, too.

This kind of question will bring in many answers, depending on what the readers know. People who claim it's Maum Kawv are saying that just because that's the only one most Hmong in the community have been talking about. There are many other animals that are female in name or behaviors, etc.

If it's just terminology then the lady bug is one.

If it's a matter of having organs, then the spotted hyenas are one wierd creature.  The clits on the females are long like a penis.

I'm sure terminology has a lot to do with it. A maum kawv comes in both sexes.
