On the methodology side, we used field research and literature review for qualitative research in standards. The analyzes carried out, the interpretations of the information collected in the field helped verify the veracity of the anticipated responses. Theories used: the functionalism of Robert King Merton, the performativity of Judith Butler, the ethno analysis of Mbonji edjenguele, the principles of African epistemology has made it possible to highlight the value of human sounds not articulated, human gestures and sounds and gestures of anthropoid animals in the understanding of communication, cultural and the production of meaning, She also allowed us to revisit the type of relationship between the Beti Eton man and his environment thus exploring the different inspirations that the animal has inspired in Beti culture.
