This article examines the main translation strategies used in rendering English zoonymic phraseological units into Uzbek. Zoonymic phraseological units, which include animal names as key components, reflect national mentality, cultural stereotypes, and historical experience of a speech community. The study focuses on semantic, cultural, and pragmatic challenges that arise in translation and analyzes how translators overcome these difficulties through various strategies such as full equivalence, partial equivalence, descriptive translation, cultural substitution, and omission. A comparative and contrastive analysis of selected English and Uzbek phraseological units is conducted to demonstrate similarities and differences in imagery, connotation, and usage. The research adopts an academic yet accessible style and provides illustrative examples with explanations. The findings show that successful translation of zoonymic phraseological units requires not only linguistic competence but also deep cultural awareness.
