Copy MonKey, and NakalChi BiLLi?

Help me understand the difference...

Copy Cat ( in english)

and

Nakalchi Bandar ( in Hindi)

Why do we use two different animals in the two languages?

  8. point hai baaap... But one of he reaons might be that america does not have freely roaming monkeys like we have in cities in India..So they have not seen Monkeys copying....so they dont say copy monkey,,,they are more familiar with the cats..
