There is no {{wgping}} for Czech, so the template doesn't work. —Mahāgaja · talk 07:33, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Whether the terms given are synonymous in English is rather irrelevant in my opinion, because what's important is whether the concepts are at all distinguished in the target language. But I'm not a Czech speaker, so I'll leave it to the experts. @Zhnka. Thadh (talk) 09:28, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm a native Czech speaker and this word is a collective noun which describes “(wild) animals” (in the wild), usually those which are hunted, “game animals”. I've found out that in Old Czech it also used to mean „an animal“ but it would be archaic today and people imagine more wild animals than one under this term and think of it as a collective noun. The general word for an animal in Czech is zvíře. Zhnka (talk) 19:55, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
