The paper focuses on the analysis of the formal and semantic variation of 34 zoomorphisms extracted from the Vocabulario Cubano of Constantino Suárez, a lexicographic work that reaches its centenary this year. For this, these expressions have been collated in later texts such as the Diccionario automatizado de fraseología cubana and the Diccionario ejemplificado del español de Cuba. Likewise, other variants and examples of use have been obtained from surveys applied in the northeastern region of Cuba and through the web site webscorp.org.uk. Among the results of the analysis, the current use of phraseological units from the Vocabulario stands out, some of which are not registered in the subsequent works that have been consulted. It highlights the presence of formal variants, especially of a lexical and quantitative type. In this way, it contributes to the study of Cuban zoomorphic phraseology, a highly representative thematic group in different languages ​​and an important basis for translational and intercultural analyzes. In addition, the approach to the Vocabulario Cubano is encouraged, a text with meager lexicographic revisions and, to a lesser extent, phraseographic revisions, a perspective where phraseological variation represents one of the most controversial aspects.
