Sam here. Everyone knows that dogs have pups and cats have kittens, but do you know what other animal babies are called? Here is the first of two lists mom and I found to test your knowledge:
- Armadillo
- Badger
- Camel
- Dragonfly
- Emu
- Ferret
- Gerbil
- Hedgehog
- Ibex
- Jackal
- Koala
- Llama
Answers:
- Pup/baby
- Cub/kit
- Calf
- Nymph
- Chick/hatchling
- Kit
- Pup
- Hoglet/Piglet/Pup
- Kid
- Pup
- Joey
- Cria
How well did you do? Interesting so many babies are identified as ‘pup,’ don’t you think? Don’t feel badly, mom and I totally bombed. I mean, whoever heard of a ‘cria‘ other than maybe a mama llama?? Ha, looks like I’m a poet! Be sure to check out the last part of alphabet babies next week.
Live, love, bark! <3
