Baby Animals

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, been very here the past few weeks!
Our Mama cat had her second lot of kittens.
This made  me think about baby animal names.  In English there are quite a few.
In Japanese the kanji for child is put in front of the animal name. So a puppy is
koinu, inu is dog, ko is child. Nice and simple.
Here are a few baby animal names in English

Dog   Puppy
Cat    Kitten
Horse   Foal
Lion   Cub
Bear  Cub
Mouse  Pup
Goat    Kid
Elephant  Calf
Cow    Calf
Ape    Baby
Camel   Calf
Rabbit    Kitten


These are just a few.
To finish some pictures of our new kittens.
