Babies

Baby dogs are called puppies or pups and so are seals. Kittens are baby cats as well as baby rabbits. Baby cows are called calves and so are baby giraffes and elephants. Baby koalas and baby kangaroos are called joeys.

Ladybirds eat aphids and so do their babies. Their babies are called grubs.

A lot of animals have to be able to run soon after they are born. Goslings are baby geese and they have to swim and run straight away after they hatch. Giraffe calves have to run soon after they are born. If they don’t keep up with the heard they will be easy for lions to catch.

Baby rabbits have no fur and they don’t have their eyes open when they are born. But baby hares have fur and they are born with their eyes open even though they are similar to rabbits. The reason is because hares are born on the ground and rabbits are born underground.
