As you may have noticed several of the animals have a couple of names for their young such as the beaver who has young that are known as kits or pups. Donkeys young can be called foal or colts. Fox young can be called cubs, kits or whelps. Hogs offspring can be called piglets or shoat. Horse offspring can be called foal, colt (male) or filly (female), A rabbits offspring can be called kit or kittens. Seals offspring can be called pups or whelp.
