Weird Names Of Female Animals And Their Young : 

Weird Names Of Female Animals And Their Young

Slide 3: 

“Doe a deer a female deer ….” When you think you have heard it all you realize how complicated names for female animals and their young are in English.

Slide 4: 

Most of these names are probably not used by the average person who will just call a mouse a mouse or a male or female mouse if they are more aware but never a buck or a doe.

Slide 5: 

Yes, a male mouse is a buck and a female mouse is a doe. Whoever came up with these names was probably thinking about money and making a buck or some dough.

Slide 6: 

Just like the person who came up with young fish as fry or fingerling must have been licking his fingers by a fire.

Slide 7: 

A doe is a female deer you said? What do you call a female hamster? A doe too.

Slide 8: 

If you think that is strange, what do you call a female hippopotamus, rhinoceros, seal or whale?

Slide 9: 

They are all called cows!

Slide 10: 

Then we should call them sea cows! Nope, that title is already taken.

Slide 11: 

How big is a hen? Well, before you go measuring your yard fowl think about this:

Slide 12: 

a female quail or even a female ostrich is called a hen!

Slide 13: 

And you thought you could lift any hen, huh?

Slide 14: 

Female pigs are called sows. That should not surprise us.

Slide 15: 

They are always in the dirt they might as well sow.

Slide 16: 

Maybe an evolutionist came up with the names for the young of apes, chimpanzees and gorillas.

Slide 17: 

Their young are all called infants!

Slide 18: 

The young of goats are called kids just like the young of humans.

Slide 19: 

Well, children do eat all types of junk and butt in on conversations.

Slide 20: 

They are always chewing something so we cannot complain too much about the title “kids.”

Slide 21: 

What about rabbits? It would have been so much easier to just pick one name for their young.

Slide 22: 

People had to come up with bunny, kit, kitten, leveret and nestling.

Slide 23: 

Is a rabbit a kitten and a nestling at the same time? Then a rabbit might want to eat itself!

Slide 24: 

And then we come to young mice. Why are they so afraid of cats anyway?

Slide 25: 

Young mice are called pups! Come on mice, don’t just wag your tails.

Slide 26: 

Show the cats who is boss, you are pups for goodness sake!
