Throughout human history, mortals have attempted to describe the infinite nature of Baby Animals.

'I like Baby Animals'  Sung to "London Bridge"

Ancient Mongolian Folk Song (probably 4000 years old)

I like baby animals,
Animals, animals.
I like baby animals,
I'll name some for you.

Kittens, puppies, chicks and foals,
Chicks and foals, chicks and foals.
Kittens, puppies, chicks and foals,
I can name some more.

Goslings, ducklings, lambs and calves,
Lambs and calves, lambs and calves.
Goslings, ducklings, lambs and calves,
I like baby animals.

Baby Animal Names

by Stacy Mantle's 2-year old niece. (Liar..)

Baby cats are called kittens
Baby bears are called cubs
Baby dogs are called puppies
A pigeon’s a squab!

A girl horse is a filly
A boy horse is a colt.
A possum’s a joey.
A chicken’s a poult!


A penguin’s a fledgling
A reindeer’s a fawn
A turtle is a chicken
It makes no sense at all!

An ant is an antling
A goat is a kid
A bird is a nestling,
A muskrat, a kit!

A kangaroo’s Joey
A louse is a nit.
A toad is a tadpole,
And a mink is a kit!

An eagle’s an eaglet.
An eel is a fry.
A fly is a maggot.
And a fish is a fry!

And what have we learned
From all these words today?
That if you’re a boy
Then a boy you’ll surely stay!

The Veal Calf

by Vantressa Brown (with help from cow... mostly the cow)

Here I am in this small wooden box,
Bound up with chains and locks.
What is my fate from here?
I hope I don't die.

Stuck here through the wind and cold,
Hearing the others, will they too be sold?
Wishing, hoping, praying,
I hope I don't die.

I was taken from my mother, too.
She had warm milk, a soothing moo.
I wonder if she knows I'm here,
I hope I don't die.

Sometimes the others are taken away.
"They're goin' to heaven," some elders say,
Is heaven good? Does it have freedom?
I hope I don't die.

But, for now, I'm here in this box.
Bound up in chains and locks,
Wishing, hoping, praying,
I hope I don't die.
