5 animals facts about them and also babies name
Answers
1. BABY ALPACA OR LLAMA // CRIA

ISTOCK/GUENTERGUNI
Despite the subtle distinctions between llamas and alpacas with regards to size, strength, and quality/quantity of wool fiber produced from their respective fleeces, both animals can interbreed and successfully produce offspring. Both genetically pure llamas/alpacas and their mixed progeny are called cria in the singular, crias in the plural.
2. BABY CLAM // LARVA
That steaming helping of seafood stew will look much less appetizing with the word “larva” stuck in your head. I’m sorry.
3. BABY HARE // LEVERET

ISTOCK/BYRDYAK
A curious fact about hares: Rather than sheltering their newborn young from potential dangers in their environment, a mother hare will leave her offspring behind for long periods of time within an hour of their birth in order to avoid attracting predators to them, returning to provide food at night. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Edmonton, hoping to curb instances of well-intentioned but ill-informed citizens spontaneously adopting baby hares found in fields, promotes a catchy slogan: "If you see a baby hare, leave it right there!" They may know the correct term is leveret, but it's much harder to rhyme with it.
4. BABY FISH // FRY, FINGERLING
The names for baby fish are memorable for their irony: fry, a common method of preparing the edible varieties for consumption, and fingerling, a type of potato that pairs well as a side. Not suitable for vegetarians.
5. BABY FOX // KIT

ISTOCK/WILDCATMAD
Born blind, deaf, and toothless, fox kits mature quickly. Around 4-5 weeks, their blue eyes darken to amber; within the first month, they develop their trademark white face patches; and they reach adult proportions in as little as six months.
