Mothers and babies

[Rubberhead]

I hope I'm not crashing someone else's thread but this is the best "babies" picture I have loaded into Flickr. I never saw the mom but these grey fox kits got brave for a couple of days and would hang out in the sun but dive into the culvert if something scared them. I had to stake out for a while to get a few photos.

I think all cats do really like to play silly.

A "baby" is a newly or recently born human being.

An immature animal is called something else.



Maybe my thesaurus is old...




(Everything else has a new definition)

Hell, I'm probably a non-pregnant, non-binary, post-menopause, homo-sapian, born with 1/2 of the 23rd chromosome pair of my DNA consisting of a Y-stand of DNA.

you are right of course but the thread header may have been a mite long if I was to put the correct name for all the different species as in Ellephant cow and calf, Cow and hatchling crocodiles etc etc etc through all the possibilities I may find good pictures of.

You are correct, but I went to a post-graduate school where we were warned not to anthropomorphize animals.

Just a dinosaur, I guess...

Sorry, this is from North America but I took the photo myself...

I was bowhunting this morning and watched a mother deer and two yearlings/fawns get within 5 yards from my stand.

I could have taken any of them legally, but chose to let them pass.

I just didn't need or want to make the shot.



But, I wouldn't judge anyone who would have taken one.



The offspring could have survived just fine on their own.
