Quiz: Do you know what these baby animals are called?

Test your knowledge of terms for animal offspring.

THIS WEEK, FOTA Wildlife Park asked the public to help name five new ring-tailed lemur pups.

The pups all share the same father, a male named Merlot, but Fota wants the new names to be inspired by the lemurs’ native Madagascar or carry a meaningful connection to the species. Name suggestions can be submitted on Fota’s website here.

That story, and the fact that baby lemurs are called pups, got us thinking about what we call different animal offspring.

So, let’s see how well you know the names of these baby animals.
