Here is an ultimate list of the names of baby animals. The young ones of most creatures have special words to designate them. English language has been so fond of the young ones of the cat, dog, cow, tiger, zebra, pig, rabbit, lion, wolf and those of the birds that it has given them cute names.
There are also diminutives that designate a small specimen of a thing or object. Many of the diminutives are formed by adding suffixes like -et, -let, -ette and -ling. The following is a list of common diminutives and names of baby animals. Search a word to find the corresponding diminutive.
