#1 Leveret

A leveret is a young hare, in most cases when they are younger than 1 year old. The word leveret is derived from the French word "Levre" which means hare.

Aren't they cute little hairy hares?

#2 Polliwog

A polliwog is a baby frog. Now, I know many more people will be familiar with this one simply because of how popular Pokemon was, and still is. It is more common that people confuse this with a tadpole. A polliwog is simply the earlier form of a tadpole, a tadpole that hasn't yet grown legs. The word is derived from the Olde English word "Polywygle" With Pol meaning head and and Wygle meaning..... Wiggle. It tranlates to headwiggle. And I think that is pretty sweet.

#3 Kid

That's right, a kid is a baby goat or antelope. Keep that in mind next time you say that about your beloved offspring children kids. Fun fact, the first time someone record kid being used to refer to a child was in 1599, and later in 1839 it was brought into the English language and used as a word that meant "to joke". Do you know what happens when you scare a kid?

#4 Smolt

No this does not mean to smoke a lightning bolt. A smolt is a young salmon whilst on his first migration from freshwater to the sea. Smolt is derived from the Scottish language. It's rather unclear exactly why they called them smolt, but some people suspect it may be because the young fish often resemble the small silver fish, smelt.

#5 Shoat

A shoat is a young pig that recently got off the tit. Yeah, he is done with momma's milk and on to rubbin' his nose in the ground finding solid food. Come along little pig.

#6 Eyas

Eyas is the proper name for a young nestling falcon or hawk. Often times with that use the word use it to refer to a young hawk/falcon that is not yet on it's own. So if it has not yet been trained by it's parent birds to be a killer flying assassin in the sky, then that bird is still an Eyas.

#7 Elver

This one is a bit confusing, but at one stage of it's life a baby eel is known as an elver. It's not too well known exactly where this word came from or why it was named that way. Elver almost makes them sound like they could be cute, but we all know that is not the case with eels!
