Fox with cubs. Foxes live in families in burrows that have several passages. Have a beautiful red color, but there are also foxes of gray and brown shades, and there are even white foxes.

For example this cute creature Also a type of fox is the fennec fox.

Hare and bunny. In summer, hares have gray fur coats with a brownish tint to make it easier to hide in the grass. In autumn, the hare changes the color of its coat to snow-white so as not to be noticeable in the snow. They eat plant foods. Did you know that bunnies are fed by different bunnies? The mother hare stays with the hares for only a few days after birth, and then leaves. And the bunnies wait somewhere in a secluded place for some hare to come running and feed them. They all give birth at about the same time, and then each hare feeds the babies she meets.

A bear with a teddy bear. Unlike hares, a mother bear raises her children until they grow up and become independent. In winter, bears go into hibernation and sleep in dens until spring.

Sika deer and fawn. Adorable baby, isn't he?

Moose and little calf. Moose are very large animals. They can run at car speeds of up to 56 km/h and can swim. Males have large, beautiful antlers, which they shed every year in the fall. In their place, new horns grow in 4-5 months.

Horse with foal.

Boar with piglets. Babies are born with fluffy fur with beautiful stripes on the back; with age, the color changes to dark gray stubble.

Lynx with a lynx cub. A beautiful animal with tufted ears, similar to a domestic cat, but much larger.

Seal and squirrel. White helps the baby camouflage in the snow from predators. Seals feed their babies with milk. Seals sleep by swimming vertically at the surface of the water, rising to breathe through their nostrils.

Little hedgehog. Hedgehogs are born naked and blind, and only after a few days do they develop small needles, which serve the hedgehogs for protection. Hedgehogs feed on milk, while adult hedgehogs feed on insects, small rodents, berries, and fruits.

Chimpanzee with baby. Chimpanzees are the most intelligent animals; their habits often resemble human actions. They easily learn to perform any actions.

Rhinoceros and baby rhinoceros. Adult rhinoceroses are powerful and formidable animals, but their babies are very cute.

A hippopotamus, or rather a baby hippopotamus. Hippos are no less formidable animals than rhinoceroses. They spend a lot of time in the water and can dive, staying under water for up to 10 minutes.

Anya brought our Begemosha and is comparing. Similar, right?

Especially with this pygmy hippopotamus.

Adorable little elephant. By the way, the strongest animals are Indian elephants. And their pregnancy lasts almost two years. They also swim well in water, sticking their trunk above the surface.

Cheetah with cubs. Cheetahs are the fastest animals on earth. They can reach speeds of up to 110 km/h. And they, unlike other representatives of the cat family, do not know how to growl and climb trees. They hunt alone, not in packs.

Do you know the difference between a cheetah and a leopard or jaguar? Colors and spots on the body. The cheetah has black stripes and round black spots on its face from the eyes to the corners of its mouth. The Jaguar has larger spots than the leopard.

In this picture you can examine and compare these animals.

Lions and lion cubs. Lions live in families called prides. Often, while adult lions are hunting, older sisters look after the babies.

Some more exotic animals.

Koala or Australian bear with cub. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees and eat only eucalyptus leaves. For their babies, they, like kangaroos, have a special pocket called a pouch.

Anteater with baby. Anteaters feed on insects and have very long tongues to extract insects from crevices and burrows.

Wow, so long!

And these are Malayan tapirs. My children sometimes confuse tapirs with anteaters, because they have a little similar noses, but they are completely different animals. Tapirs feed on grass and vegetation.

Perhaps this photo is also worth showing

Sloth with baby. Sloths are the slowest animals on earth.

An already grown-up giraffe calf with its mother. Giraffes are the tallest animals on earth. They feed on tree leaves.

And newborn giraffes look very funny.

I’ll show you another photo of a kangaroo, and then we’ll stop. Kangaroos also carry their babies in a pouch on their stomach. They move by jumping on powerful hind legs and leaning on their tail.

All baby animals are very cute and charming; they, like our children, are very curious and love to play.
I hope you enjoy our selection of animals and their babies.

Baby chameleon sleeps in the sun. We all know very well that chameleons are capable of changing the color of their skin, and most of us mistakenly think that this happens due to the desire to merge with background. Scientists have found that chameleons change their color depending on their mood, temperature and light. Photo: Myron Karlinsky

Baby squirrel in the palm. It is known that rodents are capable of giving birth several times a year. Despite the fact that the squirrel also belongs to the order of rodents, these animals give birth to three or four babies only twice a year, and squirrels do not reproduce in captivity.

Many baby animals have the most unpredictable names. When children begin to explore the world, they ask their parents a lot of questions, for example, whose baby is the lamb? Or what is the name of a baby giraffe, or a camel, or other animals. Sometimes parents don't know it themselves. To prevent this from happening, we have collected answers to all these questions in this article.

Let's start with pets. They catch the eye of children more often, and therefore arouse more interest.

Sheep

Let's look at what a baby sheep is called. Many people living in cities do not even realize that sheep and ram are one type of animal, only female and male. Their baby is not called a ewe or lamb, but a lamb.

This is interesting! The word lamb comes from the Latin agnus. On Old Slavonic language a baby ewe and a ram sounds like a lamb. The name of the animal contained the root “yagn”. Later, the suffix “enok” was added to it, which denotes a reduced form. Hence the name - lamb.

Pig

Pigs are one of the first animals to be domesticated by humans. They belong to the order Artiodactyls. They supply people with meat and lard. The female pig is called a sow or pig, and the male is called a boar or boar. But their baby is called not a pig or a hog, but a piglet.

This is interesting! The Slavs called a male pig a poros. The addition of the suffix “enok”, again, means a reduced form. Hence the name - piglet.

By the way, the birth of piglets is called farrowing, and a pregnant pig is called gestation.

Cow

Cows have been tamed by humans since ancient times. They give people meat and milk. The male cow is called a bull, and the baby is called a calf. Another example of the fact that children and parents have different roots.

Experts still cannot figure out where the word calf came from; there are only guesses. One of them is that among the ancient Slavs this word meant “born”, but cows bear their offspring for 9 months.

Turkey

America is the homeland of turkeys. But in recent centuries, this bird has been grown in European countries.

This is interesting! Few people know that turkeys are named after their homeland. Previously, America was called the West Indies, so the name of the birds is translated as Indian rooster.

In this case, parents and their children have the same root. A female turkey is called a gobbler or turkey, and her baby is called a poult.

Rabbit

Another pet- rabbit. The female is called a rabbit, the male is called a rabbit, and their baby is called a bunny.

Rabbits are raised for meat, hides and fur. The Angora breed of animals has valuable fur, beautiful and expensive fur coats are made from it.

Scientists are also testing on rabbits medicines before releasing them for sale. Not long ago, dwarf breeds of rabbits were bred; now they are kept in apartments instead of hamsters and guinea pigs.

Goats

Unlike previous animals, goats are not so often raised by people, but there are entire farms with them. The fact is that in addition to meat and fatty milk, these animals provide people with skin and wool.

The female of these animals is a goat, the male is a goat, and their baby is a kid. The baby’s name still contains the same “diminutive” suffix “enok”.

Many people confuse kids with lambs. This is a big misconception because we're talking about about two different types animals.

Horses

Horses were domesticated more than 7,000 years ago. During this time, people developed many breeds of these animals, from miniature ponies to huge draft horses and horses.

A female horse is called a mare, a male is called a stallion or horse, and their baby is called a foal. If we are talking about two or more babies, then the word foals is used.

Speaking in general about this type of animal, two names are applied to them: horses and steeds.

Ducks

Ducks can be wild or domestic. They belong to the order of birds and are valued for the taste of their meat. The female of these birds is called a duck, mallard, the male is called a drake, and their baby is called a duckling. If we are talking about two or more chicks, then the word ducklings is used.

We looked at domestic animals, but there are many more wild and tropical animals, as well as fish and birds, that are of interest to children and adults.

Very often children ask: what is the name of a baby zebra or giraffe? But not every adult will immediately answer this question.

Zebras

Zebras belong to the order of equids. In fact, these are the same horses, only with a characteristic black and white coloring. In common parlance, zebra cubs are called baby zebras or baby zebras, but this is an incorrect endearing interpretation. The correct name is foal, just like horses.

Giraffe

Since giraffes are the tallest animals in the world, interest in this animal is high. With their participation, many cartoons were shot, various stories and fairy tales were invented. It is not surprising that children are interested in the question: what is the name of a baby giraffe?

Since these representatives of the fauna belong to the order of artiodactyls, their babies are called calves. However, this name was not strongly attached to the offspring of giraffes. They are more often called giraffes or giraffes. But if a child is given the task of describing baby giraffes, then the correct word would be a calf.

By the way, a female giraffe is called a giraffe, and a male is called a giraffe.

Baby animals are cute creatures that already have personalities. Newborn babies imitate their parents and try to repeat their habits.

One of the most fascinating topics.

Wolves and wolf cubs

Pregnancy lasts 65 days for a she-wolf. Usually in wildlife 5-6 puppies appear in a wolf family. But it happens that there are 10 or 15 of them.
The eyes of wolf cubs open on the 10-13th day. At the end of the second week of life, babies begin to react to extraneous sounds, and after 3 weeks they begin to crawl out of the mink for the first time, and then they gradually begin to eat meat. The whole family feeds the babies.

Penguins

Immediately after the egg is laid, she goes to sea with her friends for 3–4 months.

All this time, the caring penguin dad holds the egg on his paws, covering it with his feathers on top. You can’t put an egg on ice - it will immediately freeze, so daddy penguin walks with the gait of Japanese geishas, carefully moving one paw after the other, along with the egg lying on them.

Kitten - baby whale

Feeding a baby whale is not an easy task: the baby has no lips at all. Underwater, it covers one of the mother's two nipples with its tongue rolled into a tube. He does not have to suck: his mother injects milk directly into his throat.

For one feeding, the baby whale receives 15-20 buckets of milk, as fat as sour cream: the sperm whale has up to 53% fat content, and the baleen whales have about 37% fat (good cow's milk has a fat content of 4%). On such food, the baby whale gains weight up to 100 kg per day and grows by 2-3 m over the same period.

When she needs to run away quickly, she picks him up with her trunk and carries him. Elephant calves grow for a long time: the first three years are five to eight centimeters per year, and then 20-25. Only at 8-12 years old will they be able to become parents (females at 10-11 years old, males at 11-20 years old). A full height and maturity - by the age of 25.

And now - a few more photos

Baby animals are touching, regardless of whether it is a kitten, puppy or crocodile. Even fry, baby fish... they seem like unsightly creatures, you can hardly see them in the aquarium... but no, every time you pass by, you stop, smile at them, or even start talking :)

In these photographs you can see a wide variety of funny animal babies. Photos were taken both in the wild and in a zoo.

Little anteaters love to crawl on their own mother. However, the mother herself is calmer when her children are in such close proximity.

What order does the ant belong to and what is it like?

Ants are the world's most interesting social insects. These are the most numerous and oldest insects on Earth. Scientists have found a fossilized ant that is more than 100 million years old. Ant civilization has not yet been fully studied. Read also the article “How to get rid of house ants in an apartment forever?”

Types of ants

Scientists still debate which order the ant belongs to. The difficulty of classification is associated with the huge number of twin species and all kinds of hybrids. The ant family includes 21 to 26 subfamilies, 54 tribes, 378 genera, and more than 13,000 species.

Like their closest relatives - wasps, ants are part of the order Hymenoptera, but because of their originality they were separated into a separate superfamily. Each species has its own characteristics, both externally and in lifestyle, and differ in biology, organization and behavior.

Ant body parts

An ant has a head, a chest, one or two stalks and an abdomen. The head capsule contains the eyes, antennae and oral apparatus ant, designed so that the individual can only consume liquid food. The larvae can also eat solid food.

Where do ants live?

Ants live in a variety of natural landscapes and adapt to any conditions. For example, ants from the runner family living in the desert can withstand temperatures up to +50 degrees. And the Kamchatka ant quietly winters at a temperature of -52 degrees, remaining alive.

How do ants live?

All ants live in families. The number of families is very different: there may be several dozen individuals, or there may be several million.

Individuals of the same species are divided into castes:

females are queens or queens that lay eggs;
ants with wings are males;
sterile working females.

This or that caste membership is genetic and does not depend on how the ants live and in what region. Queens are the largest in size and have wings, but after mating season They chew them off for themselves. Males are smaller than worker ants, which do not have wings.

Almost all types lead sedentary image life, creating nests - anthills. More often main part The anthill is in the ground. This is a complex architectural structure, the branched system of passages of which can go deep up to 4 meters. The queen lives at the very bottom and there are eggs and larvae. The outer part of the anthill is a huge pile of twigs. There are also anthills that are not quite familiar to our eyes. For example, spiral ants build real labyrinths out of clay around the entrance.

The carpenter ant also builds an amazing nest. Their anthill is located in the trunk of old trees. They literally chew out passages in the wood. In this species, the largest uterus is found, reaching 2 cm in length. The houses of green ants or, as they are also called, weaver ants, are considered the most skillful architects. Green ants build their nests on trees from leaves, but do not tear the leaves from the branches. They glue the leaves together with their larvae, which secrete sticky threads. There are also species that do not have nests. They wander all the time. Nomadic ants do not move only when they reproduce, creating a huge openwork ball from their bodies for these purposes.

The queen of the nomadic ant is the most prolific among all insects, she lays three eggs in two seconds, producing 130 thousand eggs per day!

Ant food

Ants feed on live insects and their corpses, mushrooms and seeds. In addition to protein foods, the diet of ants should include carbohydrates. Sources of carbohydrates include plant sap, nectar, sweet secretions of aphids, and other insects. An amazing bunch - aphids and ants, shining example symbiosis. Ants protect aphids from enemies, carry aphids on their bodies to new shoots, and sometimes even take them to their anthill for the winter. The aphids, in turn, provide the ants with food.

Ant Reproduction

At a strictly defined time, ants begin to reproduce, mainly by budding. This happens once or twice a year. A young queen is born, and some of the workers together with her create a new anthill.

Most often, reproduction occurs in a mating flight, in which individuals from different anthills are mixed. Females and males return to the ground and begin building a nest. The males quickly die, and the queen ant lays eggs and for a long time, almost a year, does not eat anything until the workers grow up and begin to bring food.

The most incredible ants

The most famous in Russia is the red forest ant. It is their two-meter anthills that can be found in coniferous forests. Several hundred thousand red ants live in such dwellings in an organized manner. These are real forest orderlies. Redheads feed on secretions of aphids, larvae and adult forest pests. According to scientists, in one day, more than 20 thousand different caterpillars and pest larvae are eaten in such a huge anthill. One such anthill can protect a hectare coniferous forest, the role of ants in nature is enormous.

Pharaoh ants are the most tenacious, they are almost impossible to breed, since these individuals create a huge number of dispersed nests.

Each nest contains several hundred worker ants and several females. All nests are interconnected. Such a colony can be located on several floors of a multi-story building. In order to get rid of them, you need to simultaneously find and remove all the nests, which is almost impossible to do. But they also have benefits. There are no bedbugs in an apartment where ants live; they cannot tolerate the formic acid mixture.

Australia is home to the most primitive and largest ants, which are very similar to wasps. They are called bulldog ants. The name will become clear if you look at what an ant looks like: they just have huge jaws that help them get food and, oddly enough, jump. They push off the ground with their jaws and jump to a 30-centimeter distance. Bulldog ants are also unique in that they can swim and are dangerous to people. They have a sting; when bitten, the poison enters the bloodstream and causes anaphylactic shock.

Amazon ants are the most specific. This species does not give birth to workers. All offspring consist of soldiers and future queens. They attack other nests, stealing their larvae and pupae. It is these worker ants that subsequently do all the work.

Leaf-cutter ants are the most skilled agricultural workers. They bite off a piece of leaf, drag it to the nest, where other individuals chew it. The resulting mass is infected with fungal spores. Subsequently, the mycelium is the food of the ants. Interestingly, the saliva of individuals contains antibiotics, which prevents the mycelium from disappearing.

Mafia ants are surprising in that there is only one alpha male in their colony. He protects the anthill from strangers by releasing an odorous liquid and worker ants from his anus, like soldiers running to the rescue. The alpha male destroys future males at the pupal stage, considering them to be aggressors.
