Discover all the essential animal terms here!

We will reveal to you which specific names belong to which animal species, their young, and homes!

Animals that gather in large numbers aren't simply called a group. Many species have their own specific terms for this, such as a swarm of bees or a cow herd.

The young animals also have their own names. Dogs have puppies and horses have foals. Even the nest and retreats have different names depending on their appearance or function. For example, there is the beaver lodge and the badger sett.
