What's a baby dog called?
A baby dog is called a puppy
Isn't this a cute puppy peeking out of the bucket? Do you think he's playing hide and seek?
When puppies are born, they can't see or hear. For the first few days of their lives, puppies only seem to eat and sleep. When they sleep, they cuddle in close to each other and to their mother. After about two weeks, they will open their eyes and start to walk around on wobbly legs.

What's a baby cat called?
A baby cat is called a kitten
What do you think this sweet, fluffy kitten is going to do with this rope? I think the rope might be too big for her!
Kittens look a bit like little mice when they are first born. Their eyes are closed and they can only crawl around a little bit because their legs are so weak. When kittens are about ten days old, they will open their eyes for the first time and the muscles in their legs will be stronger so they can start exploring - not too far away from their mother though!

What's a baby seal called?
A baby seal is called a pup
Do you think this little seal pup will get cold lying on the snow and ice? He has a coat of long white fur to keep him warm and make it harder to see him on the white snow.
Harp seals are born with a thick coat of white fur. They are born in early Spring and feed on their mother's milk for only about 12 days. They put on a lot of weight in those 12 days because the milk contains lots of fat. After this time, they begin to shed their white coats and become more silvery-gray. They can't swim for the first 7 or 8 weeks so they just stay sitting on the ice.

- I had no idea a baby anteater was a "pup." I saw some on a nature documentary recently and I was amazed - I had no idea they rode on their moms. Great picture (above)! Love the lens - super cute. The kittens remind me of our own kittens; all rescued as 'stray' babies and now happy with us. Thanks for sharing these great pictures and I love all the links!
