Special Notes:

1. Children often say puppy instead of pup for a baby dog, and they also often say kitty instead of kitten for a baby cat.
2. Notice that sometimes there is more than one name for the same baby animal. For example, a baby wolf or fox can be called either a pup or a cub and a baby fox can also be called a kit.
