Maybe allow steer for male cattle?

Level 74

Jul 1, 2017

Then ox should also work, for an adult steer.

Level 60

Mar 30, 2025

A steer is a castrated bull.

Level 56

Dec 2, 2025

But still a bull nonetheless

Level 20

To be more specific, a young male horse is a colt and a young female horse is a filly.

I like the butterfly one. Funny.

Anybody else old enough to remember the drake's tail haircuts from the 50s? I think they were also called duck tails.

Duck's A**e they were called in less gentile circles.

*genteel*

Level 68

Dec 14, 2021

either works. to my knowledge, genteel comes from the word gentile. Just got co-opted or used by non-Jewish people to refer to general behavior. Don't quote me though lol

Level 72

Jan 22, 2015

Great quiz. You could add queen (female cat), buck (male deer), and filly (young female horse).

Level 53

Apr 3, 2015

Female deer can also be a Hind - depends on species - e.g. Red Deer are Hinds not Does

Also as mentioned above a young frog could also be a Froglet - in-between tadpole and frog - still a young frog

Level 41

Easy and enjoyable.

It happens when there's an issue with the comment. And the person re-posts the comment, thinking that it didn't go through. As a result, there are two of the same comments.

Young horse could also be "yearling"?

That's very specific and only refers tho the second year of life.

That was a good quiz! I only Missed Kid, Boar, Jenny and Squab.

Level 40

Aug 7, 2016

I missed Gander, Colt and Squab. I should definitely have got Gander, and I ought to have known Squab from Game of Thrones. I've heard of a colt before but I couldn't think of anything other than gelding for a (castrated) horse.

Also accept pup?

Level 76

Jun 10, 2025

yes, it is weird how the -py was required, but for tomcat the -cat was cut off... (hmm shall I make a pun...)

Level 83

May 13, 2017

Caterpillar and tadpole are not really young butterflies and frogs respectively. They are larvae and are, I believe, classed separately. Nobody looks at a tadpole and says "oh look, there's a young frog".

Level 70

Jun 28, 2017

I do.

Oct 21, 2020

you're very weird, then.

Poor young horse. I pity the foal.

Level 66

+1.

Level 52

Jun 28, 2017

Could add Filly to female horse. Or expand and add young, female horse as that is the technical definition of a filly.

Level 69

Apr 8, 2020

Agreed, definitely add FILLY and change 'female horse' (mare) to 'adult female horse' as for the males colt and stallion.

Level 48

Apr 11, 2018

Phew! Got colt in the end for 100%. Don't get that very often

I remember my grandpa teaching me this: "What do you call the baby of a jack and a mare? A mule. What do you call the baby of a stallion horse and a jenny? A hinny. What do you call the baby of a mule and a hinny? Nothing."(Mules and hinnys are nearly always sterile.)

I also remember my grandma calling the seat backs in the car, the squabs. No idea why, unless it was a holdover from her buggy-riding days.

Very funny: young butterfly = caterpillar

Level 69

and add QUEEN for adult female cat, to go with the TOM male.

Level 65

May 3, 2021

A queen is a cat that is expecting or nursing kittens.

Level 51

Feb 7, 2025

Is this the real life

Is this just fantasy?

Level 69

Apr 8, 2020

and add BUCK (or Stag) as adult male deer to go with the DOE (female deer) which could also be a Hind.

Level 69

Apr 8, 2020

and finally FYI, here in Aussie, the Kangaroos are BOOMERS for the adult males, and JILLS for the adult females

Level 67

my puppy is a doofus. that is why i love him. :)

Level 48

Apr 25, 2020

Couldnt remember colt!

Level 42

May 6, 2020

Will you add gelding as a young male horse?

Level 50

Mar 18, 2021

A gelding is a castrated male horse. It could be 2 or 20 so it wouldn't really fit.

Level 78

May 9, 2020

I didn't know young pigeon so I typed "egg".

Level 80

Oct 21, 2020

Seems like that should work given the tadpole/caterpillar thing.

Level 82

Jan 22, 2021

Then should 'egg' be accepted for young frog?

Level 80

Mar 16, 2021

It would make the same amount of sense to accept the egg stage as it would the larval or pupal stage as an answer. Or they could improve the clues by instead of saying "young frog = tadpole" (which is wrong), changing the clue to "larval frog" or "larval butterfly"

Bit disappointed that a young pigeon is not, in fact, called a pidgey.

Level 76

Jun 10, 2025

I tried pidlet (or something, could be pidgelet or even piglet haha) dovlet, pidgling probably dovling too, even pidgkin. Basically multiple spelling variations with common suffixes for young animals/small things.

Level 67

Dec 6, 2021

Molly and Tom. Molly is the female cat.

A male goose is called a gander. A female goose is (sometimes) called a dame.

Young butterfly was a sneaky one that I somehow missed, kept trying larva or something else

Not me putting "kitty" for young cat and forgetting that kitten exists.. I thought I was wrong for a second. Lol.

Level 72

Apr 29, 2024

Wait. If male cat is called Tom... Does that mean that male mouse is called Jerry?

Level 56

Jan 6, 2026

Hehe, no. Male mice are actually called bucks. And the females are does though baby mice are not called fawns but pinkies or, for some reason, kittens.

Level 51

Jun 14, 2024

nice quiz but i can't understand why you'd include female chicken / deer but not male chicken / deer? Or colt but not filly? maybe im just too ocd but i like to have the balance!

no female dog?

Level 63

Sep 21, 2025

Tadpole is a fun compound word. It looks like a little head swimming around with a tail, so around Middle English they called it a "toad head": tad = toad, and pole came from a Dutch word, I think, for head, like when taking a poll counts every head, or a poll tax taxes each individual. Tadpoles are little toad heads!

Ha ha my best friend is called Jenny

I could not remember Tadpole. I tried Pollywog. Old quiz, but maybe add Pollywog? Great quiz!!
