A male cattle could be a bull or a steer, depending on if it has been castrated or not. Similarly, depending on castration, a male horse is either a stallion or a gelding and a male pig is a boar or a barrow.
I can't figure out why they have "colt" but not "filly". Also, if it were up to me I'd include "ox" and "gelding" also, but I guess we're not wanting to address the topic of animal castration here, are we?
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
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.
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".
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.)
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"
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!
Also as mentioned above a young frog could also be a Froglet - in-between tadpole and frog - still a young frog
Ewe Jenny Gosling ! :-)
and i don't know how someone came up with that as a hobby, i just play FIFA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A male goose is called a gander. A female goose is (sometimes) called a dame.
