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.

If it asked for a young human male you would put 'Boy', not Eunuch.

But eunuchs are not common. Most male farm animals are castrated unless raised for breeding stock, so their names are as common if not more so.

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?

In my language we call a castrated cat a you-know-what-(tom)cat. I think it originated in a cartoon (drawn not animated).

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

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

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

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".

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

Then should 'egg' be accepted for young frog?
+2
Level 81
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"
