Did you know

baby lions can

be called a few

different names?

While most

people refer to

them as cubs,

they can also be

called lionets or

whelps.

Kittens have five toes on each front

paw, but they only have four toes

on each back paw. Some cats even

have extra toes. They’re called

“polydactyl” cats!

Young American oystercatchers

know how to fly and

swim! They’re

known for diving underwater to

escape predators.

Red-eared slider turtles may
be itty-bitty as babies, but
they grow to be around 12
inches long as adults. Females
can grow to be even larger!
