About Baby Animal Names Quiz
A baby echidna is called a puggle, a young swan is a cygnet and a baby kangaroo is a joey. The Baby Animal Names Quiz asks for the names of young animals, from the everyday, such as calves, foals and kittens, to the surprising, such as elvers, eyases and squabs. Other questions ask about how babies grow, like the stages of a frog from tadpole to froglet. The names were checked against reliable lists, and a wrong answer is never a general word like chick or larva that would also fit, so each question has exactly one right answer.

Tips & strategy
- Many young mammals share a few names: calf for cows, whales and elephants, pup for dogs, seals and bats, cub for bears and big cats.
- Bird babies are chicks in general, but some have their own names, such as cygnets, goslings, ducklings and owlets.
- Fish and insects change shape as they grow, so the names follow the stage: fry, smolt, larva, nymph and pupa.
Baby Animal Names Quiz: questions and answers
Where do the baby animal names come from?
From reliable reference lists of animal names, checked one by one. Old or very rare names are only used where they are well established.
Why are some general names never the wrong answer?
Because words like chick, larva or kitten can fit many animals, so offering them as wrong options would make the question unfair.
