Baby animals names for children 5. Let's get acquainted with animals and their babies. Sheep, rams and their young

Pictures of baby animals are our new lesson topic. Let's admire a piglet, a calf, a lamb, a puppy and a newborn tiger cub together. We invite you to conduct a developmental lesson with your child on a topic that he will definitely like. We will study which animal has which baby, and which baby has which mother!
We have selected several different types of educational material on the topic “Animal Pictures”

• Puzzles "Mom and baby"
• Pictures with animal families

Studying baby animals with a child

Spending a lot of time in an apartment, kindergarten or school, playing endless games on the computer, watching TV, our children are increasingly moving away from nature. Many children no longer know that the baby of a cow is called a calf, and the baby of a sheep is called a lamb.

Why does a modern urban child need this knowledge at all?

The child develops memory. In rare cases, people have a naturally good memory, but, basically, it develops only from constant practice, including practice with cards.

When you show your child cards and name the children of animals, you are talking about the animals themselves, about their children, about their way of life. This will expand the child’s understanding of the world around him and bring him a little closer to nature.

Please note how widespread the game “mothers and daughters” has become. Children are interested in learning everything about other small creatures, even if it is a puppy or kitten.

This system of relationships “parent and baby” is the stage of life that is now of greatest interest to your child because he is actively learning social roles. How to be a child? How to be a son or daughter? What does it mean to be a parent? The child actively absorbs all the information and, even now, while still a child, he is already beginning to learn to be a parent. These skills will be very useful to him in life, perhaps much more than the ability to subtract or read quickly.

When laying out pictures of animals for the first time, we explain to younger children that, like people, animals have families, each of which includes a father, mother and children. While shuffling the cards, we ask the kids to independently sort the animals into their families.

Then we invite the children to come up with stories about one of the animal families. This is a wonderful exercise for speech development.

With older children we introduce the concepts of “male”, “female”, “cub”. We learn the names of animals of different sexes and ages. We start with easy, single-root names: lion, lioness, lion cub. Let's move on to the next group: for example, ram, ewe, lamb.

Cards with babies of various animals

Baby chameleon sleeps in the sun. We all know very well that chameleons are capable of changing the color of their skin, and most of us mistakenly think that this happens due to the desire to blend into the background. Scientists have found that chameleons change their color depending on their mood, temperature and light. Photo: Myron Karlinsky

Despite the fact that the squirrel also belongs to the order of rodents, these animals give birth to three or four babies only twice a year, and squirrels do not reproduce in captivity.

What are baby animals called? This question is usually of interest to children. You can start with domestic animals, or rather, with those you can meet in the village. In the modern world, many people do not know the names of baby sheep, young pigs, goats, cows and turkeys. It's time to find out how and why different children of animals and birds got their names.

What are baby animals called? This question is usually of interest to children.

Sheep, rams and their young

We should start talking about domestic animals and their young with an animal that was one of the first to be domesticated by humans. We are talking about sheep and rams. One little sheep could save an entire family. These creatures gave people not only milk and meat, but also warm wool. It should be noted that a young sheep could be used not only as a source of wool, meat and milk, but also as a religious symbol.

It's time to figure out what a baby sheep and ram is called. Sheep and ram are domestic artiodactyl animals that belong to the bovid family. As you might guess, a mature female of this animal is called a sheep, and a male is called a ram. City dwellers ignorant of agriculture often think that these are different animals. Accordingly, various non-existent animals appear, for example, a female ram or a male sheep.

There are also a number of strange versions about what the baby of these animals is called. Often, as an answer to the question, what is the name of a baby sheep and ram, you can hear different options: little sheep, little sheep, little lamb, etc. Among the strangest names we can also distinguish: ram (for a male) and little sheep (for a female).

Description and lifestyle of the scoter duck

All these names do not correspond to the accepted name in Russian for the young animals of these animals. It is important to remember that the offspring of a ram and the baby ewe will have the same name. The only correct name for their baby is lamb.

Language experts believe that the origin of the word for little lamb is related to religious rituals. For many peoples, the little sheep was associated with the birth of hope and freedom. Often a small sheep was used as a sacrificial animal.

Thus, the word lamb has a very ancient history. According to scientists, the Russian name comes from the Latin agnus, from which the Old Slavic lamb first appeared.

Today, the little sheep no longer has the same sacred meaning that ancient people gave it. The lamb is considered only as a young domestic animal.

Now we know what a baby sheep is called, and if necessary, we can explain why it was called that. From now on, the question of who the lamb’s mother is will no longer be perplexing.

It is worth noting that there is a special designation for sheep that have left the most tender age, but have not yet reached marriageable age. Thus, a young sheep, already an adult, but not yet capable of procreation, has a special name. You can often hear the strange word yarka in the speech of farmers. This is what a young sheep that has not yet produced offspring is called.

Pigs and their offspring

Pigs, like sheep, were domesticated by humans at the very beginning of human history. These animals belong to the order Artiodactyls. Pigs provide humans with meat, lard, skin and stubble. This is why they are bred on farms.

Funny animal echidna: description, lifestyle in nature

A male pig is called a boar, a boar, a hog, a female is a pig, a sow. Baby pigs are called piglets. We need to figure out why the parents and the baby have such different names.

As already mentioned, pigs were domesticated by humans in ancient times. Back then, people preferred to use different words to refer to male and female animals.

The common word pig is cognate with the German Schwein, the English swine and the Latin suinus. Apparently, in the ancient Indo-European language it meant the female of this animal, bearing offspring. So the male form would be the pig. The word comes from the Indo-European sus - pig.

But in ancient times the boar was called differently. In the Proto-Slavic language, linguists restored the form porse for it, in Latin - porsus. The ancient Slavs called a male pig poros. This is where the word pig comes from. As is easy to see, it is formed using the suffix -enok, which means a small creature.

Initially, only male babies were called piglets. Gradually the name spread to all children of the pig.

By the way, the process of the birth of cubs is called farrowing, and a pregnant pig is called pregnant, that is, having been under litter. So even our modern language preserves the ancient names of animals.

Cow, bull and calf

The cow, like the sheep and pig, was domesticated in ancient times. This animal gives people milk and meat. Her skin is also used.

A male cow is called a bull. And the baby cow is a calf. The names bull and heifer are also acceptable. They indicate the different sexes of the young.

It is worth understanding why again parents and their young have names that come from different roots.
