Names for male animals, female animals, and baby animals

In addition to normal animal names, many of the most common animals have different names for male and female animals, and for young ones. Some of them can be pretty strange, or they don't get used much; you might not hear someone call a turkey a "gobbler," or a ferret a "hob," but those are both real names. So, we're gonna give you a list of some of the common words for animals of different genders.

Why do we call them different things?

The origin of different animal names in English dates back a really long time. There isn't really any special reason for the different names that we use, although we can sometimes figure out some explanations. It's most common for animals that have important jobs; because male bovines and female bovines have different jobs, we call them Bulls and Cows. A rooster and a hen do different jobs (chickens), so do stallions and mares (horses). After that we reuse a lot of names for similar groups of animals. Bulls and Cows can described bovines, elephants, giraffes, and camels. Peafowl are called peacocks and peahens, like chickens with "pea" in front. We call lots of baby animals cubs, kits, and kids (including human kids!). It's like how we use different names for animal groups (or "collective nouns") but the history is a lot different. Animal group names, like a "skein" of geese or a "pod" of dolphins, comes from hunters hundreds of years ago. People invented "proper" terminology to separate their upper-class sport hunting from what common people did for food; rich people and poor people hunted geese, but a poor person probably didn't know that the "proper" term was "skein."

A sandbag is a big bag of sand. If a hurricane is coming, chuck a sandbag or two by the beach house to keep the water out. Also, to sandbag someone is to trick or bully them into doing something. Sand is inexpensive and heavy, which is why sandbags are used for jobs like protecting vehicles and buildings during bombings or storms, or balancing the total weight on a boat.
