African Animal Baby Names

Want to impress whilst on safari by knowing your animal baby names? Then here’s a useful list to check out before you go, cataloging the names of any baby animals you might expect to see whilst in Africa… if you’re lucky!

Whilst some animal baby names are quite general and used to reference the babies of many species (such as cub, used for dozens of mammals), other baby animal names are specific to just one species only.

Most people know that a baby elephant is a calf… but did you know that a baby porcupine is called a porcupette? Amazing (and could probably make the list of funniest animals names)!
