Introduction
Animals and their young ones is an important General Knowledge topic for ADRE and other competitive examinations. Questions may ask the name of the young one of an animal, match animals with their young ones, or use these pairs in Analogy questions.
For example:
Cow : Calf :: Goat : Kid
So, candidates should remember the commonly asked animal–young one pairs.
