Baby White Bengal Tiger
Three white Bengal Tiger cubs are being looked after by a proud-looking tigress.
Baby Fox
A baby fox is known as a cub, a pup, or a kit, but this tiny baby from Scotland is only concerned with that next helping of milk.
Baby Orangutan
Bred in captivity this baby orangutan is not from its native habitat of Borneo, but from the island of Singapore.
Baby Lynx
Three baby lynx have been born in India. I guess the plural form of lynx is the same as the singular.
Baby Snow Leopard
Snow leopards are rare enough, so I guess a baby snow leopard must be a very rare sight.
Baby Liliger
Animal cross-breeding is not often done, and is not often possible, though it has been known between the big cats: lion and tiger.
A male lion and female tiger will produce a liger. And a female liger and male lion will end up with a liliger.
Baby lemur
A baby crowned lemur has just been born in captivity in Twycross Zoo, UK.
Baby swan, cygnet
Many animals, have their own special names for the male and female of the species, and sometimes also for the baby.
A baby swan is known as a cygnet, and does not get its shiny white feathers until it grows up. This one is swimming happily on the River Thames in London.
Baby Panda
A tiny panda can be seen clinging to it’s mother.
This panda cub was born 3 days ago in Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, Japan. And here is a close-up of the baby panda, which should start to get its black markings in about 3 weeks.

It was the last one of the litter to be born, and was not expected to survive, but it did.
This is thought to be the world’s tiniest puppy dog, and as you can see it fits snugly into a paper cup. It’s name is Beyonce.
