You are a lucky lot - here's another lot of things that you can now learn about [unless you already know them and I'm sure there are many of you out there who do] but in case you are like me and didn't - here they are............
POLLIWOG..
Did you know that a baby frog or tadpole can also be called a Polliwog? Apparently it came from the Old English -Polywygle which is from the 'pol' meaning head and the 'wygle' meaning wiggle, so together they describe a tadpole as a wiggling head. Makes sense doesn't it?
SHOAT.....
A young pig just weaned off its mother's milk is called a Shoat.
SPAT...
The spawn or a baby oyster is called a Spat.
NYMPH....

EYAS............
A young nestling hawk or falcon is called an Eyas.
