Wild labelling

Q: I noticed you have a goat in your banner. Why do they call baby goats 'kids' and what's the name for a baby elephant ?

A: They call baby goats kids because of their genetic similarity to young humans. Obviously the similarity is on a purely genetic level. Most children lack the horns and fleece to truly resemble a goat, but if you've ever shaved a goat and made it walk around on its hind legs, you'd start to see that it can look quite a lot like a toddler.

I'd suggest you call a baby elephant "sir" because, even as infants, they have 20 times the strength of the average man. And the tusks. Watch out for the tusks.
