Sheep baby in English. baby monkey
This list is just amazing, I advise everyone to read it! Why:
You have probably watched movies with Ryan Gosling (Ryan Gosling), he is now in a lot of places removed. And his surname turns out to be “talking”! So don't be surprised that the post starts with his photo 😉
We all know the word kid(child, baby), but do you know the first meaning of this word? (Nothing I would have guessed!)
Do you think nymph is "nymph"? Yes, but not only.
And who is called a joyful word joye? A colt is it just a colt?
All answers below!
bull-calf- bull (ox - bull; noun that forms)
chick- a chicken, and almost any other chick, including an ostrich (ostrich [‘ɔstrɪʧ] - ostrich)
squab- a nestling pigeon - a small dove; a nestling - noun chick, baby!
pup- a cub of some animals (puppy, fox cub, seal cub, wolf cub)

I have known the word lamb for a long time, because this is the name of one musical group
help- puppy, also a cub of a wild animal
poult- chick of poultry, for example, turkeys (turkey)
larva[‘lɑːvə] – larva
cub- a cub of an animal (usually a fox, a wolf, a bear); puppy
nymph- a pupa, a larva of insects that undergo incomplete transformation, for example, a grasshopper (grasshopper) or a cockroach (cockroach). Also, nymph is also the “nymph” more familiar to us.

leveret- hare (hare)
kit- a kitten, a small animal (possibly a fox (fox)
smolt- fry of downstream fish species (not only salmon) at a certain stage when moving from fresh water into salt (the process of restructuring the osmotic balance of the body is called smoltification)

cockerel- young cockerel (rooster)
hatchling- a baby that has just hatched from an egg
fledgling- fledgling chick
shoot[ʃəʊt] - suckling pig
spat- caviar of oysters (oyster) or other shellfish
colt- foal, colt, camel, zebron (I'm not sure that there is such a word, but I saw it somehow in one children's book ...)
But perhaps the most surprising thing about these words is the absence of any visible connection with the name of an adult animal!
I never tire of thanking Victor, an active commentator on my blog, for the list!

16 Games, songs, stories in English on the topic: Animals (flash)
Animals as symbols of the Republican and Democratic parties in the USA
Democratic Party Democratic Party
Party symbol: donkey \ donkey. The "donkey" symbolism was adopted by the party after the appearance of cartoons published in the late 19th century in Harper's Weekly. 
The party itself was founded in 1792 by Thomas Jefferson. It was created as the "party of all the people" and opposed the party of the then American elite - the Federalist Party. In 1798, the party was named the Democratic-Republican Party, and in 1800 Jefferson won the presidential election. In the 20s of the 19th century, the party shortened its name somewhat and became Democratic.
According to Gallup polls, what Americans like most about the Democratic Party is that it "represents the interests of ordinary people", the most annoying thing is that the Democrats are "inefficient" and "too liberal".
Republican Party Republican Party
Party Symbol: Elephant \ elephant. As with the Democrat symbol, the elephant became the symbol of the Republican Party thanks to cartoonist Thomas Nast. Republican Party marches in the United States during election campaigns sometimes featured live elephants, which were rented from the zoo. In the United States, the abbreviation GOP is used as a batch designation (first used in 1875). The abbreviation most often stands for "Good Old Party" \ Grand Old Party. However, the abbreviation had a slightly different meaning: "Gallant Old Party" \ Gallant Old Party. 
Initially, the Republican Party united fighters against slavery and small farmers. At the end of the 19th century, its backbone was made up of large businessmen and farmers. The party advocates strengthening traditional moral values, limiting government spending, reducing taxes, and strengthening US military power.
According to the Gallup service, in the Republican Party, Americans like the "party platform" and "conservatism," while low "leadership" and "serving the interests of big business" irritate them.

fly home.
Your house is on fire.
And your children all gone.
All except one,
And that's Ann,
For she ahs crept under
The frying pan.
One for the mouse
One for the crow
one to mouth,
One to grow.
Butterfly, butterfly,
When do you come?
I know not, I ask not
Nor ever had a home.
Butterfly, butterfly,
Where do you go?
where the sun shines
And where the buds grow.
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride,
If turnips were swords I "d have one by my side.
If "ifs" and hands were pots and pans
There would be no need for tinkers hands!
US bald eagle / bald eagle
Bald Eagle / bald eagle- one of the national symbols of the United States, it is depicted on the "Great Seal" (confirmed the authenticity of documents issued by the US government) and the presidential standard. His image is also on the back of the dollar bill. 
The bald eagle is covered with a shield decorated with a star-striped flag pattern, in one paw it holds an olive branch (symbolizes peace) with 13 berries and 13 leaves (symbolizes the 13 colonies that formed the United States), in the other - 13 arrows (symbolizes war ). Berries, leaves and arrows were borrowed from the symbolism of the tribal union of the Iroquois. There are 13 stars above the eagle. His head is turned towards the olive branch, which should indicate the US desire for peace (until 1945, the eagle looked the other way). Above the eagle's head there is a ribbon with a Latin inscription (also of 13 letters) E pluribus unum - "One of many". The meaning of this phrase is not clear.
The phrase is similar to the Latin translation of the saying of Heraclitus: "Of all things, one, one of all things." However, the exact saying can be found much later. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the British magazine "Gentleman's magazine" was popular among the elite of Great Britain and the United States. In the early 18th century, a subscription to this magazine was extremely expensive, so gentlemen could borrow from the library or buy a yearly selection of issues of the magazine. Since 1731, a package one of them was marked with the phrase “E pluribus unum.” Perhaps the designers of the first American dollars borrowed someone else's slogan to give the new money respectability.
Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to his daughter, admitted that he regretted the election of the bald eagle as a symbol of the United States, preferring another bird - the turkey / Turkish:
"For my part, I would not want the bald eagle to be chosen as the symbol of our country. This bird is immoral. It does not earn an honest living. You could see it sitting on a dead tree near the river, where it is too lazy even to fish, instead watching the hawk hunt, and when this industrious bird finally catches a fish and carries it to the nest for its female and chicks, the bald eagle pursues it and takes the prey for itself.For all his dishonesty, he is always not in the best position, like people, living in fraud and robbery, he is usually pitiful and often looks shattered.Besides, he is cowardly: the royal tyrant (flycatcher), a bird the size of a sparrow, boldly attacks him and drives him away from his territory.Therefore, he can in no way be a symbol of the brave and honest American country that drove all the royal birds out of its borders ... In truth, the turkey is a much more respectable bird compared to it, and besides, a real crop The henka of America... Although she looks a bit pompous and goofy, she is a brave bird and will not hesitate to attack a British Guard grenadier who allows herself to be invaded in her rural yard in her red plumage.
About the expression lame duck / lame duck
"Lame Duck" / lame duck an expression that has multiple values. In the narrow sense of the word, "lame duck" is an ineffective, weak leader. In a broad sense, "lame ducks" are politicians who lost the elections (options: refused to participate or did not have the right to participate) and take office because the new government did not have time to come into its own. Therefore, decisions made by "lame ducks" who are no longer responsible for their actions to voters are often risky and irresponsible.
The lame duck "flew" into the world political lexicon from the speech of British hunters: a lame bird moves slowly on land, swims poorly, is not able to take off quickly and therefore is not able to hide from a predator. In addition, she makes a very pitiful impression. At first, this expression was picked up by businessmen. In the 18th century, regulars on the London Stock Exchange called "lame ducks" securities traders who could not or were unable to meet their obligations to sellers / buyers. Until 1773, London's Exchange alley served as the stock exchange. For the first time there was a division of stock speculators into "bulls" / bull(playing for an increase in the rate) and "bears" / bear(playing for a fall). The third species of speculative fauna was the lame ducks. Broken stock market players, walking away along Exchange alley, vividly resembled unfortunate birds to their colleagues in the shop. A little later, they began to call ordinary bankrupts like that.
In the 1830s, lame ducks "flew" into politics - this is how they began to call politicians who chronically failed to fulfill their promises, lost popularity and turned into political bankrupts. Until 1934, numerous meetings were held in the US Congress, called sessions of "lame ducks". Congressional elections are traditionally held on the first Monday in November. Some legislators inevitably lose elections and lose their right to sit in Congress. Until 1934, the new US president and the new Congress began work only on March 4 of the following year, that is, the "lame ducks" had the opportunity to decide the fate of the country for four whole months. In 1933, this came to an end - then the Twentieth Amendment to the US Constitution was adopted (still known as the Lame Duck Amendment / Lame duck amendment, which shortened the terms of the "lame ducks" in power.
However, the meetings of the "lame ducks" did not become history. The US Congressional Research Service estimates that between 1940 and 2002, there were 14 such meetings of the House of Representatives (the lower house of the US Parliament). The US Senate, the upper house, held such sessions 22 times between 1933 and 2004. In the overwhelming majority of cases, "lame ducks" discussed issues that were of particular importance - the budget, wars, especially serious international agreements, etc. In 1954, senators tried to discuss their colleague Joseph McCarthy, who unleashed the "witch hunt", in 1974 - Discussed the Watergate scandal, in 1998 - the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. In some cases, the "lame ducks" worked very productively, sometimes not.
The title of "lame duck" is awarded not only to congressmen, but also to other categories of elected statesmen, such as mayors and governors. The well-known American journalist William Safire in his book "The New Political Dictionary" noted that in the political slang of the United States there are not only "lame", but also other types of ducks. There is a "sitting duck" / sitting duck- this means that the politician is in a dangerous situation and is very vulnerable. "The Quacking Duck" / queer duck- funny, non-standard, eccentric, sometimes ridiculous figure. "Dead Duck" / dead duck- a person who, for various reasons, has lost any serious political future. There is also the word "duck" / ducky- usually applied to a promising politician in superlatives, but sometimes has an ironic connotation. In addition, "duck" terminology has entered some well-known US political aphorisms: for example, "if he walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then most likely he is a duck" (this expression was addressed to the well-known trade unionist Walter Ruther /1907-1970/, who during the "witch hunt" was accused of belonging to the Communist Party).
