Question by David236909

The hint gives "kölyök" for "cub", not "bocs". Is there a convenient list of names for animals and their young?

Answer by vvsey

Probably not. But this is not that difficult: use "bocs" for bears exclusively, and "kölyök" for all other mammals. Until you run into another exception. This should be a safe enough rule.
OK, I have to correct myself already. The above does not apply to a whole range of mammals: hooved animals, horses, cows, antelopes and such, pigs, etc etc. But we would not use "cub" for those, either.

So, let's just say this: for animals that have "cubs": use "bocs" for bears, and "kölyök" for all others.
