the poodle
If the mallard duck is the species best known to the general public, there are actually many.
The Anseriformes family, which notably includes ducks, geese and swans, thus has nearly 170 species.
If the term duckling is commonly used to refer to the duckling, the poodle more precisely describes the young person covered in down who has not yet developed his feathers.

the ape
With around 350 species, monkeys are among the most diverse mammals on the planet.
They are divided into two groups according to the geographical area where they evolved.
Old World monkeys evolved in Africa and a few migrated to Asia;
some crossed the Atlantic and joined the New World.
The guenon designates a female monkey of any species.
The guenuche designates the daughter of the guenon, while the young males have no particular name.
the wild boar
Before giving birth, the sow, the female boar, prepares her cauldron, that is to say a nest made of plants.
After a management of 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days, she will give birth to between 2 and 10 wild boars.
When the little one is over 6 months old and loses its striped coat for a red dress, it takes the name of red beast.
elver
Despite what its name suggests, the European eel is born in the Sargasso Sea, off the coast of Florida.
The larvae reach the European coasts thanks to the Gulf Stream in 7 to 8 months.
They are transformed into glass eels (or pibales, bouirons or even montinettes depending on the region), that is to say into fry.
While most go up rivers and rivers, they then turn into young eels or yellow eels and will thus grow for about ten years.
After making fat reserves, they turn into silver eels and find their way to the sea to reproduce in turn.
