User:Dwindrim~enwiki/List of gender names

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many species of animals, particularly those domesticated, have been given specific names for the male, the female, and the young of the species. There are a few generic terms, "bull-cow-calf', for instance, that are used as cross-species references, but many species have been granted unique names for these gender/age characteristics.
