📝 Exam Tips

• Write the correct baby name for the animal. For example, don't write "puppy" for a cat's baby.
• Remember the examples from India as they often come in questions.
• Draw neat pictures if asked. Colour the baby and parent animals.
• Don't confuse animals and their babies. Practice the table to avoid mistakes.
• Board exams may ask "Name the baby of an elephant/cow/hen?" or "Match the animal with its baby."
