Spring is the time for many animals to give birth.

Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth. 
New flowers blooming, Rain showers. 

I have developed this article  of spring I have compiled this short list of baby animals.
Baby animals are darling in general and I could not pass up the opportunity to write
in honor of the season.

1.         Cheetahs – The world’s fastest land mammal is on the critically endangered list.
            While cheetahs give birth to 2-6 cubs, only one or two survive to adult hood.
            cheetah cubs stay with their mother until they are two year of age.

2.      Lamb – baby sheep are so cute. Long thought to be in certain cultures to be
         the first baby animal signaling the arrival of spring.  Lambs are very popular 
         at youth fairs and 4-H clubs.

3.       Foal -  A frisky foal is always a joyous sight. It is amazing how these akward babies
          become such graceful and beautiful creatures.  Mares only have one foal possibly twins .
          I live in the central Texas area. I never get tired of seeing baby horses. I like horses
           and it is always cool to see a mother horse with her foal.

4.        Beaver – most beaver females give birth to one or two babies during spring.
            Unlike most rodents which give birth to several babies. Beavers really do
            only have their offspring only during Spring. 

            The beaver is very family oriented. Beavers frequent wooldand areas
            and streams.

5.        Fox pups- Vixens give birth to up to 6 pups.  Usually female and male foxes stay
           together quite some time to care for their young. Red foxes may have silver or
          even black  foxes in
           their litters.

 6.       Domestic Kittens – I know kittens are born at other times however this 
           Russian Blue is so darling I couldn’t resist adding it to the article.
