Few people do not cause tenderness small children.And kids animals are no exception, whether affectionate fluffy kitten or a sufficiently large baby walrus.How is the baby wolf or fox knows almost everything.But what about the sea north pinnipeds?
Rule name formation in animal babies
Like, everything is clear.If the root of the name of the animal, or add a suffix -onok -ёnok, you get the name of his baby.However, there are some exceptions.For example, the word "little dogs" or "loshadёnok" in the literary language can be used only with ironic overtones.This happens because the dog to indicate the children have the word "puppies", and the horse knows that even children born foals.
«Clueless Dictionary," or "I do not know»
Consequently, the same need to form a name that is synonymous with a combination of "baby walrus."How is the baby of this wonderful representative of pinnipeds, like, the answer is easy - morzhonok.Only someone difficult to choose the right word.
«Morzhik, morzёnok, morzhonёnok, morzhonysh" - such responses often fail to give those whom the matter zastaёt surprise.The most "ingenious" humorous cover his ignorance, in their opinion, options.They argue that the "Musik-PUSIC", "belёk", "kitten" and even "raccoon" - baby walrus.

So, it is worth to summarize.On the question of the name of the young walrus, there are answers:
- morzhonok;
- puppy;
- serek;
- Abrashka;
