All animals have common names. These names may be different for the male and female of a species, as well as for their young.

For example, a female sheep is called an ewe, a male is a ram, and a baby sheep is a lamb.

Common animal names are different from scientific names. Scientific names are unique to a specific animal and apply to the male, female, and young of the species. Common names are not unique to a specific animal and can change depending on the age or gender of an animal.
