Four new baby animals (a ferret, a hare, a hedgehog, and a platypus) arrived at the zoo infirmary for care before they join the exhibit housing the rest of their species. Each type of animal has a juvenile name and a group name. Please identify the juvenile name, the animal type, and the group name based on the clues below. 1. Even at only a week old, the kit was alert. It would watch every movement of the hare until the veterinary intern moved their plastic basinets to opposite sides of the lab. 2. The hedgehog juvenile would roll into a ball when startled; the lab assistant would sing softly to the "prickly piglet" to calm it down. 3. The leveret's eyes opened and fur developed quickly so it was the first to be able to join its drove. 4. The little puggle was a favorite of the hospital staff because it was such an unusual creature with its duck bill and paddle-shaped tail. 5. The young ferret was so active, it was obvious to the veterinarian why a group of them is called a "business."
