BUR #38714 is pending approval.

undeprecate baby_animal

please reconsider this stance

lack of homogenity between different species has been cited. however this is also the case for the broadest tag, animal (seahorse, wasp, frog, bat all look nothing alike), and for one of the suggested alternative, cub (compare post #105104, post #8586531, post #6333567).

many animals got their own tags for their younger versions, most of them severely underpopulated - tiger cub, lion cub, fox cub, wolf cub, seal cub (more commonly called "seal pups" in real life), bear cub, panda cub, baby penguin, duckling (both supposedly subsets of "chick"), kitten, puppy, calf (animal) (the term is also used for other animals, such as dolphins and elephants), fawn, lamb, and so on. however, at the same time, many have not. this leads to fragmentation of a single, unified concept
