Alex: Hey, Sam! How's everything on your farm and at the zoo you volunteer at?

Sam: It's a busy season! We've got puppies and kittens at home, and the farm is full of new life with foals, calves, lambs, and piglets running around.

Alex: Wow, that sounds adorable! And at the zoo?

Sam: It's incredible! We have a fawn that's just started to explore, lion and bear cubs that are the main attraction, and an eaglet that’s learning to fly.

Alex: That's amazing. Have you seen any new aquatic animals?

Sam: Yes, actually! There's a dolphin calf that's become quite the swimmer. And back at the farm, the ducklings are getting used to the pond.

Alex: I bet the visitors love them. What about other animals?

Sam: Well, the elephant calf is always a crowd-pleaser, and we've got a bunny that's been hopping around, keeping the kids entertained.

Alex: Sounds like you're surrounded by young animals!

Sam: Definitely, Alex. It is a Zoo for cubs. It is a lot of work but also a lot of fun. You should come over and see them.

Alex: I'd love that. Thanks, Sam! I'm especially curious about the cubs and the dolphin calf.

Sam: Anytime, Alex. I'll make sure to give you a tour.
