The term "calf" specifically refers to a young bovine, particularly those of cattle, but it's also used more broadly in some contexts to describe the young of other large mammals, such as whales and elephants. The use of "calf" stems from Old Norse and Middle English, where it originally designated a young animal. This terminology has persisted in agriculture and animal husbandry, reflecting the importance of these young animals in farming and livestock management. Different species generally have unique terms for their young, but "calf" has become a well-recognized term in both scientific and everyday language.
