A note about the source’s theme description
Position is Everything’s guide contains conflicting descriptions: an earlier section refers to “body language,” while its explicit answer list and later explanation point to baby animals. The answer list above follows the article’s listed words and its consistent explanation of their connection; the conflicting hint is not a reliable guide to the theme.
