So, the Friendship is Magic character "Little Strongheart." Considering this is a picture of a real-world buffalo calf next to an adult buffalo, and this is a picture of Little Strongheart in the ONE episode she's appeared in, standing next to a crowd of adult buffalo...shouldn't pictures where she looks like this be tagged as cub and/or young?

...which is where I got the last link from, I just hit "view image" first, was all...That doesn't really answer my question, though. ^_^;

Thanks for that, I was about to do the same thing.

Concerning the use of cub, it depends on the image. The age of characters is based on visual aspects of their anatomy. Based on that image Strongheart does seem to have characteristics of a young buffalo, no horns, short fur, proportions in general. I imagine that image was mistagged due to her being similar in size to an adult pony.

Many species, the females don't have horns while the males do. To me, none of those traits make her look like a cub, just small.

I am aware of that. I'm not asking to be allowed to go through and add "cub" to all the anthro images of her with visible hourglass shape, or a nice rack. I'm just saying that between my first two links in the original post, it's pretty clear that she belongs to a species of buffalo that has that light brown fur color when they're calves, but loses it in favor of a much darker fur color as they mature...so I'm asking if her fur color is enough, together with her size, to justify adding the tag to all the feral pics.

That sounds like "What you know." If she's not with other buffalo, how can you be sure she's of that breed?

Real-world information is not magically not real-world information because of a pony show. That's what bison calves look like, the only difference being that pony crap is heavily stylized. It's still that animal enough to tag it as that animal just like anything else.

If it looks like a calf, it serves the same purposes as cub.
