To expand on the other replies, here is a list of animals whose young are called "kits":

A baby beaver is called a `kit`

As the other commenter said, Kit is the name of a baby Beaver.

The welsh for child is plentyn, if you were interested.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/plentyn from plant (singular)! Now that's also interesting!

Five times in the article! One additional in title. One more in a caption. Seven mentions! I know a baby barber is called a kit, but this is ridiculous!

Funny note: Kits are born fully developed. They’re basically like little copies of their parents. Very cute.

People don’t read past the headline anymore unfortunately

We need more news like this.

Congratulations Steve and Doris

Yes!
