Word of the Day: Prolific
Prolific means to produce a considerable amount of something.
Writers such as Charles Dickens (my favourite) or Jules Verne were prolific authors who continuously wrote and published throughout their lives.
Animals also can be prolific.
Rabbits, mice and even wild boar are famous for being prolific breeders.
Rabbits can give birth to large litters many times a year, whereas wild boar can have up to two litters a year.
Each litter will have multiple babies.
To make things as clear as possible, by litter, I don’t mean small bits of garbage thrown on the ground.
In this use case, litter means a group of animal offspring born at the same time to the same mother.
