Is Wales really writing kids as kit? Happens 3 times in the article

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
