cub's

Young animal's possession

Cub's is the possessive form of cub, a young animal—especially a bear, lion, wolf, or fox.

It indicates something belonging to or associated with the young animal: The cub's mother watched from nearby, a lion cub's first hunt.

Cub extends to young or inexperienced people, as in cub reporter, so the cub's first assignment might describe a novice journalist.
