O.K.
This is my BIG hint - and I try to make it possible to be solved by non-german speakers, too:
It´s a name that stems from the swabian region, so it ends with the typical diminuitive ending "XXXXXXle", the first part being the german name for a cute animal.
Tell me the name of the young animal in whatever language and this puzzle will be solved. And do NOT count the Xs...
