In a group of animals (usually a litter of animals born in multiple births), a runt is a member which is significantly smaller or weaker than the others. Owing to its small size, a runt in a litter faces obvious disadvantage, including difficulties in competing with its siblings for survival and possible rejection by its mother. Therefore, in the wild, a runt is less likely to survive infancy.

| - Dans un groupe d'animaux, un avorton (en anglais « runt ») est un animal présentant des caractéristiques de faiblesse ou plus petit que les autres. Du fait de sa taille réduite, un avorton souffre de nombreux désavantages, tant du point de vue de la concurrence pour sa survie face à une portée plus saine, qu'une potentialité de rejet de la part de la mère. De fait, dans la nature, les avortons sont plus sujets à la mortalité infantile. (fr)
- Pelle avser ett djur i en kull som är avsevärt mindre och eftersatt jämfört med övriga i samma kull. Främst används begreppet om grisar. (sv)

| - In a group of animals (usually a litter of animals born in multiple births), a runt is a member which is significantly smaller or weaker than the others. Owing to its small size, a runt in a litter faces obvious disadvantage, including difficulties in competing with its siblings for survival and possible rejection by its mother. Therefore, in the wild, a runt is less likely to survive infancy. Even among domestic animals, runts often face rejection. They may be placed under the direct care of an experienced animal breeder, although the animal's size and weakness coupled with the lack of natural parental care make this difficult. Some tamed animals are the result of reared runts. Not all litters have runts. All animals in a litter will naturally vary slightly in size and weight, but the smallest is not considered a "runt" if it is healthy and close in weight to its littermates. It may be perfectly capable of competing with its siblings for nutrition and other resources. A runt is specifically an animal who suffered in utero from deprivation of nutrients by comparison to its siblings, or from a genetic defect, and thus is born underdeveloped or less fit than expected.
