Hmmm... What do you mean? This record mostly consist of voices of two adult females. You can also hear a voice of one cub for a little time.
He means that he knows the animal has cubs, so it must be a carnivore of some sort.

Well, it was a hint. It's correct, Order Carnivora. But I didn't say when and where these voices were recorded

Bingo!
It seems that hints were too useful.
Please propose a next "riddle" if you have records.
I thought it sounded like a pinniped when I first heard the video, but I waited until later hints just to make sure.
I don't have any records of species, so forgive me for my old-minded waysD) but here are some photos.

2. Javan langur
3. Painted stork
3. Painted stork
Both are correct.

Finally I've understood what did you mean. English Wikipedia says: "A cub is the young of certain large predatory animals such as bears, lions, tigers , and big cats". Unfortunatelly I did not know this meaning for my English is too bad
. Characters of Kipling's "The Jungle book" call Mowgli "man's cub" or "man-cub" - and not only carnivorous calls him so if I am not mistaken. So I thought that it's the appropriate word for any young mammal, and several Russian-English dictionaries tell the same. In Russian, we have general word for young mammals (sometimes not only for them) which related (cognate) to words meaning "child" and "children". How do English-speaking people generally call young animals which are not cubs and not calves?(I wrote here because I cannot send you PM)
It seems to me that there are very good professionals gathered here. I could tell not more than: 3 - some sort of stork, 5 - looks like well-known animal of Marsupialia.

Yup, taken at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
I don't think there is a general name for baby animals that aren't cubs or calves. There are quite a lot of baby animal names, even names that only refer to one animal species. I'm not sure, but I think that pup may be the next most-used baby mammal name.
Someone do correct me if I'm wrong.
Let me wrap this one up, BZF. 
So, we got a rhim/slender-horned gazelle for #1, taken at the Bronx Zoo, a Javan langur for #2, taken at the Bronx Zoo, a painted stork for #3, taken at the Bronx Zoo, a silvery lutung /langur for #4, also taken at the Bronx Zoo, and an albino Bennett's wallaby, previously mentioned to have been taken at Busch Gardens in Tampa.
These were a lot easier once I just looked closer at the photos.

One last attempt at revival.
A human hand and a hippo?
1/2. And, boy! That was fast!
Not even close!
