Many kinds of animals tend to live in groups. We know fish have schools, wolves have packs and cattle has herds, but English is such a rich language that most animal groups have their own, unique name. Here are the best 37 examples I found: |
A group of woodpeckers is called a Descent |
A group of kangaroos is a Mob or a Troop |
When flamingos group together, they're called a Flamboyance |
When it comes to cats, a group has many names, like: Clowder, Clutter, Pounce, Dout, Nuisance, Glare, and my favorite - a Glorying |
Hamsters become a Horde |
Zebras group into a Zeal or a Dazzle |
Bunch bears together and you get a Sleuth |
These prairie dogs are a Coterie |
Vultures form a Venue (but if they're circling, they're a Kettle) |
Badgers, bunched together are a Company |
Wombats become a Wisdom |
Finches in a group are a Charm |
These eagles are a Convocation |
Larks are Exaltation or Ascension |
Everyone knows about a Murder of crows |
Sharks swim in Shivers |
Chicks flock in Peeps |
Mice are a Mischief |
These frogs are an Army |
Wild gnus - an Implausibility |
Seals are a Pod, a Harem or Bob |
Elephants come in a Memory |
Foxes together, are a Leash, Skulk, or Troop |
A group of porcupines makes for a Prickle |
Owls are a Parliament |
Ducks on the ground are a Brace or a Badling, in the water they're a Raft, a Team, or a Paddling |
A group of doves is called a Piteousness |
These otters, together, are called Bevy or Romp |
A group of young penguins is known as a Crèche |
When apes are together, they're called a Shrewdness |
A hippo herd is known as a Bloat |
A swam of butterflies is called a Flutter |
Bring baboons together and you get a Congress (which explains a-lot) |
Cheetahs form Coalitions |
When it comes to ravens, you can choose between Unkindness and Storytelling |
And last but not least, remember that a group of pugs are a Grumble! |
