Can You Name These Animal Groups? 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) |
 |

 |
| 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! |
