Collective nouns

Hello!
I was thinking about what to post about and for no particular reason, I thought of a quiz question I had once done at school. It was about collective nouns of animals and I found it quite interesting! After doing some research, I thought that I would post about it! A collective noun refers to a group of people, animals or objects. However, the animal references were the ones that interested me most. The most common ones are a flock of sheep or a herd of cows but there are some much more interesting ones. I am going to pick out my favourites!

1. A dazzle of dolphins
2. A murder of crows
3. A gaze of raccoons
4. A wisdom of wombats
5. A flamboyance of flamingos
6. A flutter of butterflies
7. A grumble of pugs
8. A band of gorillas
9. An unkindness of ravens
10. An army of caterpillars
11. A mischief of mice
12. A prickle of porcupines
13. A crash of rhinoceroses
14. A battery of barracudas
15. A litter of bear cubs
16. A caravan of camels
17. A quiver of cobras
18. A business of ferrets
19. A tower of giraffes
20. A cloud of knats

There are sometimes more than one option for each animal but those were my favourites. For more collective nouns, visit:
