What do you call various groups of animals?

[Gill]

Any English teachers in the house want to verify this?

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic
collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar
with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle
of geese.

However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows
as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens, an Exaltation of doves
and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.

Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most
dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least
intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for
a group of baboons ? Believe it or not ....... a Congress !

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of
Washington !
