(好像还是中文精简:“群”!)


I found this educational, I hope you agree.. We are all familiar with a

Herd of cows,

2.jpg

A Flock of chickens,

3.jpg

A School of fish

4.jpg

And a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is:

5.jpg


A Pride of lions,

6.jpg

A Murder of crows

7.jpg

(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),

8.jpg

Baboons 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?
