[That I knew] but it led me to believe that these whilst trifling little bits of Information, are never taught here( there were a lot she & Mama never knew. [ or me for that matter] So just as some Trivia I came across this and thought OK! maybe it will be of use to members in case they get asked the same sought of question I was asked.

Dave Hounddriver Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Yes, there were surprises in that list, for me. I thought a barrel of monkeys was a joke name but it turns out there are many names you can call a group of monkeys. It seems there is more than one group name for most of the animals on the list. For a VERY intensive list of animals and what their group names are, go here: http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Pointless/AnimalGroups.html Edited August 30, 2018 by Dave Hounddriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuya John Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I've heard of a shoal of fish and a school of whales, but most of those on the list, are ones I have not heard of to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
