Exceptional Did you know? The Animal Kingdom Quiz by Douglas Goff      Class Is In Session Contest Winner

I recently wrote two stories where I had to research what a group of fleas were called (scratch) and what a group of mice were called.  This led me down a rabbit hole, although I didn’t find a cute blond girl named Alice. Instead, I discovered many interesting terms for grouped animals. I picked twenty-five of the hardest ones and listed below.  I knew only three of these prior to researching this. Be honest and let us know how many you knew. If two answers are listed and you get one, consider that a point.  I’m thinking most of you can beat three.  (No points for herd or flock so don’t even try it.) GROUPINGS Bass: shoal  Chickens: peep Crows: murder Bears: sleuth or sloth Cheetahs: coalition Cobras: quiver Cranes: sedge Crocodiles: float or bask Donkeys: drove Eagles: convocation  Emus: mob Ferrets: business or fesnyng Finches: charm Flamingos: stand or flamboyance  Foxes: skulk or leash  Geese (in flight): skein Giraffes: tower Hippopotami: bloat of thunder  Mice: mischief Manatees: aggregation  Parrots: pandemonium  Rhinoceros: crash  Squirrels: dray or scurry Wombats: wisdom  Zebras: zeal or dazzle I hope you enjoyed this and learned something.  I sure did!  Writing Prompt Your goal is to teach your fellow Fanstorians something they did not already know. It is a bonus if you make it interesting. The only solid rule is you have to do it in 200 words or less. Class Is In Session Contest Winner Recognized Author Notes Humans are silly. By the way, a group of people is called a crowd.
