Animal 'Groups' Names

[kbobam]

I had a long boring story in mind to explain how I came to look up this topic tonight.

But I like you guys too much to make you listen to it.

I did find this one site that has a large collection of this always-fun subject.  ( :

"An implausibility of gnus"?  

Someone is pulling our leg!

 

A grist of bees?  Odd to hear a brand new name for an animal I thought I was so familiar with. 

[kbobam]

You're familiar with bees?

Cripes.  If you have it in you that you wouldn't mind being a beekeeper

if circumstances allowed for it, then you're a lot more gutsy than I am!  ( :

Part of my boring story was that I was lead into looking at this

stuff because someone in a sit-com I was watching mentioned that a

group of flamingos was called a "pat".  Didn't see this mentioned

anywhere on the 'web', although flamingos seem to have a larger than

average number of names for their 'groups'.

Well, I'm not THAT familiar with bees. 

Just the kind of familiar which comes from seeing 'em all one's life!  And getting stung and stuff.

Hey, Bob .... what do you know about seals?

Ha!  New one on me.

Good group of groups.  For those interested, clicking on the blue box at the end

that says 'pointless' will take you back a 'page' to an index of lots of fun stuff.
