I came across a post that said a group of wild rabbits was called a fluffle – what a perfect name! It got me wondering if other groups of animals had such appropriate names. The answer is yes! Here are a few of my favorites…

  • A Flamboyance of Flamingos
  • A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies
  • A Concerto of Crickets
  • A Scurry of Squirrels
  • A Prickle of Hedgehogs
  • A Parade or Memory of Elephants
  • A Shrewdness of Apes and a Congress of Baboons
  • A Grumble of Pugs
  • A Waddle of Penguins

Sometimes you just have to love the English language!
