The English language has some wonderfully descriptive nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with:
a Herd of cows a Flock of chickens a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese. However, less widely known is: a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows
(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves, and, presumably because they look so wise: a Parliament of owls.
Now consider a
group of Baboons.
A CONGRESS OF BABOONS! I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington !
You just can’t make this stuff up.
