The Animal Kingdom: 6

Yet another addition to my blog thread describing what to call groups of animals! … See how many you can guess. Answers listed at the bottom of the page.

1. A rookery will hardly rook you.
2. The cast cast out sand.
3. The quivering quiver swayed and waited….
4. Culture doesn’t care about culture.
5. This lounge member lunged!
6. The swarm swarmed my sandwich and I couldn’t eat it.

Answers:

1. Rookery of gooney birds [1]
2. Cast of crabs
3. Quiver of cobras
4. Culture of bacteria
5. Lounge of lizards [2]
6. Swarm of flies [3]

NOTES: [1] Ah, the gooney bird… now better known as the albatross. This magnificent bird’s wingspan can reach 11 feet! Status: 19 species of albatross are threatened with extinction. Environmental Watch [2] This particular lizard is a waran. It was bigger than me! [3] Nothing compares to the Hell that is a swarm of flies in Australia’s Outback. Nothing. Go to my earlier posts Warning: Waran!! and The Outback for more on my encounters with these critters.
