We’re getting close to the Grand Finale. This week I give you Installment #39 of my blog thread describing what to call groups of animals … See how many you can guess. Answers listed at the bottom of the page.
- Ooh, Kindle’s kindle kindles cute thoughts!
- The field raced across the field.
- The crowd crowded the bulrushes.
- The flotilla followed the flotilla.
- But of course a stripe has stripes.
- You might need a toke to imagine a tok.
- Kindle of kittens
- Field of racehorses
- Crowd of redwings
- Flotilla of swordfish
- Stripe of zebras [1]
- Tok of capercaillies [2]
NOTES: [1] Zebras status: Vulnerable. [2] The group of Old World grouse or tok makes a great track! “Their toe rows of small, elongated horn tacks provide a snowshoe effect…These so-called “courting tacks” make a clear track in the snow. The sexes can be distinguished very easily by the size of their footprints.” Wikipedia And even better, the capercaillie population is listed as Least concern.
