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.
- A rookery will hardly rook you.
- The cast cast out sand.
- The quivering quiver swayed and waited….
- Culture doesn’t care about culture.
- This lounge member lunged!
- The swarm swarmed my sandwich and I couldn’t eat it.
Answers:
- Rookery of gooney birds [1]
- Cast of crabs
- Quiver of cobras
- Culture of bacteria
- Lounge of lizards [2]
- 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.
