nouns for animal groups


The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective 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. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of ALL primates.

And what is the proper collective noun for a group of Baboons?
Believe it or not, it is a Congress!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington
