Animal Terminology

I came across some interesting information on The Old Farmer's Almanac website this morning regarding Animal Terminology and Animal Collectives

Here's a sample of Animal Terminology:

Animal: Ass
Male: Jack, jackass
Female: Jenny
Young: Foal
Collective: Pace, drove, herd

Here's a sampling of Animal Collectives:
  1. army of caterpillers, frogs
  2. bale of turtles
  3. band of gorillas
  4. bed of clams, oysters
  5. brood of jellyfishb
  6. usiness of flies
  7. cartload of monkeys
