Collective nouns infographic

Ever wonder what to call a bunch of animals? It's not just 'group', there's a whole set of specific collective nouns. Fish swim in a School, lions hang in a Pride, wolves run in a Pack, and elephants travel in a Herd. Crows form a Murder, owls gather in a Parliament, dolphins stick together in a Pod, and bees buzz as a Swarm. Ants build a Colony, flamingos show off as a Flamboyance, camels trek as a Caravan, and giraffes stand tall in a Tower. Kangaroos hop as a Mob, frogs leap as an Army, and penguins have two names: a Raft in water and a Waddle on land. It doesn't stop with animals, stars cluster in a Galaxy, islands form an Archipelago, mountains line up as a Range, and trees grow as a Forest. Nature's got some weird and wonderful naming conventions.
