One of a Wisdom of Wombats There are so many ways to enjoy the richness of the English language in prose poetry and lyrics. I'd like to add zoological terminology to that list.
Just take animal group names.
A Kindle of KittensA Battery of Barracudas
A Flutter of Butterflies
A Crash of Rhinos
A Shrewdness of Apes
A Charm of Hummingbirds
A Bloat of Hippopotamuses
A Wisdom of Wombats
An Exaltation of Larks
An Obstinacy of Buffaloes
So, to add to your resources for completely trivial but interesting facts, here is the link to the list of Animal Collective Nouns.
Now to add to this list a lovely term that I found in the Durrell book
Charming isn't it?
