Did you know that a group of apes is called a 'shrewdness'?
Me neither.
How about that a group of bees can be called not only a swarm or a'hive but also a grist, a drift or a bike?
That a flock of birds can, among other things, also be called a dissimulation & a herd of buffalo or bison can also be called an obstinacy?
While you might know that a male donkey is called a jack or a jackass, did you know that a female donkey is called a jennet or a jenny or that a male turkey is a tom?
Or that a baby grasshopper is called a nymph & a lamb can also be called a cosset?
Me neither!!!
We're enjoying this enlightening 'enchanted learning' spreadsheet at our house. Can you tell?
