Sounds like a law office.

Fitting.

Salamanders: a maelstrom

This one made me laugh.

Otters: a romp

Also fitting.

Ravens: an unkindness

Are we just assigning human emotion to groups of animals now?

A murder of crows is hands down the best. Which is why the Counting Crows had a song “A Murder of One”

As interesting as this is, you’ve got to wonder, who thinks this shite up? Like, is there some guy, or group of guys, who’s only job is to name groups of animals?




It wouldn't surprise me if children were tested on these during the late Victorian era when knowledge of this sort proliferated.

What is the logic in having different names for different animals, even subspecies?

Why would crow and dove be different, instead of both being a flock?

This all seems like a bunch of bullshite.
