Kia ora Miss McCombie,
ReplyDeleteI love the picture you took of the geese, ducks and swans.
I knew that a grouping of swans was a flock, but I did not know that when ducks are in flights they are called a skin, to me, a very unusual name.
I know that a a group of lions is called a pride, though I can not think of any more, so I used google. A group of cats is weird too, a clowder and kittens can be called a kindle. Another grouping name is a troop, what animal do you think this name is referred too?

Hello Zara,
DeleteThank you for your comment. The picture I take along the river are always so beautiful.
When you said 'troop' I instantly thought Rhinos because I imagined troops off to war so I reckoned it was a strong animal. However, when I googled it it came up with monkeys and apes!
What animal's group is called a prickle?

Hello Miss McCombie,
DeleteThank you for replying, prickle seems like something sharp and when I googled it, I was right. A prickle is a group of hedgehogs.
What animal has a group called a business?

Hey Zara,
DeleteI chuckled when I found out a group of hedgehogs is called a prickle. Great name for the group!
Hmmm...business... something to do with animals that are busy all the time. Maybe meerkats? Let me google: Ferrets!!
