\"Illustrated<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just like we assign special terms to groups of humans, like a team<\/em> of players or a class<\/em> of students, groups of animals have special names, too, like a school<\/em> of fish or a litter<\/em> of puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These names are called collective nouns, and some of them come from how the animals behave, while others are based on old sayings or stories. Read through the following list of groups of animals, and pick the names that are your favorite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
