wordplay :)

Some terms for groups of animals I found--

An exaltation of larks
An implausability of gnus
A murmuration of starlings
A charm of hummingbirds
A smack of jellyfish
A parliament of owls
A crash of rhinoceros(es)
A shrewdness of apes
& a glory of unicorns

If you're gonna name something, heck yes go all out with it.
Maybe it applies to people groups as well....for instance, I could use words like 'blather of bigwigs' and a 'blink of optomitrists', right? Mmmm, goodness, the possibilities are endless now. Okay, well on to the next adventure...reading a book on comets and dolphin/whale communication by Carl Sagan. How those two fit together I have no idea, except the tie of the glorious mysterious universe and all that. Cheers!

p.s...Baby platypi are 'puggles.' haha, those suckers."
