Names For Groups Of Animals by ngozianu(m): 9:20pm On May 07, 2017 |
Many species of animals, particularly those domesticated, have been given specific names for the male, the female, and the young of the species. There are a few generic terms, "bull-cow-calf", for instance, that are found across species, but many species have been granted unique names for these gender/age characteristics. It is thought that many of the bizarre words used for collective groupings of animals were first published in 1486 in the Book of St. Albans, in an essay on hunting attributed to a Dame Juliana Barnes. Many of the words are thought to be chosen simply for the humorous or poetic images they conjured up in her lively imagination.

In addition to breeding and selling alpacas, male alpacas can be sold for stud services. In many cases, alpacas are exported to mainland Europe, as long as the breeder has a biosecure facility. Get more interesting details about alpacas in the hampshire on Alpacas-Hampshire. |
