iamcee: Correct! A group of pandas is called an embarrassment. However, they can also be called a cupboard of pandas or a bamboo of pandas. Here are some more interesting group names: DAZZLE of zebras. SMACK of jellyfish. CONSORTIUM of crabs. TOWER of giraffes. MURDER of crows. AURORA of polar bears. BLOOM of ladybirds. CONFUSION of wildebeest. etc. So, where did all these strange names come from? A lady from 15th Century England called Julia Berners published a book called "The Book of Hawking, Hunting and Blasing of Arms" in 1486. In the book she listed 165 collective nouns for groups of people and animals. 1 Like 2 Shares

prof2007: I have always considered the above the aptest of all animal group names. A 'tower' of giraffes. How fitting. |
