How Many do You Know?

Every child learns at school at some point learns a little about collective nouns, ie: a herd of cows, a school of fish, a flock of birds, but how many of the more unusual ones you do know about.

Here are some of the more unique examples, and yes, they are legitimate regardless of how weird they might sound!

* An asylum of cuckoos.
* A bevy of otters.
* A dazzle of zebras.
* A trogle of snakes.
* A horde of hamsters.
* An intrusion of cockroaches. (Not surprising really!)
* A knob of toads.
* A rout of snails.
* A murder of crows.
* An army of herring.
* A bushel of crabs.
* A crash of rhinoceroses.
* A coalition of cheetahs.
* A surfeit of skunks.
* A leap of lizards.
* A tower of giraffe.
* A turn of both turtles and tortoises.
* A wobble of ostriches.
