“A Conspiracy”: 50 Of The Funniest Names For Groups Of Animals That Are Totally Real

Some animals live in groups, as opposed to wandering in solitude, so they can protect themselves from dangers lurking around every corner. Each group has its own quirks in how it runs things in its community, which, of course, calls for a different name. People have taken the creative liberty to come up with them, which aren’t always as scientific or serious as we might imagine. For example, a group of jays is called a party, while a community of clams is called a bed.
