Did they name them correctly ??

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with a

  • Herd of cows and a  Flock of chickens,
  • School of fish  and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is a

  • Pride of lions  and a Exaltation of doves
  • Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens)
  • Parliament of owls – presumably because they look so wise.

Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the

  • loudest, most dangerous
  • most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive
  • and least intelligent of all primates.

And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

Believe it or not ……. a Congress!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!  Thus end’eth your English lesson for today.
