I recently put up some Halloween decorations in my cube.  Ravens, mice,
ratty cloth, etc.  i realized this morning that one of the benefits of
putting up more than one raven was that I could call them “A murder of
ravens”!

but then I doubted myself.  I knew that a collection of crows was
called a “murder” but I needed to double check on ravens.  So I looked
it up and they are indeed referred to as a “murder” or an “unkindness”!

I had a pretty good laugh over that and wondered what other collections of animals were called.

For example and prickle of porcupines.  how silly.  A “mob” of meerkats.  I kind of like that one! 

One I didn’t quite believe was a “stench of schnauzers”!!

hilarious.

Have you ever wondered what you call a collection of sasquatches is called?

They may be imaginary, but I guess people still talk about them.
