The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese.
However, less widely known is a Murder of crows, an Exaltation of doves, and, presumably because they look so wise (?), a Parliament of owls.
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 of Baboons!
