(^_^) - Names for Various Animal Groups

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a
...
Herd of cows,
Flock of chickens,
School of fish
And a Gaggle of geese, and
A Pride of lions.
However, less widely known is:
A Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),
An Exaltation of doves


Now consider a group of Baboons.
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive of all primates ...

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

Believe it or not

A CONGRESS !

YEP... A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!

Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?

... You just can't make this up.
