Travel Challenge February 2009
Filed under: Travel Challenge by on 2/15/2009
During our travels across the country we’ve had the opportunity to see and learn about some of the amazing critters that share our North American home. Part of our newfound knowledge of species includes the descriptive—often fun and sometimes just plain odd—names given to groups of animals (e.g. “murder of crows”).
Our challenge to you this month is this: Match the group name with the correct critter.
| Group Name | Animal |
|---|---|
| Gang | Pheasants |
| Charm | Hummingbirds |
| Romp | Elk |
| Bouquet | Otters |
| Sleuth | Swans |
| Army | Bears |
| Brace | Turtles |
| Convocation | Caterpillars |
| Wedge | Ducks |
| Bale | Eagles |
