#73 - Yellow - Animal Magic

We're very jealous of whoever gets to give names to collections of animals. What a great job. Hats off to the person who decided to name a group of gnus as an 'implausibility'.
There are twelve more below. Can you hook up the animals with their correct collective nouns?
LOCUSTS........................PARLIAMENT
LIONS.....................................TOWER
MONKEYS.............................CULTURE
RATTLESNAKES......................MURDER
LIZARDS..................................PRIDE
JELLYFISH..............................PLAGUE
CROWS.................................RHUMBA
ANTS.....................................LOUNGE
OWLS......................................TROOP
RAVENS..................................SMACK
GIRAFFES.......................UNKINDNESS
BACTERIA.............................COLONY

Puzzle set by Anna

Map on back shows all water

(dots not on card - only way I could figure to get opposite lists)

Monkeys -- Troop
Rattlesnakes -- Rhumba
Lizards -- Lounge
Jellyfish -- Smack
Crows -- Murder
Ants -- Colony
Owls -- Parliament
Ravens -- Unkindness
Giraffes -- Tower

Surely they must've got this wrong? It should be a Parliament of monkeys? Makes more sense to me... Wink

I don't know what the proper name for a group of platypi is, but my friends and I have all come to the agreement that it at least OUGHT to be a "mistake."
