Collective Nouns (updated)

I owe this post to Annette, whose story of Panda's and their collective name a pandemonium of Pandas sparked an idea in my mind.

When I was at school, a few years ago than I care to remember, we used to have a test on collective nouns seemingly every week, but then again my memory might be failing.

The Questions would be to fill in the missing gap

• A ............. of sheep (Flock)
  
• A herd of ........... (Cows)
  
• A ............. of bees (Swarm)
  
• A Pack of .......... (Dogs)

etc.. I enjoyed it at the time, I love challenges like this on words. So here's mine for you to test yourself on, knock yourselves out people - sadly there are no prizes for the right answer but it will be interesting to read your comments.

1. A Murder of ....Crows...............
2. A ....Gang......... of Elk
3. A String of ....Racehorses.....................
4. A Mob of ......Kangaroos.............
5. A ....drift ..........of Hogs
6. A Leap of .....Leopards.....................
7. A ....Richness ........... of Martens
8. A Bevy of ..Otters.......................
9. A ....Span........... of Oxen
10. A ....Crash.......... of Rhinocerouses
11. An ...Ambush.......... of Tigers
12. A Marvel of ...Unicorns..................

Update - have now put the right answers in.. go to the top of the class if you got 8 or more right.. collect the cheats card if you got all 12 as you probably looked them up on the internet.. I know I did ;-)

All are mammals (this time).... maybe my next one will be a different species.
