What is a collective noun?
A collective noun is a word that describes a group of objects, such as frogs. While many collective nouns are rather general, some very specifically refer to a particular type of group, such as a "slither" of snakes. Here, "slither" is a collective noun used to refer specifically to a group of snakes. These very exact terms are called terms of venery, and refer to animal groups specifically.
Some collective nouns refer to groups, while others are more to the point of describing an aspect of an animal's habits. For example, a herd may refer specifically to a group of animals such as buffalo, while an exaltation refers to a characteristic of a group of larks.
I have written several lenses on collective nouns, grouped by types. I hope you will enjoy reading through them, and even adding one of your own in the feedback.

- I once stepped into a 'rhumba of rattlesnakes' as a young child! I was wading through the bushes in the fields near my house and they were quite young. I know angels had my back that day because I was not bit! Either way, a slither of snakes, quiver or cobras or rhumba of rattlers...ick! Very nice page though.
