Lounge of Lizards

Is a group of turtles really called a herd? I'm not so sure. I turned to my good friend Mr. Google.

A group of turtles is called a bale. That doesn't roll off the tongue quite like "a herd of turtles" though. Bales are for hay, right? Other choices for identifying the little turtle group are dole and turn. I like the sound of "a turn of turtles."

I did a little more research into the animals of Jamaica and came up with a fun (or cheesy) game for your enjoyment. If you'd like to play, there's a prize for the winner. What's the point of playing if there's no prize?

Match the animal with its group name. You know, like a group of crows is a murder. A group of lions is a pride. A group of lizards is a lounge. Easy enough.

No cheating. You can work together but you'll just have to split the prize. You know what I mean by cheating anyway. Good grief, just be honest. Use your brain.

1. mongoose .................. A. brood
2. manatee ................... B. charm
3. hummingbird ............... C. bask
4. crocodile ................. D. herd
5. parrot .................... E. asylum
6. bat ....................... F. business
7. frog ...................... G. flock
8. cuckoo .................... H. knot
9. pelican ................... I. pandemonium
10. snake .................... J. cloud

Just make a comment to this post with your educated guesses. The person with the most correct wins a prize. You'll have to wait for the next time we come to Grandma's to collect the prize but it will be worth the wait.

I'm really hoping someone besides Dan plays my silly little game.

Good luck.
