Collective Nouns for Mammals

Start Exploring Mammal Group Names

Mammals are some of the most fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom, and their collective nouns are just as unique. From a pride of lions to a romp of otters, each group name tells a story about behavior, folklore, or history. That being said, sometimes the collective noun used to describe “a group of..” animals is just outright odd or comical, sometimes even both!

Below you’ll find a growing list of mammals and their collective nouns. Scan the list to find the one you’re interested in or browse them all and possibly learn something new! If you want more information, click to read the full articles, where available. As previously mentioned, this is a “growing” list and many more will be added so make sure to come back again to see the updated list. If you’d like us to prioritize an animal that’s not yet live or is missing from the list, send us a message and we’ll make it a priority.
