Army ants might victimize reptiles, birds, and even little creatures. Sending you Angels this 29th day of our new year. Archived from on June 16, 2007. Descriptive name, but ridiculous nonetheless.

Field ant Formica Employees differ in dimension from 4 to 8 millimeters long. Now, I would think the baby would be called a calf, but no, it is a hatchling.

Keep up with Mother Nature

Sometimes animals have rather unusual names. Below is a list of some funny animal names. The list contains their names as males, females, babies and groups. I really found this rather interesting and sometimes hysterical. You can see how some of them got their names and others... A male alligator is called a bull, and the female is called a cow. Now, I would think the baby would be called a calf, but no, it is a hatchling. A group of alligators is called a congregation. That makes me think of church! A group of young alligators is called a pod. Now this should be easy! A male is called a male, a female is called a female and a baby is called a baby. Okay, so where do they come up with a group of apes is called, a shrewdness! The definition for shrewd is a keen awareness, sharp intelligence and sometimes tricky. Does this mean that they are only smart when there are a group of them? There is little imagination used here. The male is simply a male. The female is called a female and a baby cheetah is a cub. Ok, but a lion male is a lion and a female is a lioness. A group of cheetahs is called a coalition. A coalition is defined as a temporary union of two groups, especially political groups. Does this mean that a cheetah can run for president? Hey, I think we could use a third option! A male crow is a cock and a female crow is a hen. A baby crow is a chick. Nothing unusual here, right? Wait for it … a group of crows is called a muster or a murder. A murder, where the heck did they come up with that? Does that mean that a group of crows are killers? That show had me scared of black birds for years! Maybe there was really something to it! Here is a good one! A male donkey is called a jack or a jackass. Have they been listening to me talk about my previous boss? Donkeys are known to be stubborn, hence the nickname for people that are stubborn. Does this mean that I can get by with calling my hubby a jackass? A female donkey is called a jenny or a jennet. Hey, we women can be stubborn too! At least that is what my hubby says. A baby donkey is a colt or a foal. I guess they are too young to be stubborn yet. Try to figure this one out! A male ferret is called a hob. What is a hob? The dictionary defines a hob as a place to keep pans warm on a fireplace. What does this have to do with a ferret? Does he curl around your pot to keep it warm? A female ferret is called a jill. A baby ferret is called a kit. Ok, to me that is somewhere around kitten, so not too bad. Now a group of ferrets are called a business. I have no idea! Now I have heard some businesses be referred to as sharks or snakes, but never compared to ferrets! A male fox is called a reynard. The only definition for reynard is the name of a fox in a mid-evil fable. So I guess they just called a male fox, a male fox prior to the fable. Now a female fox is called a vixen. A vixen is defined as a quarrelsome or spiteful woman. Anyway, a baby fox is called a kit, cub or a pup. A group of fox is called a leash or a skulk. The verb form of the word skulk is to lie in hiding or move about stealthily. I guess that makes sense since fox are rarely seen in the wild. The males are called bucks and the females are called does. I think of deer when I hear buck or doe. I thought a buck was something with big antlers, not a cute little fuzzy thing that I used to keep in a cage in my bedroom when I was a kid. A baby gerbil or hamster is called a pup. A group of gerbils or hamsters is called a horde. How can a group of anything so cute and fuzzy be called a horde! A male kangaroo is called a buck, boomer or a jack. A female is called a doe, flyer, jill or a roo. A baby kangaroo is just called a joey. Why not Jackie if a male kangaroo is called a jack. Jackie could be either a male of a female baby. A group of kangaroos is called a troup, herd or a mob. Now I have seen some people in a mob, jumping around like kangaroos, but I never thought of a group of kangaroos as being a mob. This one makes more sense to me than most. Until several years ago, I thought a peacock was a peacock. Anyway, a peacock is a male peafowl. A female is called a peahen and a baby is a peachick. A group of peafowl is called a muster or an ostentation. Somebody knew what they were doing with this one! A male swan is called a cob. A female swan is called a pen. I could not find a reason for this. A baby swan is a cygnet. The constellation Cygnus is from the Latin word for swan. No one knows for sure which came first, the naming of the baby swan after the constellation or the constellation being named after a baby swan. A group of swans is called a herd, wedge, team or even bevy. A male turkey is called a Tom. The female is a hen and a baby turkey is called a poult. Did someone just run out of ideas and energy here? Poult, I guess is short for poultry. A group of turkey is called a rafter. A rafter is described as an odd and motley collection of people or things. I love turkey and I love to listen to them gobble, but I have seen better-looking birds! Gator went to the store pretending to be hungry for 'tators, But the proprietor saw the ruse and knew he would plate her! Crows are actually quite murderous toward other birds, especially when they do not have other easy targets! And the last one sure makes a political statement about our country's leadership in the world today. Ferret, maybe the female Ferret should be called knob, then the two could hob-knob and could really knit a kit and then they would be in business. So would a baby male Kangaroo, be called a joeybuck or a buckaroo. As in roll call, assembly, gathering, congregation. They may want to re-think the Muster if the alligators are in the congregation. Voted up +++++ and shared. Some of these are really cute. I always had questions too about certain things, like alligators. They used every name in the book for them. In fact, it refers to a group of adolescents doing nothing or to a group of females in general Hmmm... It makes you think. Do geese just sit around and do nothing all day? Anyway I appreciate the witty way you delivered this article and your sense of humour. It made it very lively. Thanks for sharing this with us.. Sending you Angels this 29th day of our new year. I thought the same thing.... A murder or crows.... I guess we should be glad we learned English as a first language, huh! That's a great idea, a person could use some of these playing Scrabble and clean up! Thanks for commenting and the share! Some of them are really funny. When I hear the word rafter... I think of a building term. Of course it could also be a person floating down a river in a raft. No wonder they say English is the hardest language to learn! Up, useful and interesting. This is great for people who play word games or do crossword puzzles. Someone had asked a question somewhere about what the name of a baby animals was, I don't remember exactly. I knew most names of baby animals, but not this one. When I looked it up, I found this information interesting as well as amusing, so I thought I would write a hub on it. I think your children will enjoy it. Thank you for stopping in and commenting, it is always appreciated! Have a wonderful day! Thank you for all your kind words. I really enjoyed writing this hub. My hubby and I laughed so hard at some of these names! I will look for the movie, I really like Cuba Gooding Jr! Thank you for stoppin in and leaving such a nice comment, it is always appreciated! Have a wonderful day! Learning all the funny names amused and amazed me. I shall share this with my grandson and we will go over it together. He loves stuff like this. A movie called A Murder of Crows featuring Cuba Gooding Jr is fantastic f you can find it. Thanks for this great Hub. I'm not sure where I got the idea for this either. I think I saw a question somewhere about names of baby animals and I thought it might be fun. Now I know what my hubby is really saying when he tells me I'm foxy!!! LOL Thank you for your kind words and all your support! It is greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day! Enjoyed reading all these things. Despite growing up on a farm with poultry farmers all around, never heard of some of those things about swans, peafoul, or especially, turkeys. I always thought jackass was the politically correct form of asshole -- when referring to humans. I didn't know jackass meant stubborn. I enjoy learning things about animals, no matter how crazy they may be. I was truly scratching my head, wondering where in the world they came up with some of these names. I'm glad you enjoyed my hub. Thank you for your kind comment and vote. It is always appreciated! Have a wonderful day! I saw a question somewhere, someone was asking what a baby animal was called. I am a big animal lover and that just sounded like a good hub to me. As I was writing it, I had to add some of my funny thoughts to it. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind comment and vote! Have a wonderful day! There were a lot here I didn't know either. I found some of them particularly funny. Glad I could help!

A group of young alligators is called a pod. And they are literally pink. A group of cheetahs is called a coalition. But they are also caballeros who can easily become bored with a single routin. Now I have seen some people in a mob, jumping around like kangaroos, but I never thought of a group of kangaroos as being a mob. Try to figure this one out. Funny jokes about animals - Pigeon A kid jesus his mom: - Mummy, look - a pigeon!!.
