Hello !

Dakir, Fantaisie should have given more details in what he wants us to do.
We're to find out the name given to these goups of animals.
Here's what I can say about this :

- a tribe of baboons
- a sloth of bears
- a swarm of bees
- a flock of birds
- a rabble of butterflies
- a clutter of cats
- a peep of chickens
- a cartload of chimpanzees
- a bed of clams
- a band of coyotes
- a float of crocodiles
- a herd of donkeys
- a pack of dogs
- an aerie of eagles
- a lead of foxes

See you !
