A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with
A Herd of cows,
A Flock of chickens,
A School of fish
A Gaggle of geese, and
A Pride of lions.
However, less widely known is:
A Murder of crows
(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),
An Exaltation of doves
And, presumably because they look so wise:
A Congress of owls.
Now consider a group of Baboons.
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.........
And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?
Believe it or not ……. A Parliament

YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?
You just can’t make this stuff up.
