The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with

Herd of cows,

Flock of chickens,

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?
