A Kindle of Kittens. A Sloth of Bears. A Skulk of Foxes.

When animals go by more than one,

Their names can be a lot of fun.

For fish and birds there are odd words, too—

And the oddest thing is that they're all true.

 

So go now, peruse you!

May they amuse you,

May they surprise you

And even make wise you.

 

For no matter how curious,

Not one is spurious.
