What Is A Group Of Cobras Called

So the other day I found out what the name for a collective group of owls is (it’s a parliament, by the way), and that set me to thinking: what other strange and cool names are there for groups of animals?

So I had a look and it turns out there’s quite a few!

So I compiled an A-Z list of the collective names for groups of animals! The name for monkeys is my favorite, what’s yours?
