By the way, Paul, I wasted some time a little while ago trying to find out the appropriate word for multiple jackals. I haven't found anything definitive, but the reigning casual use seems to be "pack."

And just for fun, here's some more I've discovered in my search:

  • a bevy of quail
  • a shrewdness of apes
  • a crash of rhinos
  • a sleuth of bears
  • an exaltation of larks
  • a bale of turtles

    A crash of rhinos. How perfect.
