I see your bird in the hand and raise you two platypuses.

The only hard part of an octopus is their beak, so if it can fit, they can fit.

That's some pretty impressive balance.

I'm not positive, but I think this is a Harris Antelope Squirrel, who live out here in Arizona. We have tons of them at the park where I ride my bike and we hike with the dogs.

What is a group of pigs called?

"A group of pigs is called a drift or drove. A group of young pigs is called a litter. A group of hogs is called a passel or team. A group of swine is called a sounder."

Sometimes I feel like you could just make up a term except now there's the internet....

I wonder how they come up with those, some feel kind of random, like a murder of crows or a clouder of cats.

I would guess old-world terms that "stuck". As far as meanings, who knows? "Clowder" is described as a group of cats, so a clowder of cats is a bit repetitive.

Origin of clowder: First recorded in 1795–1805; variant of dialectal clodder “clotted mass,” noun use of clodder “to clot, coagulate,” Middle English clothered, clothred (past participle), variant of clotered; compare obsolete clotter “to huddle together”; see clutter
