Just got my new National Geographic. While reading it, I came to a new
section called, "Ask Us". One of the questions this month asked, " If a
group of geese is a 'flock' and a group of wolves is a 'pack'. what do you
call a group of bears?" N.G. then proceeded to name a number of 'groups'
and guess what?!! Our beloved ferret group is there, only instead of a
'business' of ferrets, N.G. reports a 'busyness' of ferrets. Interesting.
Close but different. I actually like 'busyness' better than 'business'.
It fits our little monsters better! Oh, yes, a group of bears is called
a 'sloth'.
