Another\u00a0collective noun<\/a>\u00a0– today, a Pod of Walrus. Walrus appear to be \u00a0collective noun in of themselves, like “deer” or “fish”. Although, to be technical, when speaking of a group of different fish species, it is accurate to say “fishes”. P is a letter in the collective noun alphabet rife with possibility – it was hard to make a choice faced with options such as a prickle of hedgehogs, a passel of hogs, or the classic pride of lions. I stand by my decision – walrus are fun to draw.<\/p>\n

\nAnd why the sea is boiling hot–
\nAnd whether pigs have wings.”<\/p>\n
