Can anyone help with this please, Collective noun for a group of gorillas. Have done a fair bit of reserach and not come up with any likely words, probably something very very simple,would be very appreciative thank you.

[redman41]

The only one that I know is Shrewdness of Apes

[redman41]

Have just found this........ Band of Gorillas

[mazie]

according to this article it's a Band of Gorillas

Thank you redman41 and mazie, l have gone for shrewdness of gorillas as it fits in with the letters l have already got,and also it has helped me get the complete answer to the crossword, many many thanks :-} :-}

[ventpeg]

very strange ....,
as collective noun 'shrewdness' is used for Apes.

Band of Gorillas is one answer

A Whoop of Gorillas is another.

(Collective nouns for animals often identify with the noise emitted by such animal , or the behaviou rof such an animal)

[ventpeg]

i don't know where christine comes into this .....

A whoop of gorillas is correct

[kellee]

l have taken shrewdness of gorillas as the answer because much as it sounds good,-whoop- does not fit,not enough letters for a start, and might l add tallulah,if you have nothing positive to say, butt out.

[Tallulah!]

Whoop is incorrect because kellee has omitted to give the letters she already has nor the number of letters in the grid.
