The Leader of the Band

Exploring the fascinating terminology of animal group names, this book delves into unique designations such as a "Murder of Crows" and a "Pride of Lions." It highlights lesser-known classifications, particularly in the primate world, including the intriguing "Congress" of chimpanzees and "Band" of gorillas. A significant focus is on the ancient Gigantopithecus, a mysterious and colossal species of gorilla, whose size remains largely unknown due to limited fossil evidence, making it the largest ape known to have existed.
