SOME NOTES ON FAUNA
A Pack- Has a designated leader – and will harry and hunt and stalk – if you are lower in size or strength.
A Herd – Usually migrating – will not attack unless provoked.
A Flock – Usually migrating – can fly – scatter when anything approaches – complex hierarchy.
A Party – Each member has a role – has strategies as a group.
A School – Move as a unit all at once – group thinking.
Anything not in these groupings is implied to be solitary, and some solitary things logically hunt, some migrate, some form mated pairs or reproduce infrequently.
