Clue in a local quiz.

Which large ungainly animals rejoice in the collective noun "Clash"?

The only animal I can find that clash is the collective noun for is a Buck, but I can't really call them large and ungainly. Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?

Probably is a mistake and should be crash. Think I will risk it and put Rhino. Thanks you two very much for responding to my question.
I would go for 'bucks' Large male deer.
I think the word clash comes from when they're fighting over a female, clashing their antlers together.
And they're not exactly small and dainty, are they ?
It IS bucks. I googled "collective nouns for animals" and it can be brace or clash.

Thanks Taddie and Podger123. I will rethink putting Rhino. Having realized that Bucks are large stags it makes sense to put that.
