I have found a few terms, so just need your opinions as to which to use:

Skulk

Cloud

Troop

Company

Leash

Earth

[scorpiojo]

Leash/skulk

[excelsior-1]

troop would be the most appropriate

[brainiac]

Concise Oxford Thesaurus says Skulk

[shoota]

Can I suggest another?

A stink of foxes.

[Sycamore3House]

A skulk is a group of foxes

[Baldric]

Wiki gives LEASH & SKULK

[mallyh]

my book gives skulk

[gness]

I've always used Skulk, Tuvok. Ignore Shoota....he's typing one handed today....he meant Skulk too....☺

[shoota]

You ever smelled 'em?

[jomifl]

only from a distance :o)

[shoota]

A 'leash' implies a brace and a half (three) so if you are talking about more then 'skulk' is the way to go.



Or 'stink'.....

[Tuvok]

Not the first time I've got multiple answers for a quiz question!

I'm going to put them all in, but I'll opt for the majority one from here as my first answer.

I'll pick the majority one later this afternoon.

[shoota]

I'd discount 'leash' Tuvok as that can be applied to a brace and a half of many animals (hounds, deer, etc.)

I have, Shoota....but then I'm the one who loves sleeping under a duvet smelling of sheep...☺

Good luck, T.

I would go with Skulk

[Baldric]

Skulk, 'cause it's what the murderous little beggers do!

[Tuvok]

Skulk seems to be the majority.
