troop

Japanese: troop
troop

...Several bands may gather near nighttime shelters or watering places to form large groups of up to 750 animals. These are called troops, and are characterized by a strong local community character. A band may contain one male unit groups consisting of one male and several females and young, as well as several solitary males.

In Japanese, it is not unusual to use this word regardless of the species, but in English, a school is used for a group of swimming fish, a flock for a group of birds, a herd for a group of ungulates, a pack for a group of wolves, a pride for a group of lions, a pod for a small group of whales or seals, a group for an organized group of monkeys, and a troop for a relatively large group. These groups are divided into those with fixed members and those in which members of the same species, or individuals of the same age and species, or individuals of the same sex, can be freely replaced. …

【群れ】より
