Geocache Description:


The geocache is not at the posted coordinates, but it is nearby.

I am not sure who decides what a collection of animals is called, but I have a feeling that alcohol and a lot of laughter are involved. How else can you explain some of them?

a Romp of Otters - a Scurry of Squirrels - an Army of Frogs

If you don't believe me, Google, "What is a collection of ________ called?"

For this puzzle, I have used some fairly common terms, so you probably won't have to look up very many of them.

Use the table below to match up the Group Name with the Animal by connecting the "x"s.  The ones that are used in this puzzle will pass through a number. In the example, "FAMILY" matches with "BEAVERS" and passes through the number "6".  As a result "E = 6". Since not all numbers are used in this puzzle, some Group/Animal matches do not pass through a number. That is by design.

Good luck -- have fun -- if you are wondering on which side of the fence the Talenti gelato container is on, look at the name of this geocache for a hint.
