        A group of puffins is called a ‘lot’ of puffins. Well, by me it is. I find this collective noun works with most groups of animals.

        I had known that but had forgotten it. Fab piece of trivia. Even better than knowing that Subbuteo was named after the Eurasian hobby

        Stephen Fry said so. Of all 'QI' facts, I thought this worth remembering. "Think I don't know about puffins, eh? Go on, ask me. I dare you," said nobody ever.

        The orangutan, however, has the best Latin name of all: Pongo Pygmaeus, which means the Little... *checks notes* ...Pongo.

        This is even more unfair as the famous puffins aren't the original holders of the name. It was originally for the Manx shearwater and later re-applied.
