Polyglots: do languages other than English have a rich vocabulary of collective nouns?

Asked by gorillapaws (31078points) August 30th, 2020

A pod of dolphins, a murder of crows, a pride of lions, all showcase a rich vocabulary for collective nouns that the English language celebrates. Is this phenomenon unique to English, or do other languages also have a rich vocabulary for collective nouns?
