Animal group names that drive me nuts

There are various words for social animal groups that really drove me nuts.  

A herd of , commonly applies to herbivore groups, such as antelepope, wilderbeast, elephant, zebra, buffalo, etc. a herd of humans also holds. But not necessarily unique, e.g. elephant groups can also be parade,etc.etc. 

The carnivore groups were usually assigned with distinctive words by some herds of humans.

Here I listed a few, there are a lot more 

• A lion pride: Lions are the only social big cats, live in family units called prides.
• A Cheetahs coalition: Cheetahs are usually solitary cat, but a few males of direct kinship can form a team called coalition for hunting and defending advantages.
• so as male lions, the grown up male cubs will be expiled by their father to form their own prides, a few brothers can form a coalition, with the number advantages they are at upper hand to challenge a single lion king.   
•  A school of fish?????? what's the sense of school in here?
