Quotes by Leila Philip (?)

“More beavers surface; the water is now moving with the shapes of many slick brown bodies. Whales swim in pods, wolves travel in packs, crows descend in a murder, while owls form a parliament, but there is no word for groups of beaver because they are rarely seen together like this.”
― Leila Philip, Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America
