A herd is a social group of specific animals of a similar type or species. It can be either wild or domestic.

Herding is a term used for the coordinative behavior of large groups of the same creatures. The word 'herd' mostly applies to mammals, especially to the grazing ungulates such as rhinoceros, pigs, giraffes, horses, sheep, and deer.


Sometimes, the same term is used for groups of different animals. For example, a group of birds is known as a flock, but this term also uses certain animal groups like sheep or goats.

Some animal groups are humongous like the large million-strong wildebeest, great migrations, or small like a pride of lions. So, this free printable herd coloring pages resource provides an opportunity for kids to learn more about groups of various life forms.

Did you know? A gang of gorillas is known as a band, whereas a group of owls is known as a parliament.
