Moose.

Deer.

Giraffe.

Singular AND plural.

 Plural of giraffe is giraffes.

You're correct on the other two, though.

 Interesting. Merriam-Webster says that the plural for giraffe is either giraffes or giraffe. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gir affe

okay now say "a group of moose" out loud.... use moose as the plural.... it just doesnt sound right.... it has to be meese.... like geese?!?!?

I was kidding, it's moose, 1 goose, 2 geese, but 1 moose, 2 moose.

moose aren't really very social.  if you see more than one, it's probably a cow with calves or maybe two juvenile siblings together.

and yes, they're still called moose.

Intesesting list including amoung others, a clowder or clutter of cats.

they are very much a gang, and beyond the scope of ordinary social work skills.  big, scary mafuggas - don't even think of getting out of your car!

I am suprised nobody has quoted Brian Regan yet!

“What’s the plural for moose?”

“Moosen! I saw a flock of MOOSEN! There were many of ‘em. Many much moosen. Out in the woods…in the wood-es…in the woodsen. The meese want the food in the woodesen…food is the eatenesen…the meese want the food in the woodesenes…food in the woodesenes.”

^ one thing that doesn't work is if you yell, Go on! Shoo! Shoo cow! at them

they won't so much as raise an eyebrow, never mind getting out of the road so you can drive on
