Examples

“They are hunting the fabled paauw. However, since paauw are sighted only once or twice a year - so rare are they, indeed, that there is a fine of fifty pounds for shooting them, if you are caught — they settle⟳ for hunting korhaan.”

“If it is assumed that delayed dispersal is the norm amongst korhaans then the karoo korhaan has a lower fecundity than the other members of the species complex. This suggests that the karoo sensu lato is a less favourable environment for korhaans than is either the desert, savannah, or grassland.”

“Korhaans, like⟳ this red-crested korhaan (above, MU), generally rely⟳ on their camouflage to avoid⟳ danger. But breeding males, like⟳ this northern black korhaan (right, PP) give⟳ themselves away with raucous and conspicuous displays.”
