korhaan

Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: korhaans
form: korhaan
Etymology: Borrowed from Afrikaans korhaan.
Senses: examples: text: 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.

text: 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.
