Pronunciation varies by accent · noun
Any of several large, terrestrial birds in the bustard family Otididae..
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.
Use korhaan when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
