Karoo Korhaan (Eupodotis vigorsii)
About the Karoo Korhaan
The karoo korhaan (Heterotetrax vigorsii), also known as karoo bustard, is a species of bird in the bustard family, Otididae, from Southern Africa. There are two subspecies, the nominate race, from south-eastern South Africa, and H. v. namaqua (Roberts, 1932), from north-western South Africa and southern Namibia. The karoo korhaan lives in a range of arid habitats associated with the karoo and other arid scrubland habitats found in western South Africa and Namibia. It is also found in slightly denser scrubland, preferring habitat with cover ranging from 10 to 50 cm (3.9–20 in) off the ground. A small population can also be found in karoo-like fynbos habitat in the Western Cape province.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 31 recordings for this species: 18 CC BY-NC-SA · 13 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
