Example Sentences
- "During the last three months, of my stay, labba meat (Cœlogenys paca), which is justly looked upon as the caviare of the bush, was fairly plentiful. This was due to a small black and white dog, belonging to one of the boat hands, which hunted labba excellently; sometimes killing four or five in a morning, and once even six."
- "Game included accouries (a kind of guinea pig), water-dogs (otters), labbas (hollow cheek pacas), deer, wild hogs, mypouris (tapirs), monkeys, sloths, water haas (capybaras), armadillos, snakes, tigers, jaguars, iguanas, manatees (sea cows), etc."
