OP If you tell me what 'breaking your quote'means , I will tell you that the guan thing is not that important. Foreing language use always brings it's little ups and downs and misunderstandings.
More interesting in this "Gorilla incident" is that after the experts have been looking close to the film material, the actual conclusion is that it was the dragged-away woman who had in her ignorance been provoquing the gorilla. (no teasing boys).The animal was man-raised and in close human contact up to age seven. He now is age 11 and still responds to humans quite strongly.
The woman visited the gorilla 3 times a week, building up an understanding or rather misunderdstanding (sorry, both ways of course)-: from the gorilla's point of vieuw, he thought it was time for her to get submissive and join his harem. He did not accept her walking away
any more.( the zoo's biologist said this gorilla sees/knows the difference between male and female humans).
Had she not panicked no harm might have come to her, (just like in the King Kong movie). But she did and the animal did.
This is the latest "theory" as I just followed it on the news.

By breaking the quote, I mean how you broke the quote out of the quoted material. I mean you started and/or stopped your quote in an odd spot, for example:.Quote:tarted and/or stopped your quote in an
I don't know where the "Penelopina:" came from that's not in the article and then you stopped with the first title of a formatted list. It almost sounds like there is a bird with the genus and species of Penelopina penelopina.

OP Guan
Little list. As far as I'm concerned, may the guan fly where ever he wants to, be it genus Penelope or genus Penelopina or the both of them.
Quote:genus Penelope
Some Penelopes may be gen(i)uses.
