예문

Faeders, male ruffs that mimic females in plumage and "sneak" copulations at leks, secrete monoesters like other males.

These “faeder” males, as they are called, were found to have testes 2.5 times larger than those of normal males during the peak breeding time of late April and are delightfully termed “sneakers.”
