Bob Burnett from Barefoot mining.
The three categories are:
Elephants: large, easy to target.
Wild horses: midsize, often in herds but might just be a few. Harder to target because they run fast and change direction quickly.
Rabbits: small, usu individual miners, hard to see them and, thus, the hardest to target. Lots of them, multiply quickly, and disappear into the grasses/underground dens in a flash.
Thanks (and @PentaSophia ). Such categorisations are pretty helpful because they emphasise the dynamics. Thinking too statically seems like a common mistake.
