ISavannah (ikati lesiNgisi i-Savannah) luhlobo lwamakati afuywayo, azalwa ngenxa yokuwela amakati asendle ase-Afrika kanye namakati asekhaya. Usayizi omkhulu, ukubukeka kwendle, ubuhle, yilokho okuhlukanisa lolu hlobo. Kepha, kufanele ukhokhele yonke into, futhi ama-savanna abiza kakhulu, akuvamile futhi ukuthenga ikati lekhwalithi akuyona umsebenzi olula kangako.
Umlando wozalo
Lokhu kuyinhlanganisela yekati elijwayelekile, elifuywayo kanye nekati lasendle noma ikati lasehlathini. Le ngxubevange engavamile isiyathandwa kakhulu phakathi kwezimfundamakhwela kusukela ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye, kwathi ngo-2001 i-International Cat Association yabona iSavannah njengohlobo olusha, kwathi ngoMeyi 2012 iTICA yanikeza isikhundla sokuba ngumpetha wohlobo.
Futhi indaba yaqala ngo-Ephreli 7, 1986, lapho uJadi Frank ewela ikati laseServal (eliphethwe uSusie Woods) nekati lamaSiamese. Ikati elizelwe laqanjwa ngokuthi iSavannah, yingakho igama lalo lonke uhlobo lwahamba. Wayengummeleli wokuqala wohlobo kanye nesizukulwane sokuqala se-nzalo (F1).
Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakungekho lutho olucacile ngokuzala kwamakati amasha, noma kunjalo, uSavannah wayengeyinyumba futhi wazalwa ngamakati amaningi, okwethula isizukulwane esisha - iF2.
USusie Wood wabhala izindatshana ezimbili komagazini ngalolu hlobo, futhi baheha uPatrick Kelly, owayephupha ngokuthola uhlobo olusha lwamakati olungafana nesilwane sasendle ngangokunokwenzeka. Uxhumane noSuzy noJadi, kepha bebengenayo intshisekelo yokuqhubeka nomsebenzi wamakati.
Ngakho-ke, uPatrick wathenga amakati kubo, azalwa yi-Savannah futhi wamema abalimi abaningana bezinsizakalo ukuthi babambe iqhaza ekuzaleni. Kepha, bambalwa kakhulu kubo ababa nentshisekelo kulokhu. Lokho akuzange kumvimbe uPatrick, wagcina esekholisile umfuyi oyedwa, uJoyce Sroufe, ukuba ahlanganyele. Ngalesi sikhathi, amazinyane esizukulwane se-F2 abeletha, kwavela isizukulwane se-F3.
Ngo-1996, uPatrick noJoyce benza indinganiso yokuzalanisa futhi bayethula kwi-The International Cat Association.
UJoyce Srouf ube ngumfuyi ophumelele kakhulu futhi uthathwa njengomsunguli. Ngenxa yokubekezela kwakhe, ukuphikelela nokuzethemba, kanye nolwazi olujulile lwezakhi zofuzo, amazinyane amaningi azalwa kunabanye abalimi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukufuya kwakhe kwaba ngomunye wabokuqala ukwethula amazinyane ezizukulwane zakamuva namakati avundile. UJoyce futhi waba ngowokuqala ukwethula lolu hlobo olusha emhlabeni embukisweni owawuseNew York ngo-1997.
Njengoba usuthandwa futhi uthandeka, lo mhlobo wasetshenziselwa ukukhwabanisa, okwaholela ekutheni umgulukudu ogama lakhe linguSimon Brody adlulisele iF1 Savannah ngohlobo lwe-Ashera aludalayo.
Incazelo yohlobo
Mude futhi mncane, ama-savanna abonakala esinda kunalokho ayikho ngempela. Usayizi uncike kakhulu esizukulwaneni nobulili, amakati e-F1 imvamisa ngobukhulu.
IGenerations F1 ne-F2 imvamisa yiyona enkulu kunazo zonke, ngenxa yokuthi zisenegazi eliqinile le-serval yase-Afrika. Yi-F1 edume kakhulu futhi eyigugu, njengoba iningi layo lifana namakati asendle, futhi ngokuqhubekayo, okuncane okufana nokufana.
Amakati alesi sizukulwane angaba nesisindo esingu-6.3-11.3 kg, kanti kamuva lawo asevele efinyelela ku-6.8 kg, mude futhi made kunekati elijwayelekile, kepha ahlukile ngesisindo.
Isikhathi sokuphila sifinyelela eminyakeni eyi-15-20. Njengoba kunzima ukuthola amazinyane, futhi ahluke kakhulu ngokwezakhi zofuzo, ubukhulu bezilwane bungahluka kakhulu, ngisho nakudoti ofanayo.
Baqhubeka bekhula kuze kube yiminyaka emithathu, ngenkathi bekhula ngobude ngonyaka wokuqala, futhi ngemuva kwalokho bangangeza amasentimitha ambalwa. Futhi ziba yimisipha ngaphezulu ngonyaka wesibili wokuphila.
Ijazi kufanele libonwe, izilwane ezinamabala kuphela ezihlangabezana nezinga le-TICA, njengoba izinsizakalo zasendle zinephethini ezikhunjeni zazo.
Lawa ikakhulukazi amabala amnyama noma ansundu amnyama ahlakazekile phezu kwejazi. Kepha, njengoba zihlala ziwela ngezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zekati ezifuywayo (kufaka iBengal ne-Egypt Mau), kunemibala eminingi engajwayelekile.
Imibala engajwayelekile ifaka phakathi: i-harlequin, emhlophe (iphuzu-lombala), okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, isinamoni, ushokoledi, i-lilac nezinye iziphambano ezitholakala kumakati afuywayo.
Izinhlobo ze-savannah exotic zihlotshaniswa ikakhulu nezici zofuzo zensizakalo. Lokhu kufaka: amabala esikhunjeni; izindlebe eziphakeme, ezibanzi, eziqondile ezinamathiphu ayindilinga; imilenze emide kakhulu; lapho imile, imilenze yakhe yangemuva iphakeme kunangaphambili.
Ikhanda liphakeme kunokubanzi, futhi lihlala entanyeni ende, enomusa.
Ngemuva kwezindlebe kunamabala afana namehlo. Umsila mfushane, unamasongo amnyama nethiphu emnyama. Amehlo eKittens aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, kepha njengoba ekhula, angajika abe luhlaza, nsundu, negolide.
Ukuzala kanye nezakhi zofuzo
Njengoba ama-savanna atholakala ngokuwela iseva yasendle namakati asekhaya (amakati aseBengal, i-Oriental Shorthair, iSiamese ne-Mau yaseGibhithe, kusetshenziswa amakati afuywayo), isizukulwane ngasinye sithola inombolo yaso.
Isibonelo, amakati azalwa ngqo kusuka esiphambanweni esinjalo aqokelwa njenge-F1 futhi angama-50% weserali.
IGeneration F1 kunzima kakhulu ukuyithola, ngenxa yokwehluka kwesikhathi ekukhuleni kwengane emakati nasensimini (izinsuku ezingama-65 nezingama-75 ngokulandelana), nomehluko ekwakhiweni kofuzo.
Isikhathi esiningi amazinyane ayafa noma azalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinsizakalo zesilisa zikhetha kakhulu abesifazane futhi kaningi ziyenqaba ukuhlangana namakati ajwayelekile.
Isizukulwane F1 singaba ngaphezulu kwe-75% Serval, iGeneration F2 25% kuye ku-37.5% (ngomunye wabazali besizukulwane sokuqala), kanye ne-F3 12.5% noma kunjalo.
Njengoba ziyimbumba, zivame ukuhlushwa inzalo, abesilisa bakhulu ngosayizi kepha bayinyumba kuze kufike esizukulwaneni se-F5, yize abesifazane bevundile kusuka esizukulwaneni se-F1. Ngo-2011, abalimi banake ukungakhulisi inzalo yamakati angaphambi kokuzalwa kwamakati e-F6-F5.
Uma ucabanga ngabo bonke ubunzima, amakati wesizukulwane F1-F3, njengomthetho, asetshenziswa ngamakati wokuzala, futhi amakati kuphela athengiswayo. Isimo esiphambene senzeka esizukulwaneni se-F5-F7, lapho amakati eshiyelwa ukuzalanisa futhi kuthengiswa amakati.
Uhlamvu
Lawa makati avame ukuqhathaniswa nezinja ngokwethembeka kwawo, angalandela umnikazi wawo, njengenja ethembekile, futhi abekezelele ngokuphelele ukuhamba nge-leash.
Amanye ama-savanna aphuma kalula futhi anobungane kubantu, izinja, namanye amakati, kanti amanye angaqala ukuhaya uma kufika umuntu ongamazi.
Ubungane kubantu nasezilwaneni kuyisihluthulelo sokukhulisa izinyane lekati.
Qaphela ukuthambekela kwala makati okugxumela phezulu, athanda ukugxumela eziqandisini, ifenisha ende noma ngaphezulu komnyango. Ezinye zazo ziyakwazi ukweqa zisuka endaweni ziye ekuphakameni kwamamitha ayi-2,5.
Banelukuluku lokwazi, basheshe bathole ukuthi bangazivula kanjani izicabha namakhabethe, futhi abantu abazothenga la makati kufanele banakekele ukuthi izilwane zabo ezifuywayo zingangeni enkingeni.
Iningi lama-savanna awawesabi amanzi futhi adlala ngawo, kanti amanye aze awathande namanzi futhi ajule ngenjabulo eshaweni kumnikazi. Iqiniso ngukuthi emvelweni, amaseva abamba amaxoxo nezinhlanzi, futhi awawesabi amanzi nhlobo. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kungaba yinkinga njengoba bechitha amanzi baphume endishini.
Imisindo eyenziwe ngama-savanna ingafana nokutshiyoza kwensiza, ukujula kwekati elifuywayo, ukushintshana kwakho kokubili, noma okuthile okungafani nanoma yini. Izizukulwane zokuqala zakhiqiza imisindo efana ne-serval.
Kodwa-ke, zingakwazi futhi ukuhayiza, futhi ezazo zihlukile kunekati elifuywayo, futhi kunalokho zifana nekhwelo lenyoka enkulu. Umuntu owaqala ukuzwa angangethusa kakhulu.
Kunezici ezintathu ezibalulekile ezithinta uhlamvu: ufuzo, isizukulwane, kanye nomphakathi. Njengoba uhlobo uqobo lusesigabeni sokuqala sokukhula, izilwane ezihlukile zingahluka kakhulu komunye nomunye ngohlamvu.
Kumakati esizukulwane sokuqala (i-Savannah F1 ne-Savannah F2), indlela yokuziphatha kwensizakalo icace bha. Ukugxuma, ukulandela ngomkhondo, ukuzingela kwemvelo kuyizici zesici salezi zizukulwane.
Njengoba izizukulwane ezivundile ze-F5 ne-F6 zisetshenziswa ekuzalaneni, izizukulwane zakamuva zama-savanna sezivele ziyehluka ekuziphatheni kwekati elijwayelekile lasekhaya. Kepha, zonke izizukulwane zibonakala ngomsebenzi ophakeme nelukuluku.
Isici esibaluleke kakhulu ekukhuliseni ama-savanna wukuxhumana nabantu kusenesikhathi. AmaKittens axhumana nabantu kusukela ngesikhathi sokuzalwa, achitha isikhathi nabo nsuku zonke, afunde indlela yokuziphatha impilo yabo yonke.
Kuyiqiniso, kudoti owodwa, amazinyane angahluka ngendalo, amanye ahlangana kalula nabantu, amanye ayesaba futhi awagwebe.
Amakati abonisa ukuziphatha okunamahloni kungenzeka asatshiswe ngabantu angabazi futhi agweme abantu angabazi esikhathini esizayo. Futhi labo kusukela ebuntwaneni babona abantu kahle futhi bathanda ukudlala nabo, abesabi kangako abantu ongabazi, abazesabi izindawo ezintsha futhi bazivumelanisa kangcono nezinguquko.
Ezamazinyane, ukuxhumana kanye nokuhlangana kufanele kube yingxenye yesimiso sansuku zonke ukuze zikhule zibe yisilwane esikhuliswe kahle futhi esizolile. AmaKittens ahlala isikhathi eside ngaphandle kokuxhumana, noma enkampanini kanina, imvamisa awababoni abantu futhi awathembi kangako. Bangaba yizilwane ezifuywayo ezinhle, kepha ngeke bathembe abantu abangabazi futhi bayoba namahloni kakhulu.
Ukondla
Njengoba kungekho bumbano esimilweni nasekubukekeni, ngakho-ke abukho ubunye ekondleni. Ezinye izinkulisa zithi azidingi ukondliwa okukhethekile, kanti ezinye zincoma kuphela ukudla okusezingeni eliphakeme.
Abanye abantu beluleka ukudla okuphelele noma okuyingxenye ngokudla kwemvelo, ngokuqukethwe kwamaprotheni okungenani ama-32%. Abanye bathi lokhu akudingekile, noma kuyalimaza. Uma ucabanga ngentengo yaleli kati, into enhle ukubuza umthengisi ukuthi bondla kanjani futhi banamathela ekwakhiweni okufanayo.
Uyini umehluko phakathi kwesavana nekati le-bengal?
Kukhona umehluko phakathi kwalezi zinhlobo. Okokuqala, ikati laseBengal livela kwikati laseMpumalanga Ekude, kanti i-savanna ivela kwi-African Serval, futhi umehluko ngokubukeka kuyahambelana.
Yize zombili lezi zikhumba zimbozwe ngamabala amahle amnyama, amabala ekati le-Bengal anemibala emithathu, okuthiwa ama-rosettes, kuthi e-savanna abe ne-monochromatic.
Kukhona futhi umehluko endizeni ebonakalayo. Ikati laseBengal linomzimba ohlangene, njenge-wrestler noma umdlali webhola, izindlebe ezincane namehlo amakhulu, ayindilinga. Ngenkathi uSavannah engumdlali webhasikidi omude onezindlebe ezinkulu.
