Hhayi inyamazane noma indlulamithi encane - lena yi-gerenuk! Lesi silwane, cishe asaziwa eYurophu, sinomzimba omkhulu, ikhanda elincane nentamo ende, sifana nendlulamithi encane. Eqinisweni, lolu uhlobo lwezinhlwathi, ezomndeni owodwa njengensephe. AmaGerenuk ahlala eTanzania, amaMasai steppes, iSamburu reserve eKenya naseMpumalanga Afrika.
AmaGerenuk ahlala emahlathini anezinkuni, ogwadule, noma avulekile, kepha kufanele kube nezimila ezenele zemithi edla utshani. Izici ezinhle kakhulu zomzimba zeGerenuk zivumela ukuthi baphile ezimweni ezinzima. Benza amaqhinga amahle okuthola ukudla.
UGerenuk uzophila ngaphandle kokuphuza amanzi
Ukudla kweGerenuch kuqukethe:
- amaqabunga;
- amahlumela ezihlahla ezinameva nezihlahla;
- izimbali;
- izithelo;
- izinso.
Abadingi amanzi. AmaGerenuk athola umswakama wabo ezitshalweni abazidlayo, ngakho-ke baphila impilo yabo ngaphandle kokuphuza ithonsi lamanzi. Leli khono likuvumela ukuthi uphile ezindaweni ezomile zasogwadule.
Izindlala zeGerenuch ezimangalisayo
Njengamanye ama-gazelle amaningi, ama-gerenuk anezindlala zangaphambi kokubeletha phambi kwamehlo awo, akhipha into enenhlaka enephunga elinamandla. Futhi banezindlala zephunga, eziphakathi kwezinselo ezihlukanisiwe nasemadolweni, embozwe izicucu zoboya. Isilwane "sibeka" izimfihlo zamehlo nezitho ezihlahleni nasezimileni, kumaka indawo yabo.
Ukuhambisana nemithetho yendawo kanye nokuhlala "komndeni" phakathi kwamaGerenuks
AmaGerenuk ahlanganiswe ngamaqembu. Owokuqala uhlanganisa abesifazane nenzalo. Kowesibili, abesilisa kuphela. Ama-gerenuk wesilisa ahlala yedwa, ahambisana nendawo ethile. Imihlambi yezinsikazi imboza indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele ayi-1.5 kuya kwayi-3, nayo enamabanga amaningana abesilisa.
Izici zomzimba nokukwazi ukuzisebenzisela ukukhiqiza ukudla
AmaGerenuks akwazi ukusebenzisa umzimba kahle. Zelula izintamo zazo ezinde ukuze zifinyelele ezitshalweni ezifinyelela kumamitha angu-2-2.5 ukuphakama. Ziphinde zidle zimile zimile ngemilenze yazo yangemuva, zisebenzisa izingalo zazo zangaphambili ukwehlisa amagatsha ezihlahla ziye emlonyeni wazo. Lokhu kwehlukanisa kakhulu ama-gerenuks kwezinye izinhlwathi, ezijwayele ukudla emhlabathini.
Ama-Gerenuks awanazo izikhathi zokukhwelana
Izilwane zizala noma ngasiphi isikhathi sonyaka. Abanaso isikhathi sokuqomisana nokuzalanisa njengezinye izinhlobo zombuso wezilwane. Ukungabikho kwesikhathi esinqunyiwe sokukhwelana nokuthandana okulula kwelungu lobulili obuhlukile kuvumela ama-gerenuk ukuthi akhulise inani lawo, abe nenzalo unyaka wonke, ngokushesha okukhulu.
Supermoms gerenuki
Lapho kuzalwa, amawundlu anesisindo esingaba ngu-6.5 kg. Umama:
- ikhotha isiziba emva kokuzalwa futhi adle isinye sesisu;
- inikeza ubisi lokondla kabili noma kathathu ngosuku;
- ihlanza inzalo ngemuva kokudla ngakunye futhi idle imfucuza ukuze isuse noma yiliphi iphunga elizoheha izilwane ezidlayo.
I-gerenuki yesifazane isebenzisa ithoni elula futhi emnene lapho ixhumana nezilwane ezincane, ikhala kancane.
AmaGerenuk asongelwa ngokuqothulwa
Izingozi ezinkulu kubantu be-gerenuch:
- ukuthunjwa kwendawo yokuhlala ngabantu;
- ukuncishiswa kokuphakelwa kokudla;
- ukuzingela ngokungemthetho izilwane ezingaphandle.
Ama-Gerenuk abhalwe njengezilwane ezisengozini yokuqothulwa. Izazi zezilwane zilinganisela ukuthi cishe ama-gerenuk angama-95,000 ahlala emazweni amane ashiwo ngenhla. Ukongiwa kwemvelo okunenjongo nokuvikelwa ezindaweni ezigciniwe akuvumelanga ama-gerenuk ukuba abe uhlobo olusengozini, kepha usongo lukhona.
