Ama-proboscis aphilayo namuhla ayinzalo yesigaba esake saba sikhulu sezilwane ezincelisayo, ezazifaka ama-mammoths nama-maston. Manje sebebizwa ngezindlovu. Lezi zilwane ezinkulu kudala zaziwa ngabantu, futhi babevame ukuzisebenzisela izinhloso zabo. Isibonelo, njengezilwane zempi.
AmaCarthaginians, amaPheresiya asendulo, amaNdiya - bonke laba bantu babazi ukuphatha ngobuciko izindlovu empini. Umuntu kufanele akhumbule umkhankaso odumile waseNdiya ka-Alexander the Great noma owezempi waseHannibal, lapho izindlovu zempi zisebenza njengesikhali esitelekayo.
Zasetshenziselwa nezidingo zasekhaya njengamandla amakhulu wokudonsa namandla okuphakamisa. Phakathi kwamaRoma, ayekhonza ukujabulisa umphakathi. Ukusetshenziswa ngesihluku kakhulu kwezindlovu ukuzizingela ukuze zithole "izindlovu" ezibalulekile. Ngokuvamile lezi kwakuyizimpondo zezilwane.
Ngaso sonke isikhathi, babekwazi ukwenza izinto ezibabazekayo ngabo, ezazibiza kakhulu. Kungaba yizinto zangasese zabesifazane (amakhehla, amabhokisi, amabhokisi empushana, amafreyimu ezibuko, amakhekhe), nezitsha, nefenisha, nobucwebe, nezingxenye zezikhali. Isithombe sendlovu emibhalweni, emdwebeni, kumabhayisikobho sihlala siphawuleka, sikhanya futhi sinikezwe cishe izimfanelo zabantu.
Imvamisa, izindlovu zikhonjiswa njengezilwane ezinokuthula, ezinomusa, ezinobungane, ezibekezelayo, ngisho nezimnene. Kodwa-ke, kufanelekile ukukhuluma ngezindlovu zasendle ezihlala ngokuhlukile emhlambini. Ukuhlangana nazo nganoma yisiphi isidalwa, kufaka phakathi nabantu, akusho okuhle. Lesi yisilwane esibi, esinolaka, esishanela kalula izihlahla nezakhiwo ezisendleleni yaso.
Iyiphi inhlobo yendlovu - kunqunywa yi-morphology kanye nendawo okuhlala kuyo. Izimpawu ezijwayelekile zezindlovu: umboko omude weselula, okuyindebe ephezulu ehlanganiswe nekhala, umzimba onamandla, imilenze efana nogodo, intamo emfushane.
Ikhanda elihlobene nomzimba lithathwa njengelikhulu ngenxa yamathambo angaphambili akhulisiwe. Izindlovu eziningi zinamazinyo - izingqimba eziguquliwe ezikhula ezimpilweni zazo zonke. Emilenzeni kunezinzwani eziyisihlanu ezixhunywe ndawonye, nezinyawo ezicijile eziyisicaba.
Unyawo lendlovu
Kukhona iphakethe lamafutha maphakathi nonyawo, elisebenza njengesihluthulelo sokushaqeka. Lapho indlovu inyathela emlenzeni, iyabhabha, yenyuse indawo yokusekelwa. Izindlebe zezindlovu zinkulu futhi zibanzi. Aminyene phansi, acishe abonakale emaphethelweni.
Ngabo, ulawula izinga lokushisa komzimba, aziphephethe njengomlandeli. Insikazi ithwala izinyane izinyanga ezingama-20-22. Ngokuvamile le yindlalifa eyodwa. Kuyaqabukela kube khona okubili, bese eyodwa ingaphili. Izindlovu ziphila kuze kube yiminyaka engama-65-70. Banesimo esithuthukile senhlalo. Abesifazane abanamathole bahlala ngokwehlukana, abesilisa bahlala ngokwehlukana.
Okuncane ngezindlovu ezise-zoo nasisekisini. Akuzona zonke i-zoo ezikwazi ukugcina indlovu. Izinketho zabo zokunambitheka azinzima, kepha badinga ukuhambisa okuningi. Ngaphandle kwalokho, kungavela izinkinga zokugaya ukudla. Ngakho-ke, zondliwa izikhathi ezingama-5-6 ngosuku ukuze zidle kaningi futhi kancane kancane.
Indlovu esikhulile idla ukudla okungu-250 kg ngosuku futhi iphuza amalitha ayi-100-250 amanzi. Lawa ngamagatsha ezihlahla aqoqwe ngemishanelo, utshani, i-bran, imifino, kanti ehlobo kukhona namakhabe. Izindlovu kulula ukuziqeqesha; zinobuciko, ziyalalela futhi zihlakaniphile. Abantu abaningi bakhumbula isekisi elidumile likaNatalia Durova.
Wayehambela amadolobha ahlukene, futhi lapho abantu babehamba ngokuyinhloko beyobheka izindlovu. Baqhamuke ngemuva kwekhefu egumbini lesibili, kepha ngaphambi kokuba bahambe, ubivele uzizwele ngemuva kwekhethini. Umuzwa ongachazeki wokusondelana nento enkulu futhi enamandla. Njengaseceleni kolwandle oluphefumulayo. Lezo zindlovu kumele zibe ngesinye sezimo ezinamandla kakhulu empilweni yezingane eziningi.
Igama "indlovu" lafika kithi lisuka olimini oludala lweSlavonic, futhi lapho lavela kubantu baseTurkic. Emhlabeni jikelele ibizwa ngokuthi "indlovu". Konke manje izinhlobo zezindlovu zingezinhlobo ezimbili kuphela - indlovu yase-Asia nendlovu yase-Afrika. Isizukulwane ngasinye sihlanganisa izinhlobo eziningana.
Izindlovu zase-Afrika
Elephas africanus. Kusuka egameni kuyacaca ukuthi lolu hlobo lwezindlovu luhlala e-Afrika. Izindlovu zase-Afrika zinkulu kunezinye zase-Asia, zinezindlebe ezinkulu namazinyo amakhulu. Kwakungabamele abavela e-Afrika ababebhalwe ohlwini lweGuinness Book of Records ngosayizi womzimba nosayizi wamazinyo.
Ezwenikazi elishisayo, imvelo iklonyelise abesilisa nabesifazane ngala mazinyo amakhulu. Izinhlobo zezindlovu zase-Afrika okwamanje kunezinhlobo ezimbili: izindlovu ze-savannah nezindlovu zasehlathini.
Izindlovu zase-Afrika
Kuliqiniso, kukhona iziphakamiso zokuthi kusenomuntu ohlukile eMpumalanga Afrika, kepha lokhu akukakaqinisekiswa. Manje endle kunezindlovu zase-Afrika eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-500-600, zazo cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zingama-savanna.
Izindlovu zakwaBush
Izindlovu zase-savannah zase-Afrika zithathwa njengezilwane ezincelisayo ezinkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Zinomzimba omkhulu osindayo, intamo emfushane enekhanda elikhulu, imilenze enamandla, izindlebe ezinkulu namazinyo, umboko oguquguqukayo futhi oqinile.
Imvamisa zinesisindo esisuka ku-5 000 kuya ku-7,000 kg, amantombazane elula futhi abafana besinda. Ubude bufinyelela ku-7.5 m, futhi ukuphakama kungu-3.8 m. Isifanekiso esivelele kunazo zonke esaziwa kuze kube namuhla kwakuyindlovu evela e-Angola. Wayenesisindo esingu-12,200 kg.
Izimpondo zazo ziqonde futhi zilungiswe ngasekugcineni. Ibamba ngalinye linamamitha amabili ubude futhi linesisindo esifinyelela kuma-60 kg. Kunecala elaziwayo lapho amazinyo anesisindo ayengu-148 kg lilinye enobude obungu-4.1 m. Umlando uqopha iqiniso lokuthi ngo-1898 kwabulawa indlovu enezimpondo ezinesisindo esingama-225 kg eCape Kilimanjaro.
Kukho konke ukuphila kwalesi silwane, ama-molars aguquka kathathu, eneminyaka engu-15, bese kuba ngu-30, futhi ekugcineni abe neminyaka engama-40-45. Amazinyo amasha akhula ngemuva kwamadala. Ezokugcina ziyasulwa zineminyaka engama-65 noma engama-70. Ngemuva kwalokho, indlovu ibhekwa njengendala, ayikwazi ukondla ngokuphelele futhi ibulawe ukukhathala.
Izindlebe zakhe zifinyelela kumitha elilodwa nohhafu ukusuka phansi kuya onqenqemeni. Indlebe ngayinye inephethini ngayinye yemithambo, njengezigxivizo zeminwe zomuntu. Isikhumba esisemzimbeni sigoqene, size sifike ku-4 cm, sibe mpunga ngokumnyama, konke kube nemibimbi.
Indlovu kaBush
Kusukela esemncane, unezinwele ezimnyama ezingandile, bese iyawa, kusele intshakaza emnyama kuphela ekugcineni komsila, ekhula ibe yi-1.3 m. Lezi zindlovu zihlala engxenyeni engezansi yezwekazi, eningizimu yeSahara. Bake bahlala enyakatho, kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi bafa kancane kancane bathutha.
Izindlovu zasehlathini
Ama-giants asehlathini ayevame ukubhekwa njengengxenye ye-savannah, kepha ngenxa yocwaningo lwe-DNA, ahlungwa aba uhlobo oluhlukile. Kuliqiniso, ziyakwazi ukuhlangana futhi zize zikhiqize inzalo eyi-hybrid.
Cishe, zahlukana njengezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene ngaphezu kwezigidi ezi-2,5 ezedlule. Ukuhlaziywa kuye kwabonisa ukuthi izindlovu zanamuhla zehlathi ziyinzalo yolunye lwezinhlobo ezingasekho, indlovu emile yasehlathini.
Abamele amahlathi baphansi kancane ngosayizi kubafowabo abayizicaba, bakhula bafike kumamitha ayi-2.4. Ngaphezu kwalokho, balondoloze izinwele zomzimba, kunalokho ziwugqinsi, zinombala onsundu. Futhi izindlebe zabo zaziyindilinga. Bahlala emahlathini ase-Afrika anomswakama ezindaweni ezishisayo.
Bona, njengezinye izindlovu, abanamehlo amahle kakhulu. Kepha ukuzwa kuhle. Izindlebe ezivelele zikhokha! Imidondoshiya ixhumana ngomsindo wemisipha, ofana nomsindo wepayipi, lapho kunezinto ze-infrasonic.
Ngenxa yalokhu, izihlobo ziyezwana ebangeni elifinyelela ku-10 km. Indlovu ehlala ehlathini isikhule izigaxa ezinomusa kakhulu kunesihlahla, ngoba kufanele igudle phakathi kwezihlahla, futhi ama-incisors akufanele amphazamise kakhulu.
Indlovu yehlathi
Izinhlobo zamahlathi zithanda nokugeza ngodaka njengezinye izindlovu. Ngaphandle kwalokho, kungaba nzima kubo ukususa ama-parasites esikhunjeni. Bathanda kakhulu amanzi, ngakho-ke abahambeli kude nemizimba yamanzi ibanga elide. Yize ngombono wabo kusondele - kufika kuma-50 km. Bahamba amabanga amade kakhulu namade. Ukukhulelwa kuthatha unyaka nezinyanga eziyishumi.
Ngokuvamile, kuzalwa izinyane elilodwa, elilandelayo kuze kube yiminyaka engu-4 lilandela unina. Izindlovu zinomthetho omangalisayo futhi othinta inhliziyo: ngaphezu kukanina, izindlovu ezisakhula zibuka umntwana, ngaleyo ndlela ofunda esikoleni sokuphila. Izindlovu zasehlathini zibaluleke kakhulu esimisweni semvelo esishisayo. Izinhlamvu zezitshalo ezahlukahlukene ziyathuthwa eboyeni bazo emabangeni amakhulu.
Izindlovu zemifino
Abaphenyi bachaze kaninginingi izilwane ezincane ze-proboscis eziye zabonwa emahlathini aseNtshonalanga Afrika. Bafinyelela kubude obungu-2.0 m, behlukile ezindlebeni ezazincane ngendlovu yase-Afrika, futhi zazimbozwe kakhulu ngoboya. Kodwa okwamanje akukwazeki ukumemezela njengohlobo oluhlukile. Ucwaningo oluningi ludinga ukwenziwa ukuzehlukanisa nezindlovu zasehlathini.
Ngokuvamile, izindlovu ezincane yigama eliqoqiwe lezinsalela eziningi ze-oda le-proboscis. Njengomphumela wezinguquko ezithile, bakhule baba ngosayizi omncane kunama-congener abo. Isizathu esivame kakhulu salokhu kwaba ukuhlukaniswa kwendawo (insular dwarfism).
EYurophu, izinsalela zabo zitholakale eMedithera eziqhingini zaseCyprus, eKrethe, eSardinia, eMalta nakwabanye. E-Asia, le mivubukulo yatholakala eziqhingini zase-Lesser Sunda Archipelago. EChannel Islands kwake kwahlala umammoth omncanyana, inzalo eqondile yemammoth Columbus.
Izindlovu zemifino
Njengamanje, lo mkhuba uqoshwa ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela ezindlovu zase-Afrika naseNdiya. Kumbuzo - zingaki izinhlobo zezindlovu ukukhula okuncane manje sekukhona, kunembile ukuphendula leyo, futhi lena yindlovu yase-Asia evela eBorneo.
Izindlovu zase-Asia
Elephas asiaticus. Izindlovu zase-Asia ziphansi ngosayizi kubafowabo base-Afrika, kepha zinokuthula okuningi. Okwamanje, izindlovu zaseNdiya, eSumatran, eCeylon naseBornean zingathathwa njengezinsizakalo zase-Asia. Yize, bekhuluma ngabo, abanye bababiza - izinhlobo zezindlovu zaseNdiya.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ngaphambi kwazo zonke izindlovu ezihlala eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, zazibizwa ngokuthi ngamaNdiya, ngoba zazizona ezinkulu kunazo zonke eNdiya. Futhi manje imiqondo yendlovu yaseNdiya neyase-Asia isadidekile kaningi. Phambilini, kwahlukaniswa ezinye izinhlobo eziningi - iSyria, Chinese, Persian, Javanese, Mesopotamiya, kepha zanyamalala kancane kancane.
Zonke izindlovu zase-Asia zithanda ukucasha phakathi kwezihlahla. Bakhetha amahlathi ahlabayo anamahlathi oqalo. Kubo, ukushisa kubi kakhulu kunokubanda, ngokungafani nezihlobo zase-Afrika ezishisayo.
Izindlovu zase-Asia
Ngesikhathi sokushisa kwemini, bacasha emthunzini, bese bema lapho, beqhweba izindlebe zabo ukuze zipholile. Abathanda kakhulu ukwelashwa ngodaka namanzi. Ukubhukuda emanzini, bangawela othulini ngokushesha. Lokhu kubasindisa ezinambuzaneni nasekushiseni.
Izindlovu zaseNdiya
Azihlali eNdiya kuphela, kwesinye isikhathi zitholakala eChina, Thailand, Cambodia nasenhlonhlweni yaseMalay. Izici eziyinhloko isisindo nosayizi wamazinyo abo kujwayelekile kubamele base-Asia. Zinesisindo esingu-5,400 kg ngobude obungu-2.5 kuya ku-3.5 m.Amazinyo afinyelela ku-1.6 m ubude kanti ngasinye sinesisindo esingu-20-25 kg.
Naphezu kobukhulu bawo obuncane, ama-proboscis aseNdiya abukeka enamandla kakhulu kunezihlobo zase-Afrika ngenxa yobukhulu bawo. Imilenze imifushane futhi iyajiya. Ikhanda nalo likhudlwana uma liqhathaniswa nosayizi womzimba. Izindlebe zincane. Akubona bonke abesilisa abanamazinyo, nabesifazane abanawo nhlobo.
Ngemuva komphetho webunzi, ngenhla kancane kwenqubo ye-zygomatic, kukhona ukuvuleka okuyindlala, lapho kwesinye isikhathi kukhishwa uketshezi olunephunga elibi. Upenda izihlathi zendlovu umbala omnyama. I-outsole inolwelwesi olunentwasahlobo olufanayo njengazo zonke izindlovu. Umbala wakhe wesikhumba umpunga futhi ulula ukudlula lowo wesidlakela sase-Afrika.
Izindlovu zikhula zize zifike eminyakeni engama-25 ubudala, zikhule ngokugcwele zingama-35. Ziqala ukuzala zineminyaka eyi-16, ngemuva kweminyaka engu-2,5, izinyane elilodwa. Ukuzala akuyona inkathi ethile, kungenzeka nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Abesilisa abakhethiwe kuphela abavunyelwe enkambweni yokuhlangana. Lezi zimpi zivivinyo elinzima impela, hhayi zonke ezizidlulisayo, kwesinye isikhathi zingaholela ekufeni kwesilwane.
AmaHindu ahlukanisa izinhlobo ezi-3 zezindlovu: i-kumiria, i-dvzala ne-mierga. Indlovu yohlobo lokuqala ibhalwe kakhulu, umuntu angasho kahle, ngesifuba esinamandla, umzimba onamandla nekhanda eliqondile eliqondile. Unesikhumba esinsundu, esimpunga ngokukhanyayo, esishwabene nokubuka okuhlakaniphile, okukhanyayo. Lesi yisidalwa esithembeke kakhulu futhi esithembekile.
Isibonelo esigqamile sazo zonke izindlovu zaseNdiya kanye nomfanekiso wakudala wendlovu kwezobuciko. Okuphikisayo yi-mierga, lesi sibonelo sincane, futhi asakhiwe kahle, sinemilenze emide, ikhanda elincane, amehlo amancane, isifuba esincane kanye nesiqu esinciphayo.
Indlovu yaseNdiya
Unesikhumba esincanyana, esonakele kalula, ngakho uyesabeka, akathembekile, usetshenziswa njengesilo esithwalayo. Phakathi nendawo kuhlala amahholo amabili. Lesi yisibonelo esikhulu, esivame kakhulu.
Indlovu yaseCeylon
Kutholakala esiqhingini saseCeylon (eSri Lanka). Ifinyelela ukuphakama okungu-3.5 m, isisindo sayo singafika ku-5500 kg. Unekhanda elikhulu kakhulu maqondana nemingcele yomzimba kusuka kuyo yonke i-diaspar yase-Asia. Kunezindawo ezigqamile zombala ebunzini, ezindlebeni nasemsileni.
Bangu-7% kuphela abesilisa abanikezwe amabamba; abesifazane abanazo lezi zinhlamvu ezikhulile nhlobo. Isampula yaseCeylon inombala wesikhumba omnyama kancane kunezinye izinhlobo zase-Asiatic. Okunye kufana nabafowabo basezwenland. Ubukhulu bayo bufinyelela ku-3.5 m, isisindo - kuze kufike kumathani we-5.5. Abesifazane bancane kunabesilisa.
ICeylon inezindlovu eziphakeme kunazo zonke ezivela e-Asia, ngakho-ke izindlovu nabantu zihlala zingqubuzana njalo. Uma phambilini lezi zilwane zasihlala sonke isiqhingi, manje uhla lwazo selusakazekile, izingcezu ezincane zihlala ezingxenyeni ezihlukene zesiqhingi.
Izindlovu zaseCeylon
Ngesikhathi sokubusa kwaseBrithani, eziningi zalezi zidalwa ezinhle zabulawa amasosha amaNgisi ngenxa yendebe. Manje isibalo sabantu sesiseduze nokuqothulwa. Ngo-1986, isampula yaseCeylon yafakwa ohlwini lweRed Book ngenxa yokwehla okukhulu kwamanani.
Indlovu yaseSumatran
Lathola igama lalo ngenxa yokuthi lihlala esiqhingini saseSumatra kuphela. Ukubukeka kwendlovu eSumatra yehluke kakhulu ezinhlotsheni eziyinhloko - indlovu yaseNdiya. Kuphela, mhlawumbe, mncane kancane, ngenxa yalokhu wabizwa ngegama lokuntela "indlovu ekhukhwini".
Yize kukude kakhulu nosayizi wephakethe lapha. Le "crumb" ivame ukuba nesisindo esingaphansi kwamathani ayi-5, kuze kufike kubude obuyi-3 m. Umbala wesikhumba mpunga okhanyayo. Isengozini ngenxa yengxabano ekhulayo nabantu.
Indlovu yaseSumatran
Ngisho eminyakeni engama-25 edlule, lezi zilwane zazihlala ezifundazweni eziyisishiyagalombili zeSumatra, kepha manje sezinyamalale ngokuphelele kwezinye izifunda zalesi siqhingi. Okwamanje, kunesibikezelo esidumazayo ngokuqothulwa ngokuphelele kwalezi zinhlobo eminyakeni engama-30 ezayo.
Impilo yesiqhingi ikhawula insimu, yingakho kungqubuzana okungenakugwemeka. Izindlovu zaseSumatran manje sezivikelwe uhulumeni wase-Indonesia. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuhlelwe ukunciphisa ukugawulwa kwamahlathi eSumatra, okufanele kuthinte kangcono isimo sokutakulwa kwalezi zilwane.
Indlovu encane yaseBorneo
Njengamanje, lesi sibonelo sibhekwa njengendlovu encane kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Ifinyelela kubude obungu-2 kuye ku-2.3 m futhi inesisindo esingamathani ayi-2-3. Ngokwako, lokhu kuningi, kepha uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izihlobo zase-Asia, noma izindlovu zase-Afrika, kuncane impela. Indlovu yaseBornean ihlala esiqhingini saseBorneo, endaweni yaseMalaysian, futhi ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela ibonakala engxenyeni yesiqhingi sase-Indonesia.
Indawo enjalo ekhethiwe ichazwa ngokuthanda ukunambitheka. Ngaphezu kokudla okwejwayelekile okuluhlaza - amakhambi, amaqabunga esundu, ubhanana, amantongomane, amagxolo ezihlahla, imbewu, okungukuthi, konke okuthandwa ezinye izindlovu, lezi gourmets zidinga usawoti. Bayithola osebeni lwemifula ngendlela yokukhotha usawoti noma amaminerali.
Ngaphezu kosayizi wale "ngane" kukhona nokwehluka okuvela ezihlotsheni ezinkulu. Lo ngumsila omude futhi ojiyile ongalingani, izindlebe ezinkulu zamapharamitha awo, amabamba aqondile nomhlane ocijile kancane, ngenxa yesakhiwo esikhethekile somgogodla.
Indlovu yaseBorneo - encane
Lezi izinhlobo zezindlovu esithombeni zibukeka zithinta nje, zinomlomo omuhle kangangoba ngeke zisadidaniswa nezinye izinhlobo zezilwane. Imvelaphi yalezi zindlovu iyadida kancane. Kukhona inguqulo yokuthi ngesikhathi se-Ice Age bashiya leli zwekazi behamba ngesiqeshana esincane, esabe sesinyamalala.
Futhi ngenxa yezinguquko zofuzo, kuvele uhlobo oluhlukile. Kunombono wesibili - lezi zindlovu zaqhamuka ezindlovu zaseJavanese futhi zalethwa njengesipho kuSultan Sulu ezivela kumbusi weJava eminyakeni engama-300 edlule.
Kepha bangakha kanjani abantu abahlukile ngalesi sikhathi esifushane? Njengamanje, lolu hlobo lubhekwa njengengcupheni yokuqothulwa ngenxa yokuqothulwa kwamahlathi okukhulu kanye nomsebenzi wezolimo wokunisela osendleleni yokufuduka kwawo. Ngakho-ke, manje bangaphansi kokuvikelwa nguhulumeni.
Umehluko phakathi kwezindlovu zaseNdiya nezase-Afrika
Okuncane ngamakhono nezimfanelo ezithokozisayo zezindlovu
- Imvamisa bahlushwa iminyundu. Ukuze izisuse, indlovu ithatha induku ngomboko wayo bese iqala ukunwaya isikhumba sayo. Uma engakwazi ukubhekana nesimo, umngani wakhe uyamsiza, futhi nangenduku. Ndawonye balahla izimuncagazi.
- Ama-albino atholakala phakathi kwezindlovu. Zibizwa ngeNdlovu emhlophe, yize zingemhlophe qwa ngombala, kepha kunalokho zinamabala amaningi akhanyayo esikhumbeni sazo. Zingezona ikakhulukazi zohlobo lwe-Asia. ESiam, bebelokhu bebhekwa njengezinto zokukhulekelwa, unkulunkulu. Ngisho nenkosi yayingavunyelwe ukuyigibela. Ukudla kwendlovu enjalo kwakudliwa ngezitsha zegolide nezesiliva.
- Matriarchy ubusa emhlambini wezindlovu. Owesifazane onolwazi kakhulu uyabusa. Izindlovu zishiya umhlambi zineminyaka eyi-12. Abesifazane nentsha bahlala.
- Izindlovu zifunda imiyalo engafika kuma-60, zinobuchopho obukhulu kakhulu phakathi kwezilwane zomhlaba. Banamakhono ahlukahlukene nokuziphatha. Bangaba lusizi, bakhathazeke, basize, bored, bajabule, benze umculo futhi badwebe.
- Abantu nezindlovu kuphela abanesiko lokungcwaba. Lapho isihlobo singasabonisi ezinye izimpawu zokuphila, ezinye izindlovu zimba umgodi omncane, zimboze ngamagatsha nodaka phakathi bese “zidabukisa” eceleni kwaso izinsuku ezimbalwa. Kuyamangalisa ukuthi kunezikhathi lapho babenza okufanayo ngabantu abafile.
- Izindlovu zingakwesobunxele nangakwesokudla. Ngokuya ngalokhu, eyodwa yamazinyo ithuthukiswa kangcono.
- Indlovu edume kakhulu emhlabeni, iJumbo, yatholakala e-Afrika ngaseLake Chad. Ngo-1865 wayiswa eNgilandi Botanical Garden, wabe esethengiselwa eMelika. Iminyaka emithathu, wahamba lonke elaseNyakatho Melika, waze washona engozini yesitimela esifundazweni sase-Ontario.
