IBull Gaur - isidlakela sehlathi esiphilayo
IGaur - ummeleli omkhulu wezinkomo we-artiodactyl, odabuka eNdiya. Isilwane esiyivelakancane sesikhathi sethu. Kusukela ezikhathini zomlando, ihlale iyinkunzi phakathi kwezinkunzi zasendle zangempela. Akulungile ukukhumbula ngokungavamile lo mhlali oyingqayizivele womhlaba.
Incazelo kanye nezici ze-gaura
UGaura uma kuqhathaniswa nosayizi wenyathi, isidlakela semvelo esidume kakhulu. Kepha ngayinye ingeyokuqala esigabeni sayo: inyathi ihamba phambili ngesisindo, ne-gaur ngosayizi.
Inkunzi enamandla ifinyelela ku-3-3.2 m ubude, isisindo sabamele abakhulu sifinyelela kumathani ayi-1.5. Izimpondo ezifika ku-90 cm ubude zigobile phezulu ngesimo secresres. Phakathi kwezimpondo kunesigaxa esiphongweni kanye noqweqwe lwenwele olugobile.
Ukuphakama kwenkunzi emaphakathi kungamamitha amabili. Ukhakhayi olufinyelela kuma-70 cm ubude ngobukhulu phakathi kwezihlobo zalo. Abesifazane bangaphansi kwekota ngesayizi nangesisindo kwabesilisa.
Amandla amakhulu nobuhle bobukhulu buyimvelo i-gauru... Intamo, amahlombe nemilenze eqinile kuyasubatha. Ibunzi elibanzi ekhanda elikhulu elinezindlebe ezinkulu. Ingemuva lomzimba lincane kakhulu kunangaphambili.
Umzimba uvikelwe ngezinwele ezimfishane ezimnyama ezimnyama ezinombala omnyama noma obomvu. Abantu abadala banombala omnyama ngokuqhathaniswa nabancane. Ezindaweni ezomile gauras ube nomthunzi obomvu koboya.
Inani lezinkabi zasendle lisengozini ngenxa yezifo eziwumshayabhuqe nokuzingela ngokungemthetho. I-India inenani elikhulu kakhulu lezilwane; kwenye indawo isimo se gauras okubucayi.
Izitha zemvelo zemidondoshiya zingaba izingwenya namahlosi kuphela. Ukuhlaselwa kuyenzeka inqobo nje uma inkunzi ingeqi osayizi obumaphakathi noma isencane.
Naphezu kobukhulu bayo, i-gaur yenziwe umuntu wasekhaya futhi ibizwa ngokuthi yi-gayal noma i-mitan. Abantu abagcinelwa umsebenzi nanjengomthombo wenyama. Ama-gaurs asekhaya incane ngosayizi, uzolile ngesimilo. Abahlali bendawo bawela amaGuyal ngezinkomo.
Indlela yokuphila yaseGaura nendawo yokuhlala
Indawo yokusabalalisa ye-gaura eCentral, Southeast Asia. Iningi lalezi zinkunzi zihlala eNdiya, amashumi ezinkulungwane zamakhanda. Amakhulu abantu atholakala eThailand, eCambodia, eVietnam, eLaos, naseNepal.
Inkunzi yaseNdiya gaur ithanda amahlathi ahlaselayo noma ahlala eluhlaza enamachibi. Kwesinye isikhathi kuvela emadlelweni avulekile lapho kuthungathwa ukudla, kepha, ngokuvamile, kugwema ukuphuma ezindaweni ezivulekile. Emahlathini, indawo emincane imfanelekile, ngaphandle kwamahlathi kanye nezibhebhezela zomoya eziminyene. Kukhuphuka izindawo ezinamagquma nezintaba, kuze kufike ku-2800 m.
Umsebenzi wemvelo uzibonakalisa emini, lapho imihlambi yamakhanda ayi-10-12 iklaba phakathi kohlaza. Izilwane zigcinwa ngamaqembu abesilisa abayi-1-2, abesifazane aba-5-6 abanamathole kanye nama-gobies amancane.
Uma kunezindawo zokuhlala eziseduze, izinkunzi zaseGaura ziguqula indlela yazo yokuphila ziye kwasebusuku, kuphela uma kunesidingo, zishiya izindawo zazo zokuhlala, zikhombisa ukuqaphela nokubona kusengaphambili.
Umhlambi uphethwe, njengomthetho, ngowesifazane onolwazi kakhulu. Uma umhlambi uhamba, yena, njengomholi, uphambili noma uvala ukuhlehla. Lapho kukhonjiswa ngosongo ngesimo sokuthimula okukhulu, amalungu omhlambi ayama afrize.
Ngemuva kokuthola ubungozi, izilwane zihlala empini. Yize ama-gaura ebukeka emangalisa, awahlaseli kuqala. Maqondana nezinye izilwane, izinkunzi zinokuthula okukhulu, azingeni ezingxabanweni, ziyekela phansi ehlathini, zihambe ngokumangazayo zithule.
Uma ingozi ingenakugwenywa, zihlasela ngokushaya okukhethekile ohlangothini ukuze isitha sishaye uphondo noma siphonswe sifile ngenxa yokushaywa ibanga elide. Kuma-gaura amadala, uphondo olulodwa luvame ukuguga kakhulu kunolunye ngenxa yalokhu kuvikela.
Inani lamakhanda emihlambini emikhulu lingafinyelela emashumini amane (4-5) ngokuhlanganisa amaqembu emindeni eminingana. Imihlambi emincane yamaduna amancane ayivamile. Abantu abadala baphila njenge-hermits.
Abantu basekhaya banesimo esithobekile nesizolile, abathandwa kakhulu ngaso. Isiphetho sama-gauras asendle sincike kumuntu oletha izinsongo eziningi ezilwaneni: ukunciphisa iziza, ukutheleleka okuvela emfuyweni, isifiso senzuzo ngokuqothulwa kwabantu abakhulu. Ngisho ukufakwa eNcwadini Ebomvu akukakuvimbeli ukunyamalala kancane kancane kohlobo olungavamile lwezilwane.
Ukudla kukaGaura
Kuyamangaza ukuthi inkunzi enkulu eyi-gaur yinkomo edla imifino. Amandla ayo asekelwe ekudleni okulula kwamakhambi, amaqabunga ezitshalo, amahlumela amancane, izithombo zoqalo nemifino yesihlahla.
Njengomthetho, izilwane ziya kokondla ekuseni kakhulu nakusihlwa, ngaphambi kokushona kwelanga. Bathanda amanzi kakhulu, baphuza kakhulu futhi bavame ukubhukuda.
Lapho kushisa, zicasha emthunzini wezihlahla ezinkulu futhi zibheke ukudla okugcwele umswakama. Izinkunzi zasekhaya zaseGaura zidla ngokukhululeka. Uma udinga ukuheha isilwane, kuboshelwa ucezu lukasawoti wedwala.
Ukuzaliswa kanye nempilo ye-gaura
Izikhathi zokuthamba zikaGauras azinayo imingcele ecacile yesizini. Isikhathi esivame kakhulu sivela ekuqaleni kukaNovemba kuya ngasekupheleni kuka-Ephreli. Ngalesi sikhathi, abesilisa abangashadile bahlangana nemihlambi. Kuzwakala imisindo emikhulu yokubiza, efana nokuduma kwezinyamazane, futhi ingazwakala ebangeni elifinyelela ku-1-2 km.
Ezimpini zama-gauras, ukubonakaliswa kwamandla kwenzeka lapho izinkunzi zijikela eceleni, zikhombisa isithombe esikhulu, futhi zihogela ngokusongela. Ikhanda litshekelwe phansi futhi uphondo olulodwa luqondiswe ngasesitha. Ngokuyinhloko, impi iphela ngokuboniswa okunjalo. Ukulwa akuvamile ukwenzeka, izilwane azilimazi izimbangi.
Ukukhulelwa kwabesifazane kuthatha izinyanga eziyi-9. Umama okhulelwe uyongena ezihlahleni bese ethatha umhlalaphansi. Kuzalwa inkonyane elilodwa, azalwa kakhulu amawele. Ukubuyela emhlambini kwenzeka ngenzalo.
Ekuqaleni, insikazi iyaqikelela futhi inolaka kakhulu ekuvikeleni inkonyane. Ukuncelisa ubisi kuthatha izinyanga eziyi-7 kuye kwezingu-12. Izingane zihlala zingaphansi kokunakekelwa ngumama wazo.
Esithombeni kukhona i-gaura yengane
Ukuvuthwa ngokocansi kwenzeka ngeminyaka emi-2-3. Izinkunzi ezincane zivame ukuhlangana okwesikhashana zibe umhlambi owodwa, bese zizakhela ezazo. Isikhathi sokuphila se-gaura cishe siyiminyaka engama-30.
Ungabona ama-gaurs kuma-zoo amakhulu kanye naseziqiwini ezinkulu. Ukulondolozwa kwezinhlobo zezilwane zasendle, kunikezwe usongo lokuqothulwa kwemidondoshiya, kusalokhu kungumsebenzi obaluleke kakhulu wezazi zezilwane.
