Imilenze emideeyaziwa kangcono njenge ICape Strider, ukuphela kwelungu lomndeni. Kuze kube manje, ayifakiwe kwiRed Book, obekukhona kuyo kuze kube ngu-2011, futhi empeleni ayikho ngaphansi kokuvikelwa kwabantu, ngoba inani lezilwane likhulu impela.
Ngokuphambene nalokho, phakathi kwabantu bendawo bamazwe amaningi ase-Afrika, ukuzingelwa komgibeli kuthathwa njengento ejwayelekile kakhulu ngenxa yokuhlasela kwayo njalo emasimini ngokucekelwa phansi kwezilimo.
Uboya bezinduku abunalo inani elikhulu, kepha inyama yesilwane ifunwa kakhulu futhi ingenye yezibiliboco eziyintandokazi zabakhileyo kuleli zwekazi.
Izici ze-Strider nendawo yokuhlala
ILongbone ihlala kuphela ezwenikazi i-Afrika, ikakhulukazi ezingxenyeni zalo ezisempumalanga, maphakathi naseningizimu. Izinduku zihlala ikakhulukazi emathafeni angama-semi-desert anesimo sezulu esomile nezimila ezingavamile.
Imilenze yangemuva yegundane mikhulu ngokungenakulinganiswa, kanti imilenze yangaphambili, kunalokho, ibonakala incane ngokungenakuqhathaniswa, okwenza ukubukeka kwesilwane kufane nenhlanganisela ye-steppe jerboa ne-kangaroo.
ICape Strider kungokwesilwane esincelisayo futhi kungokwe-oda lamagundane. Ubude bomzimba wabo busuka ku-330 kuye ku-420 mm, futhi isisindo sabo asivamile ukudlula amakhilogremu amane. Isilwane sinezinwele ezinsundu futhi ezithambile zombala onsundu, oyisihlabathi noma obomvu onomsila omude ojiyile.
Lesi silwane sinekhanda elifushane entanyeni ejiyile enemisipha ngesifinyeto esibuthuntu namehlo amakhulu. Ngenxa yokwakheka kwamehlo abo ukukhanyisa amalambu emoto, ama-striders abonakala kude ebusuku.
Lokhu kuvumela abashayeli ukuba banciphise isivinini kusengaphambili noma benze indlela ephephile ngokugwema igundane elivele ligxumele ngaphandle komgwaqo. Uzipho emilenzeni yangemuva lukhuni kakhulu futhi lwakha uhlobo lwenselo, oluhlangana nezitho ezithuthukisiwe, oluvumela umgibeli ukuba agxume ngamamitha amaningana ubude futhi abaleke ngobuhlakani kulabo abasukelayo.
Izinzipho ezisezindongeni zibukhali futhi ziqinile, futhi ngosizo lwazo isilwane senza umsebenzi omuhle wokumba ngisho nomhlabathi oqinile. Esinye isici esithandekayo se-striders iqiniso lokuthi amazinyo angama-rodent ayishumi nesithupha kwangu-20 awanazimpande futhi akhula kuyo yonke impilo, ngoba agaya ngokushesha okukhulu ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kokudla okukhulu okunemvelaphi yezitshalo.
Izilwane zihlala ikakhulu osebeni lwemifula ezinotshani obuncane nenhlabathi eyomile eyisihlabathi, lapho abagibeli bangena khona emigodini emide kuze kufike emashumini ambalwa wamamitha ngohlelo lokuphuma oluphuthumayo negumbi lokulala elithokomele. Esikhoselweni saso, lesi silwane sichitha ingxenye enkulu yosuku, sibalekela ukushisa okuntengantengayo kwase-Afrika.
Ngasikhathi sinye, indawo yokungena endlini yomgibeli ivame ukuvaleka nohlobo lukakhokho ogoqwe emhlabathini ominyene noma isixha sotshani ukuze inyoka noma esinye isilwane esingangeni emgodini.
Uhlamvu nendlela yokuphila
Izinja ezinemilenze emide zisebenza kakhulu ebumnyameni. Ngokuqala kokuhlwa, igundane liphuma ngokushesha emgodini walo. Wenza lokhu ukuze angabi isisulu sesilo esilinde isisulu emnyango wendlu yokuhlala.
Kodwa-ke, uma kwenzeka ukuthi umgibeli angazizwa esengcupheni, angancipha kancane isikhathi eside emilenzeni emine efuna ukudla, ngaphandle kokuhamba ibanga elide ukusuka emgodini wakhe. Ngaphansi kwezimo ezingezinhle nokuntuleka kokudla eduzane, lesi silwane sikwazi ukuhamba amashumi amakhilomitha amaningi ngobusuku obubodwa.
Izilwane ezinemilenze emide ziyizilwane zomphakathi, futhi imvamisa zakha imisele yazo eduze komunye nomunye. Ngasikhathi sinye, empeleni abakhombisi ukuhlukumeza izihlobo futhi bazwana ngokuthula impela.
Indlu ngayinye ihlala imibhangqwana enezingane ezincane noma i-strider eyodwa. Ngesikhathi sokulala, amagundane azigoqa ebholeni, acashe ngemisila yawo, noma athathe indawo yokuhlala, elula imilenze yawo yangemuva.
Inja enemilenze emide igxila kahle ekhaya, kepha labo abathatha isinqumo sokuba nesilwane esinjalo kufanele bazi ukuthi izolala usuku lonke, ivuke kusihlwa kuphela futhi ikhombise imisebenzi eyahlukahlukene kuze kube sekuseni ngokuhasha nangokugxoba, ngenkathi ivimbela bonke abahlali baleli fulethi ukuthi bangalali. Ngakho-ke isilwane esinjalo silungele kuphela abantu basebusuku.
IStider Strider - lokhu akusilo uhlobo lwamagundane oluhambisana nenkathi ethile. Kuyimoto eguquguqukayo ku-RPG World of Warcraft edumile abasebenzisi abaningi abalandelayo. Ukuze uhambe kahle hhayi emhlabeni kuphela, kepha nangaphezulu kwamanzi, kune-azure umgibeli wamanzi.
Ukudla
Ama-Longlegs adla kakhulu ekudleni kwezitshalo, futhi isisekelo sokudla kwabo amakhambi ahlukahlukene amasha, izimpande ezinoshukela, amaqabunga ezihlahleni ezikhula kancane, ama-bulb kanye nezilimo eziyizigaxa.
Kodwa-ke, kwezinye izimo, amagundane angahlukanisa imenyu yawo ngokudla kwamaprotheni okuvela ezilwaneni, njengezibungu, amabhungane, izinkumbi nezinye izinambuzane.
Futhi, kunezihlavu ezivamile zezilwane emasimini kakolweni, i-oats, ibhali nezinye izitshalo ezilinyiwe. Kumhambisi, amanzi ayisona isidingo esiyisisekelo, ngoba agcwalisa izinqolobane zawo ngobuningi obanele ngqo kusuka ekudleni noma ngokukhotha amazolo avela emaqabungeni ezitshalo.
Ukuzala kanye nesikhathi sokuphila
Abagadli baseKapa bafinyelela ekuvuthweni ngokocansi, bathola isisindo somzimba esifinyelela kumakhilogremu amabili nohhafu. Owesifazane angaletha kusuka kumalitha amabili kuya kwamane ngonyaka. Ukukhulelwa kuthatha cishe izinyanga ezintathu, emva kwalokho kuzalwa izinyane elilodwa (ezimweni ezingavamile kakhulu, ezimbili).
Cishe ngemuva kwamasonto ayisikhombisa, isikhathi se-lactation siyaphela bese imicibisholo emincane ikwazi ukuzimela ngokuphelele. Isikhathi esiphakathi kwamagundane siyiminyaka eyishumi nane, kepha hhayi bonke abantu abakwaziyo ukusinda baze bafike kule minyaka, ngoba abahlukumezi banezitha eziningi phakathi kwezilwane ezidlayo. Abantu futhi bayayithanda inyama yalezi zilwane, ngakho-ke bayazizingela noma bagcwalise izimbobo zabo ngamanzi, babeke izingibe emnyango.
