"Umkhumbi" ehlane nomsizi endlini
Dromedary Isilwane esihle futhi esihle. Isimo sayo nendawo esihlala kuyo kuyehluka kuye ngokuthi ihlala endle yini noma isondele kakhulu kubantu.
Umzimba wakhe ubekezelela kalula isimo sezulu esishisayo nokuntuleka kwamanzi, ngoba idrama noma igama elijwayeleke kakhulu lalesi silwane, ikamela elilodwa elithungisiwe, ivumelaniswe ngokuphelele nalezi zici zezulu zendawo. Lapho isifuyiwe, ingumngane othembekile ezimpilweni zabantu ogwadule.
Ikamela elishaywayo iyimoto engenakuguqulwa ogwadule, esiza abantu ukuba bahambe amabanga amade esihlabathini nasesimo sezulu esingenakubekezeleleka.
Uboya bekamela sekuyisikhathi eside buyinto ebalulekile yokwenza izinto zasendlini zabantu abaningi. Ubisi lwekamela lunonile futhi lunempilo kune, ngokwesibonelo, ubisi lwenkomo. Kepha akuwona wonke umuntu ojwayelene nezilwane zasendle zayo nendlela yokuphila endaweni yemvelo.
Izici nendawo okuhlala kuyo i-dromedary
Kukholakala ukuthi izingwadule zeNhlonhlo Yase-Arabia kwakuyindawo okwazalelwa kuyo amakamela anomuntu oyedwa. Zisasetshenziswa lapho njengesilwane esikhulu sasepulazini. Amakamela nawo ahlala ezindaweni ezomile nezishisayo e-Afrika naseNdiya.
Kamuva, balethwa e-Australia futhi bahlala kahle ezingwadule zalo ezomile. Amanye amakamela aqothuka, kepha iningi lawo likwazile ukujwayela izindawo ezintsha nezimo zezulu zesimo sezulu esisha.
Indawo yasendle yekamela yehlukile kuleyo yedomalia lasekhaya. Akumangazi ukuthi umzimba wekamela uyakwazi ukuzivumelanisa kahle nezimo ezishisayo.
Kepha yilokhu kulungiswa okumenza abe sengozini kwezinye izimo zezulu, ngokwesibonelo, endaweni enamadwala noma kunoma iyiphi indawo, ngeke akwazi ukunyakaza ngamandla, futhi ngenxa yesakhiwo esithile semilenze nezinselo zakhe.
Njengamanje, akusekho bantu basendle abasele. Iningi lama-dromedaries futhi lihlwanyela usuku, e-Afrika. Cishe ama-75% amakamela afuywayo agxile lapho. Basengabasizi abathembekile nabangane bomuntu.
Umlingiswa nendlela yokuphila yedrama
Ngenxa yesakhiwo esikhethekile somzimba wakhe, ubukhona besikhumba esisodwa emhlane wakhe, uzihlinzeka ngomswakama futhi avikele ekushiseni nasekushiseni ngokweqile. Kepha akuwona amanzi agcinwa ku-hump, njengoba kukholwa kakhulu, kepha amafutha, nguyena, futhi acutshungulwa ngumzimba wedrama ukuze abe umswakama lapho kunesidingo sawo.
Futhi akuzona zonke izici zokwakheka komzimba omangalisayo, ngokwesibonelo, isikhumba esijiyile esidebeni, esivumela idrama ukuba lidle ameva angazifanele ezinye izilwane.
Futhi umzimba umbozwe ngoboya, obufinyelela ku-7 cm, buvama kancane futhi bufushane kakhulu kunekamela laseBactrian, umfowabo onamahloni amabili wedrama. Imboza wonke umzimba ngekhava engafani, futhi yehluka kakhulu ngobude ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene.
Uboya be-dromedary buyize ngaphakathi, lokhu kukhulisa ukuqhutshwa kokushisa kwekhava lekamela. Unwele ngalunye lwe-dromedary luzungezwe ezinye izinwele eziningana ezivela engubeni, zibamba umoya omningi futhi zilondoloze ekushiseni ngokweqile. Amakhala avalwe ngokuqinile, avuleka kuphela ngesikhathi sokuphefumula, nawo asindisa ekushiseni ngokweqile.
Isakhiwo esiyingqayizivele somzimba naso sisekuthini sinezitho zomzimba, ziyasivikela lapho silele esihlabathini esishiswa yilanga. Imilenze yekamela ijwayele ukuhamba esihlabathini, kepha hhayi ematsheni noma ezindaweni ezishelelayo.
Kepha njengoba sazi, awekho amatshe ogwadule, ngakho-ke isilwane sinethezekile esihlabathini, futhi lokhu kuyinzuzo enkulu futhi enhle kakhulu yempilo ogwadule, nayo esetshenziswa ngabantu.
Endle, amakamela akha umhlambi we-10 kuye ku-20, kwesinye isikhathi kube ngabantu abayi-30. Umhlambi uneduna eliyinhloko, ngubani ongumholi. Uma ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kuqhamuka enye iduna, bese iyahamba yakhe umhlambi wayo.
Ukudla
Impilo yasogwadule ingabonakala ingabekezeleleki, ngoba zimbalwa kakhulu izitshalo ezidliwayo, izithelo noma amakhambi kule ndawo yesimo sezulu, kodwa hhayi lesi silwane. Uyakwazi ukuzitholela ukudla.
Amakamela anendlela yokuphila yokuzulazula, ahlala ehamba ezindaweni ngezindawo. Imvamisa bahlala ezindaweni ezinotshani obuncane, obuncane futhi obunolaka. Amakamela ayizilwane ezikhanyayo, okuchaza ukuhlafuna kwawo njalo.
Izihlahla ezinameva nezinzima zilungele idrama. Udla amakhambi omile, izitshalo ezinobuthi nezomunyu, uma kunesidingo, angadla inyama, inhlanzi ngisho nesidumbu.
Lezi zilwane zinesakhiwo esiyinkimbinkimbi sesisu, esivumela ukuthi zingabi nokudla namanzi. Kungaba ogwadule cishe izinsuku eziyi-10, ngaphandle kokudla noma amanzi, futhi noma kusimo sezulu esishisa kakhulu yehliswa kuphela ikota yesisindo sayo. Kepha i-hump yedrama, elenza umsebenzi we "flask" lingahlala lisebenzisa izinqolobane ezifihliwe zomzimba walo futhi ngalokho lizinikeze umswakama.
Kodwa-ke, uma ikamela lingena emadlelweni, lingase life ngokushesha, njengoba umzimba walo ujwayele ukwanda kasawoti okwengeziwe, okuqukethe izitshalo zasogwadule namanzi. Injalo imfihlakalo yemvelo.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha nokulindelwa kwempilo yedroma
Ngesikhathi sokukhwelana okuzayo, owesilisa womhlambi uqaphe ngenkuthalo izinsikazi futhi uvikele kwabanye abesilisa. Uma kwenzeka ukuhlangana kwabesilisa, izimbangi ziqala zikhalise kakhulu, bese zinamathela ezintanyeni zazo, zizama ukuchobozana, zilume emilenzeni, zibambe ikhanda. Inqubo yokukhwelana ithatha cishe imizuzu engu-7-35. Abantu abakhulelwe bahlukaniswa nomhlambi futhi bahlala eqenjini elihlukile.
Isikhathi sokuzalela amakamela siqondana nesikhathi sezimvula nokwanda kwamahora emini. Sebefinyelele eminyakeni engu-3-4 ubudala, ama-dromedaries abesifazane asevele ekwazi ukuzala. Umsebenzi wabo wokuzala uhlala kuze kube yiminyaka engama-30.
Insikazi ingazala izinyane elilodwa noma amabili, bese ibondla ngobisi kuze kube izinyanga eziyi-15-18. Lapho umntwana ezalwa, unama-hump amabili, okuyinto eyiqiniso elithakazelisayo.
Kepha, yize kunesimo sezulu esingesihle sasogwadule kanye nokudla okungekuhle, amakamela aphila ngokwesilinganiso iminyaka engama-30. Dromedary, isithombe ekhanyisa ngokoqobo ukukhanya nokufudumala kogwadule, iminyaka eminingi iyaqhubeka nokumangaza abantu ngamakhono afihlekile omzimba wayo.
Manje sesiyazi idemomary elinama-hump angaki, okungukuthi i-hump eyodwa. Futhi ngasikhathi sinye, ikamela liyisilwane esihle futhi esinobungane esenza impilo ibe lula kubantu basehlane.
