Isibankwa esikhulu kunazo zonke eMhlabeni sihlala esiqhingini saseKomodo e-Indonesia. "Ingwenya ikhasa phansi." Azikho eziningi izibankwa zeKomodo eziqapha i-Indonesia, ngakho-ke, kusukela ngo-1980, lesi silwane sifakiwe ku-IUCN.
Ngabe libukeka kanjani udrako iKomodo
Ukuvela kwesigcilikisha esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni kuthakazelisa kakhulu - ikhanda elifana nesibankwa, umsila nezidladla njenge-alligator, isifonyo esikhumbuza udrako omuhle, ngaphandle kokuthi umlilo awuphumi emlonyeni omkhulu, kodwa kukhona okuthakazelisayo nokwesabekayo kulesi silwane. Isibankwa somuntu omdala esivela eKomod sinesisindo esingaphezu kwamakhilogremu ayikhulu, kanti ubude baso bungafinyelela kumamitha amathathu. Kunezimo lapho izazi zezilwane zathola iKomodo enkulu kakhulu futhi enamandla yokuqapha izibankwa ezinesisindo esingamakhilogremu ayikhulu namashumi ayisithupha.
Isikhumba sezibankwa zokuqapha ikakhulu simpunga ngamabala akhanyayo. Kunabantu abanesikhumba esimnyama namaconsi amancane aphuzi. Isibankwa saseKomodo sinamazinyo aqinile, "edrako" futhi yonke into iminyene. Kanye kuphela, uma ubheka lesi silwane esihuquzelayo, ungasaba kakhulu, ngoba ukubukeka kwaso okwesabekayo ngokuqondile "kuyamemeza" ngokubamba noma ukubulala. Akulona ihlaya, udrako waseKomodo unamazinyo angamashumi ayisithupha.
Kuyathakazelisa! Uma ubamba isigebenga seKomodo, isilwane sizojabula kakhulu. Ukusuka ngaphambili, lapho uthi nhlá, isilwane esihuquzelayo esihle, isibankwa sokuqapha singaphenduka isilo esithukuthele. Uyakwazi kalula, ngosizo lomsila onamandla, ukuwisa phansi isitha esimbambile, bese simlimaza ngokungenasihawu. Ngakho-ke, ayifanele ingozi.
Uma ubheka udrako iKomodo nemilenze yalo emincane, singacabanga ukuthi ihamba kancane. Kodwa-ke, uma umhloli weKomodo ezwa ubungozi, noma uma ebonile isisulu esifanele phambi kwakhe, uzozama ngokushesha ngemizuzwana embalwa ukusheshisa kahle kusivinini samakhilomitha angamashumi amabili nanhlanu ngehora. Into eyodwa ingasindisa isisulu, ukugijima okusheshayo, ngoba ukuqapha izibankwa akukwazi ukuhamba ngokushesha isikhathi eside, zikhathele kakhulu.
Kuyathakazelisa! Lezi zindaba zikhulume kaningi ngezibankwa zokubulala iKomodo ezihlasela umuntu, zilambe kakhulu. Kwakunecala lapho izibankwa ezinkulu zokuqapha zingena ezigodini, futhi lapho zibona izingane zibalekela zona, zazibamba zahlukana. Indaba enjalo yenzeka futhi lapho isibankwa sokuqapha sihlasela abazingeli, abadubula inyamazane bathwala inyamazane emahlombe abo. Omunye wabo walunywa yisigcilikisha sokuqapha isisulu asifunayo.
IKomodo yokuqapha izibankwa ibhukuda kahle kakhulu. Kukhona ofakazi bokuzibonela abathi lesi sibankwa sikwazile ukubhukuda sinqamula ulwandle olugubhayo sisuka kwesinye isiqhingi esikhulu siye kwesinye ngemizuzu embalwa. Kodwa-ke, ngalokhu kudinge isibankwa sokuqapha ukuthi sime futhi siphumule cishe imizuzu engamashumi amabili, ngoba kuyaziwa ukuthi ukuqapha izibankwa kuyakhathala ngokushesha
Indaba yokuqala
Baqala ukukhuluma ngezibankwa zikaKomodo ngesikhathi lapho, ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, cishe. IJava (Holland) ithole ucingo ngocingo kumphathi ukuthi ama-dragons amakhulu noma izibankwa zihlala eSpecial Sunda Archipelago, abacwaningi besayensi abangakayizwa. UVan Stein waseFlores wabhala ngalokhu ukuthi eduze nesiqhingi saseFlores naseKomodo kuhlala into engaqondakali "ngengwenya yomhlaba".
Izakhamuzi zakule ndawo zatshela uVan Stein ukuthi izilo zihlala kuso sonke isiqhingi, zinolaka kakhulu, futhi ziyazesaba. Ubude, izilo ezinjalo zingafinyelela kumamitha ayi-7, kepha kaningi kunamamitha amane amaKomodo dragons. Ososayensi abavela eZoological Museum yaseJava Island banqume ukucela uVan Stein ukuthi aqoqe abantu bakulesi siqhingi futhi athole isibankwa, isayensi yaseYurophu ebingakakwazi ngaso.
Futhi lolu hambo lwakwazi ukubamba isibankwa seKomodo, kodwa wayemude ngo-220 cm kuphela.Ngakho-ke, abafunayo banquma, ngazo zonke izindlela, ukuthola lezi zilwane ezinwabuzelayo ezinkulu. Futhi ekugcineni bakwazile ukuletha izingwenya ezinkulu ze-4 zaseKomodo, ngayinye ingamamitha amathathu ubude, emnyuziyamu wezilwane.
Kamuva, ngo-1912, wonke umuntu wayesazi kakade ngokuba khona kwesirhubuluzi esikhulu esivela ku-almanac eshicilelwe, lapho kwanyatheliswa khona isithombe sesigcilikisha esikhulu esinesiginesha ethi "Komodo dragon". Ngemuva kwalesi sihloko esiseduze ne-Indonesia, eziqhingini eziningana, iKomodo iqapha izibankwa nazo zaqala ukutholakala. Kodwa-ke, kuphela ngemuva kokufundwa ngokuningiliziwe kwezinqolobane zeSultan, kwaziwa ukuthi bayazi ngesifo esikhulu sonyawo nomlomo ekuqaleni kuka-1840.
Kwenzeka ukuthi ngo-1914, ngenkathi kuqala impi yezwe, iqembu lososayensi kwadingeka ukuthi luvale okwesikhashana ucwaningo bese libamba izibankwa zeKomodo. Kodwa-ke, ngemuva kweminyaka eyi-12, abakwaKomodo baqapha izibankwa seziqalile ukukhuluma eMelika futhi bazibiza ngamagama abo ngolimi lwabo "dragon comodo".
Indawo yokuhlala nempilo yesigcilikisha seKomodo
Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwamakhulu amabili, ososayensi bebelokhu becwaninga ngempilo nangemikhuba yodrako waseKomodo, kanye nokucwaninga ngokuningiliziwe ukuthi lezi zidlabuzane ezinkulu zidlani nokuthi kanjani. Kwavela ukuthi izilwane ezihuquzelayo ezinegazi elibandayo azenzi lutho emini, zenziwa zisebenze kusukela ekuseni kuze kuphume ilanga futhi kusukela ngehora lesihlanu kusihlwa ziqala ukufuna inyamazane yazo. Ukuqapha izibankwa ezivela eKomodo azithandi umswakama, zihlala kakhulu lapho kunamathafa omile noma zihlala ehlathini lemvula.
Isidlakela esikhulu sakwaKomodo ekuqaleni siyindida, kepha singakhula ngesivinini esingakaze sibe khona, esifinyelela kumakhilomitha angamashumi amabili. Ngakho-ke nama-alligator awahambi ngokushesha. Banikezwa nokudla kalula uma kuphakeme. Basukuma ngokuthula ngemilenze yabo yangemuva futhi, ngokuthembela emsileni wabo oqinile nonamandla, bathola ukudla. Banuka kabi isisulu sabo sesikhathi esizayo. Bangahogela negazi ebangeni lamakhilomitha ayishumi nanye futhi babone isisulu kude, ngoba ukuzwa kwabo, ukubona kwabo nephunga labo kungcono kakhulu!
Ukuqapha izibankwa zithanda ukuzitika nganoma iyiphi inyama emnandi. Ngeke badele igundane elilodwa elikhulu noma eziningana, futhi badle nezinambuzane nezibungu. Lapho zonke izinhlanzi nezinkalankala ziphonswa olwandle yisiphepho, sezivele zigijimele lapha nalaphaya ngasogwini ukuze zibe ngabokuqala ukudla "ukudla kwasolwandle". Ukuqapha izibankwa zidla kakhulu kwesidumbu, kepha kube nezimo lapho amadragoni ehlasela izimvu zasendle, izinyathi zamanzi, izinja nezimbuzi zasendle.
Izidlakela zaseKomodo azithandi ukulungiselela kusengaphambili ukuzingela, zihlasela ngesinyenyela isisulu, zisibambe bese sizidonsela ngokushesha endaweni yazo yokukhosela.
Izibungu zokuqapha ukuzalanisa
Gada umhlobo wezibankwa ikakhulu ehlobo elifudumele, phakathi noJulayi. Ekuqaleni, insikazi ifuna indawo lapho ingabeka khona amaqanda ayo ngokuphepha. Akakhethi noma yiziphi izindawo ezikhethekile, angasebenzisa izidleke zezinkukhu zasendle ezihlala esiqhingini. Ngokunuka, ngokushesha nje lapho udrako wesifazane waseKomodo ethola isidleke, ungcwaba amaqanda akhe ukuze kungabikho muntu ongawathola. Izingulube zasendle zeNimble, ezijwayele ukucekela phansi izidleke zezinyoni, zihlaselwa kakhulu amaqanda edrako. Kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti, owesifazane oyedwa oqapha isilonda angabeka amaqanda angaphezu kwama-25. Amaqanda anesisindo esingamakhulu amabili amagremu ngamasentimitha ayishumi noma ayisithupha ubude. Lapho nje isizalikazi sesifazane sizalela amaqanda, asisuki kude naso, kepha silinda kuze kube yilapho amatshwele aso echanyuselwa.
Cabanga nje, zonke izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili insikazi ilinde ukuzalwa kwamawundlu. Izibankwa zodrako abancane zizalwa ekupheleni kukaMashi, futhi zingafinyelela kubude obungu-28 cm.Izibankwa ezincane azihlali nomama wazo. Bazinza ngokuhlala ezihlahleni ezide futhi badle lapho abakwaziyo. Amantshontsho ayesaba izibankwa ezindala eziqapha umfula. Labo abasinda futhi abangaweli ezinqeni eziqinile zoKlebe nezinyoka ezigcwala esihlahleni baqala ngokuzimela bafune ukudla emhlabathini ngemuva kweminyaka emibili, njengoba bekhula futhi beqina.
Ukugcina ukuqapha izibankwa ekuthunjweni
Kuyaqabukela ukuthi i-giant Komodo yokuqapha izibankwa ithanjiswe futhi ihlaliswe ema-zoo. Kepha, ngokumangazayo, ukuqapha izibankwa zijwayela abantu ngokushesha, zingaze zithanjiswe. Omunye wabamele izibankwa eziqaphile wayehlala eZoo yaseLondon, wadla ngokukhululeka ezandleni zombukeli futhi waze wamlandela yonke indawo.
Kulezi zinsuku, iKomodo iqapha izibankwa zihlala emapaki kazwelonke eziqhingi zaseRinja naseKomodo. Zibhalwe kuRed Book, ngakho-ke ukuzingela lezi zibankwa akuvumelekile ngokomthetho, futhi ngokwesinqumo sekomidi lase-Indonesia, ukubanjwa kwezibankwa zokuqapha kwenziwa kuphela ngemvume ekhethekile.
