Ucwaningo lukhombisile ukuthi izingulube zamanje ezikhasa emaxhaphozini aseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-United States azihlukile kakhulu kokhokho bazo abaphila cishe eminyakeni eyizigidi eziyisishiyagalombili edlule.
Ukuhlaziywa kwezinsalela ezifakwayo kukhombisa ukuthi lezi zilo zibukeka zifana nokhokho bazo. Ngokusho kwabaphenyi, ngaphandle koshaka nezinye izilwane ezinomgogodla, bambalwa kakhulu abamele le nhlobo engezansi yezingxabano ezingatholakala ebezizokwenza ushintsho oluncane ngale ndlela isikhathi eside kangako.
Njengomunye wababhali ababambisene nalolu cwaningo, u-Evan Whiting, uthi, ukube abantu bebenethuba lokuhlehla emuva eminyakeni eyizigidi eziyisishiyagalombili, bezokwazi ukubona umehluko omkhulu, kepha ama-alligator abe afana nezizukulwane zabo eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-United States. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngisho neminyaka eyizigidi ezingama-30 edlule, babengenawo umehluko omkhulu.
Lokhu kuyathakazelisa kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi izinguquko eziningi zenzekile eMhlabeni esikhathini esedlule. Ama-alligator abhekane nezinguquko ezinkulu zesimo sezulu kanye nokwehla kwamazinga olwandle. Lezi zinguquko zibangele ukuqothulwa kwezinye izilwane eziningi, hhayi izilwane ezingazweli kangako, kepha ama-alligator akagcinanga ngokufa, kepha awazange aguquke.
Ngesikhathi kwenziwa ucwaningo, kwavubukulwa ugebhezi lwengwenya yasendulo, okwakucatshangwa ukuthi lumele uhlobo oluthile lwezilwane ezingasekho, eFlorida. Kodwa-ke, abacwaningi basheshe babona ukuthi lolu khakhayi lwalucishe lufane nolwe-alligator yanamuhla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwafundwa amazinyo ama-alligator asendulo nezingwenya ezingasekho. Ukuba khona kwezinsalela zombili zalezi zinhlobo enyakatho yeFlorida kungasho ukuthi zazihlala ziseduze nolwandle eminyakeni eminingi edlule.
Ngasikhathi sinye, ukuhlaziywa kwamazinyo abo kukhombisile ukuthi izingwenya kwakuyizilwane ezihuquzelayo zasolwandle ezazifuna inyamazane emanzini olwandle, kuyilapho ama-alligator athola ukudla kwawo emanzini ahlanzekile nasemhlabeni.
Kodwa-ke, ngaphandle kokuthi ama-alligator akhombise ukubekezelela okumangazayo izigidi zeminyaka, manje babhekene nenye ingozi, esabekayo kakhulu kunokuguquka kwesimo sezulu nokuguquguquka kwezinga lolwandle - abantu. Isibonelo, ekuqaleni kwekhulu leminyaka elidlule, lezi zilwane ezihuquzelayo zacishe zaqothulwa ngokuphelele. Ngezinga elikhulu, lokhu futhi kwenziwa lula yisiko lekhulu le-19, elidala kakhulu maqondana nemvelo, okusho ukuthi ukubhujiswa "kwezidalwa eziyingozi, ezimbi nezizingelayo" kwakuthathwa njengesenzo esihle nesinokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu.
Ngenhlanhla, lo mbono wanyakaziswa futhi ngosizo lwezinhlelo ezikhethekile, inani lama-alligator labuyiselwa ingxenye yalo. Ngasikhathi sinye, abantu baqhubeka ngokucekela phansi izindawo zendabuko zama-alligator. Ngenxa yalokhu, amathuba okushayisana phakathi kwama-alligator nabantu akhula kakhulu, okuzogcina kuholele ekuqothulweni kwalezi zilwane ezihuquzelayo kulezi zindawo. Vele, ukuhlasela kwezindawo ezisele akugcini lapho futhi kungekudala ama-alligator alahlekelwa yingxenye yezindawo zawo zokuhlala ezisele. Futhi uma lokhu kuqhubeka, lezi zilwane zasendulo zizonyamalala ebusweni bomhlaba, hhayi ngenxa yabazingeli abangekho emthethweni, kepha ngenxa yokulangazelela okungapheli kweHomo sapiens yokudliwa, okuyisona sizathu esikhulu sokuthuthuka okungapheli kwezindawo eziningi nokusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwemithombo yemvelo. ...
