Anyani ndi mtundu wa anyani akuluakulu. Iwo ndi a nyama zoyamwitsa ndipo ndi achibale apamtima a anthu. M’chilengedwe, amakhala m’katikati mwa Africa kokha. Kumeneko amakhala m’nkhalango yamvula komanso m’tchire.
Pali mitundu iwiri ya anyani: "Chimpanzi wamba" nthawi zambiri amatchedwa "chimpanzi". Mitundu ina ndi bonobo, yomwe imadziwikanso kuti "pygmy chimpanzee". Komabe, ndi pafupifupi kukula kwake ndi chimpanzi wamba koma amangokhala m’nkhalango zamvula.
Anyani amatalika pafupifupi mita imodzi kuchokera kumutu mpaka pansi. Akaima, amafanana ndi kukula kwa munthu wamng’ono. Akazi amafika ma kilogalamu 25 mpaka 50, amuna ndi ma kilogalamu 35 mpaka 70. Mikono yanu ndi yayitali kuposa miyendo yanu. Ali ndi makutu ozungulira pamitu pawo ndipo maso awo ali ndi mafupa okhuthala.
Anyani ali pangozi yaikulu. Chifukwa chachikulu: anthu akutenga malo ochulukirapo pochotsa nkhalango ndikubzala minda. Ofufuza, opha nyama popanda chilolezo, ndi alendo odzaona malo akuwonjezera matenda a chimpanzi. Zimenezi zingawononge moyo wa anyani.
Kodi anyani amakhala bwanji?
Anyani ambiri amadya m’mitengo, komanso pansi. Amadya chilichonse, koma makamaka zipatso ndi mtedza. Koma masamba, maluwa, ndi njere zilinso pazakudya zawo. Palinso tizilombo ndi nyama zazing'ono zoyamwitsa monga mileme, komanso anyani ena.
Anyani amatha kukwera mozungulira mitengo. Pansi, amayenda ndi mapazi ndi manja awo. Komabe, sizimathandizidwa pa dzanja lonse, koma pa chala chachiwiri ndi chachitatu. Kwa ife anthu, chimenecho chikanakhala chala cholozera ndi chapakati.
Anyani amakhala maso masana ndipo usiku amagona mofanana ndi anthu. Usiku uliwonse amamanga chisa chatsopano cha masamba pamtengo. Satha kusambira. Chimpanzi wamba amagwiritsa ntchito zida: matabwa monga nyundo kapena ndodo pokumba kapena kuchotsa chiswe m'mabwinja awo.
Anyani ndi nyama zamagulu. Amakhala m'magulu akuluakulu kapena amagawidwa m'magulu ang'onoang'ono. Pankhani ya chimpanzi wamba, mwamuna nthawi zambiri amakhala bwana, pa bonobos, nthawi zambiri amakhala wamkazi. Anyani onse amasamalira ubweya wa mnzake potola tizilombo ndi nyama zina zazing'ono.
Kodi anyani amaberekana bwanji?
Anyani amatha kuberekana chaka chonse. Mofanana ndi akazi, akazi amasamba pakatha milungu isanu kapena isanu ndi umodzi iliyonse. Mimba imatha miyezi isanu ndi iwiri mpaka isanu ndi itatu. Umu ndi utali umene mayi amanyamula mwana wake m’mimba. Nthawi zambiri amangobereka mwana wakhanda mmodzi pa nthawi. Pali mapasa ochepa kwambiri.
Mwana wa chimpanzi amalemera pafupifupi kilogalamu imodzi kapena ziwiri. Kenako imamwa mkaka wa m’mawere a mayi ake kwa zaka zinayi kapena zisanu. Koma kenako amakhala ndi mayiyo kwa nthawi yaitali.
Anyani ayenera kukhala ndi zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri kapena zisanu ndi zinayi asanakhale ndi ana awoawo. Komabe, m’gululo ayenera kuyembekezera. Anyani wamba amakhala ndi zaka 13 mpaka 16 asanakhale makolo. Kutchire, anyani amakhala zaka 30 mpaka 40, ndipo kumalo osungira nyama nthawi zambiri amakhala zaka 50.
