Kadzidzi ndi mtundu wa mbalame zomwe zimapezeka padziko lonse lapansi kupatula ku Antarctica. Pali mitundu yopitilira 200. Achibale awo apamtima ndi mbalame zodya nyama. Kadzidzi anali kale kuonedwa ngati chizindikiro cha nzeru ndi Agiriki akale.
Akadzidzi amadziwika bwino ndi mitu yawo yozungulira komanso matupi awo. Imawoneka yotakata komanso yokulirapo, koma izi zimangochitika chifukwa cha nthenga zake. Nthenga za m’mapiko awo ndi zofewa kwambiri ndipo zimakonzedwa m’mbali ngati chisa. Choncho palibe phokoso lachibwibwi akadabwa nyama yawo mumdima. Mtundu waukulu kwambiri wa kadzidzi ndi kadzidzi wa chiwombankhanga, womwe umatha kukula mpaka 70 centimita.
Akadzidzi ndi ovuta kuwaona chifukwa sauluka masana koma amabisala m’mitengo, m’nyumba ndi m’miyala. Amabisanso bwino chifukwa nthenga zawo zimakhala zofiirira. Zina ndi zopepuka pang'ono, zina zakuda. Chotsatira chake, siziwoneka bwino m'mabowo amitengo ndi nthambi.
Kodi akadzidzi amakhala bwanji?
Akadzidzi amasaka bwino ndipo mitundu yambiri ya akadzidzi amakonda kudya mbewa. Koma nthawi zambiri amasaka nyama zina zazing'ono zoyamwitsa ndi mbalame. Akadzidzi ena amadyanso nsomba, njoka, nkhono, ndi achule. Zikumbu ndi tizilombo tambiri timadyanso zakudya zawo. Nthawi zambiri akadzidzi amameza nyama zonse. Pambuyo pa chimbudzi, amachotsa mafupa ndi ubweya. Mipira imeneyi imatchedwa ubweya. Kuchokera apa, katswiriyu amazindikira zomwe kadzidzi wadya.
Akadzidzi amagona masana ndipo madzulo, amayamba kufunafuna nyama zawo. Akadzidzi amatha kumva bwino kwambiri komanso amakhala ndi maso akulu, oyang'ana kutsogolo. Amathanso kuona bwino mumdima. Mutha kutembenuza mutu mpaka kubwerera popanda vuto lililonse.
Kodi akadzidzi amaberekana bwanji?
M'nyengo yozizira, yaimuna imagwiritsa ntchito mayitanidwe ake kuti ikope mkazi kuti agone naye. Akadzidzi samamanga zisa zawo, koma amayika mazira m'matanthwe kapena mitengo, zisa za mbalame zosiyidwa, pansi, ndi nyumba, kutengera mitundu.
Kadzidzi amaikira mazira angapo, nthawi zonse motalikirana kwa masiku angapo. Chiwerengerocho chimadalira mitundu ndi chakudya. Kadzidzi amatha kuswana kawiri pachaka ngati mbewa zili ndi chakudya chokwanira. Nthawi ya makulitsidwe ndi pafupifupi mwezi umodzi. Pa nthawi imeneyi, yaimuna imapatsa yaikazi yake chakudya.
Ana akadzidzi amakhala amisinkhu yosiyana malinga ndi nthawi imene dzira lawo linaikira. Ndicho chifukwa iwo ndi makulidwe osiyana. Nthawi zambiri ndi akale okha omwe amakhalapo. Kupatula apo, banja la kadzidzi lomwe lili ndi ana atatu limafuna pafupifupi mbewa 25 usiku uliwonse. Sikuti nthawi zonse amakwanitsa kuwathamangitsa.
Ana okalamba amachoka pachisa n’kukwera m’nthambi asanaphunzire kuuluka. Akangokwanitsa, makolo awo amawaphunzitsa kusaka. M'dzinja nyama zazing'ono zimasiya makolo awo ndikuyang'ana mgwirizano wawo kumapeto kwa nyengo yozizira.
Ndani akuika pangozi akadzidzi?

Ndani akuika pangozi akadzidzi?
Akadzidzi aakulu alibe zilombo zachilengedwe. Akadzidzi ang'onoang'ono amasakidwa ndi akadzidzi ena, komanso ndi mphungu ndi mbalame, komanso amphaka. Martens samangokonda kudya akadzidzi ang'onoang'ono, komanso mazira ndi nyama zazing'ono kuchokera ku zisa.
M'mayiko athu, akadzidzi onse mbadwa amatetezedwa. Choncho anthu saloledwa kuwasaka kapena kuwavulaza. Komabe, akadzidzi ambiri amafa chifukwa cha kugunda kwa magalimoto ndi masitima apamtunda, kapena chifukwa cha magetsi a zingwe zamagetsi. Choncho, kutchire, mbalamezi zimakhala zaka zisanu zokha, pamene kumalo osungira nyama zimatha kukhala zaka 20. Komabe, iwo ali pangozi kwambiri chifukwa malo awo achilengedwe akuzimiririka mochulukira.
