Ukhozi ziintaka ezinkulu ezidla inyama. Kukho iindidi ezininzi, ezifana ne-golden eagles, i-white-tailed eagles kunye ne-osprey. Zitya izilwanyana ezincinci nezinkulu. Zibamba ixhoba lazo ngeenzipho zazo ezomeleleyo xa zibhabha, emhlabeni, okanye emanzini.
Amaxhalanga akholisa ukwakha iindlwane zawo, ezibizwa ngokuba zii-eyries, ematyeni okanye kwimithi emide. Imazi izalela iqanda elinye ukuya kwamane apho. Ixesha lokufukamela ziintsuku ezingama-30 ukuya kwezingama-45 ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo. Amantshontsho ekuqaleni amhlophe, iintsiba zawo ezimnyama zikhula kamva. Emva kweeveki ezimalunga ne-10 ukuya kwezili-11, amantshontsho ayakwazi ukubhabha.
Olona didi lwaziwayo lukhozi kuMbindi Yurophu lukhozi olubugolide. Iintsiba zayo zimdaka kwaye amaphiko ayo azoluliweyo aziimitha ezimbini ububanzi. Ihlala ikakhulu kwiiAlps nakwiMeditera, kodwa nakuMntla Merika naseAsia. Ukhozi olubugolide lunamandla kakhulu kwaye luyakwazi ukuzingela izilwanyana ezincancisayo ezinzima kunalo. Ivamise ukubamba imivundla kunye neembila, kodwa namaxhama amancinci namaxhama, ngamanye amaxesha izirhubuluzi kunye neentaka.
Emantla nasempuma yeJamani, kwelinye icala, unokufumana ukhozi olunomsila omhlophe: amaphiko alo makhulu kancinci kunokhozi lwegolide, oluya kuthi ga kwi-2.50 yeemitha. Intloko nentamo zikhaphukhaphu kunomzimba wonke. Ukhozi olunomsila omhlophe lutya kakhulu iintlanzi kunye neentaka zasemanzini.
Esondelelene nayo lukhozi olunempandla, olufumaneka kuMntla Merika kuphela. Iintsiba zayo ziphantse zibe mnyama, ngoxa intloko yayo imhlophe ngokupheleleyo. Usisisilwanyana esibizwa ngokuba yi-heraldic, uphawu olwahlukileyo, eUnited States.
Ngaba iinkozi zisengozini?
Abantu baye bezingela ukhozi okanye bacoca iindlwane zalo kangangeenkulungwane. Babembona njengomntu okhuphisana naye kuba wayesitya amaxhoba abantu, njengemivundla, kodwa namatakane. Ukhozi lwegolide lwalutshabalele kulo lonke elaseJamani, ngaphandle kweeAlps zaseBavaria. Yayiphila ngokuyintloko kwiintaba apho abantu babengakwazi ukufikelela kwiindlwane zayo.
Amazwe awahlukahlukeneyo aye akhusela ukhozi ukususela ngenkulungwane yama-20. Ukususela ngoko, inani leenkozi liye lachacha kumazwe amaninzi, kuquka iJamani, iOstriya neSwitzerland.
Ukhozi olunomsila omhlophe luye lwazingelwa kangangeenkulungwane yaye luphantse lwabhanga entshona Yurophu. EJamani, wasinda kuphela kumazwe amanyeneyo eMecklenburg-Western Pomerania naseBrandenburg. Enye ingozi yeza kamva: ityhefu yesinambuzane iDDT yafumba entlanzini yaza ngaloo ndlela yatyhefa ukhozi olunomsila omhlophe ukuze amaqanda alo angazali okanye ade aphuke.
Amanye amazwe aye anceda ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo ukubuyisela iinkozi ezinomsila omhlophe. Isibulali-zinambuzane iDDT yavalwa. Ebusika, ukhozi olunomsila omhlophe lutyiswa ukongezwa. Maxa wambi, iindlwane zokhozi zazide zigadwe ngamatsha-ntliziyo ukuze iinkozi zingaphazanyiswa okanye zibiwe ngabathengisi bezilwanyana zasekhaya. Ukusukela ngo-2005, ayisajongwa njengesengozini eJamani. EOstriya, ukhozi olunomsila omhlophe lusengozini yokuphela. Ingakumbi ebusika, zikwatya inyama ebolileyo, oko kukuthi izilwanyana ezifileyo. Ezi zinokuba nelothe eninzi, etyhefa ukhozi olunomsila omhlophe. Oololiwe abahambayo okanye iintambo zombane zikwayingozi. Abanye abantu basabeka izithiyelo ezinetyhefu.
Ukhozi olunomsila omhlophe zange lubekho ekhaya eSwitzerland. Ubukhulu becala, udlula njengondwendwe oludlulayo. I-Osprey kunye namaxhalanga amancinci nawo azala eJamani. Kukho intlaninge yezinye iindidi zamaxhalanga ehlabathini lonke.
Kutheni amaxhalanga ehlala enxibe iidyasi zengalo?
Idyasi ngumfanekiso omele ilizwe, isixeko okanye usapho. Ukususela kumaxesha amandulo abantu bebethabatheka ziintaka ezinkulu ezibhabha esibhakabhakeni. Abaphandi bade bacinge ukuba igama elithi ukhozi lisuka kwigama elithi "isidwangube". AmaGrike amandulo ayelugqala ukhozi njengomfuziselo kaZeyus, uyise woothixo, ngoxa amaRoma ayekholelwa ukuba nguJupiter.
NakumaXesha Aphakathi, ukhozi lwaluluphawu lwamandla asebukhosini nobuhandiba. Kungenxa yoko le nto yayingookumkani nabalawuli kuphela ababevunyelwa ukuba basebenzise ukhozi njengesilwanyana sabo. Ngoko wangena kwiidyasi zengalo zamazwe amaninzi, umzekelo, eJamani, eOstriya, ePoland naseRashiya. Nkqu ne-USA ine-eagle crest, nangona ingazange ibe nenkosi. Ukhozi lwaseMelika lukhozi olunempandla, kwaye iJamani lukhozi lwegolide.
