Olona hlobo lwebhadi ziintshukumo ezintle kunye nokutsiba. Ii-ungulates ezithambileyo ezilinganayo zisekhaya ikakhulu kumathafa kunye ne-savannas yase-Afrika ne-Asiya.

iimpawu

Akhangeleka njani amabhadi?

Amabhadi ahamba ngokolandelelwano lwezilwanyana ezinonyawo olulinganayo kwaye apho - njengeenkomo - kwindawo engaphantsi kwezilwanyana ezetyisayo. Benza i-subfamily ye-gazelles, ebandakanya malunga neentlobo ezili-16 ezahlukeneyo. Onke amabhadi anomzimba omncinci, olungeleleneyo kunye nemilenze emide ebhityileyo.

Kuxhomekeka kuhlobo, amabhadi amakhulu njengexhama okanye ixhama elifusi. Zilinganisa i-85 ukuya kwi-170 yeesentimitha ukusuka empumlweni ukuya ezantsi, ubude begxalaba buziisentimitha ezingama-50 ukuya kwi-110, kwaye banobunzima obuphakathi kwe-12 kunye ne-85 yeekhilogram. Umsila une-15 ukuya kwi-30 yeesentimitha ubude.

Zombini iinkunzi neemazi zidla ngokuba neempondo ezinobude obuziisentimitha ezingama-25 ukuya kuma-35 ubude. Noko ke, kwiimazi, zidla ngokuba mfutshane noko. Iimpondo zinezazinge ezinqamlezileyo kuzo zonke iinyamakazi, kodwa imilo yeempondo iyahluka phakathi kweentlobo. Kwamanye amabhadi iimpondo ziphantse zathi nkqo, kwezinye, zigobile ngokwemilo ka-S.

Uboya bebhadi bumdaka okanye butyheli-ngwevu, bumnyama ngasemva, kwaye bumhlophe kwicala le-ventral. Iindidi ezininzi zebhadi zinemigca emnyama ehamba emacaleni omzimba. Ngombulelo kulo mbala kunye nomgca omnyama, iibhadi azibonakali kakuhle kubushushu obubengezelayo beesavanna kunye namathafa. Eyona nto ixhaphakileyo neyaziwayo ibhadi yibhadi likaThomson. Uphakame nje ngeesentimitha ezingama-65 egxalabeni kwaye unobunzima obuziikhilogram ezingama-28 kuphela. Uboya bazo bunombala omdaka namhlophe kwaye banomgca omnyama othe tye oqhelekileyo ecaleni.

Ahlala phi amabhadi?

Amabhadi anokufunyanwa kulo lonke elaseAfrika kunye nakummandla omkhulu weAsia ukusuka kuSingasiqithi weArabia ukuya kumantla eIndiya ukuya kumantla eTshayina. Ibhadi likaThomson lifumaneka eMpuma Afrika kuphela. Apho uhlala eKenya, eTanzania nakumazantsi eSudan. Amabhadi ahlala kumathafa anengca, oko kukuthi iindawo zokuhlala ezomileyo apho kukho imithi embalwa ngokwentelekiso. Ezinye iintlobo zikwahlala kwiindawo eziphantse zibe yintlango okanye nakwiintlango okanye kwiintaba eziphakamileyo ezingenamithi.

Zeziphi iindidi zamabhadi akhoyo?

Abaphandi abakayazi ncam ukuba zingaphi iindidi zeebhadi ezahlukeneyo ezikhoyo. Namhlanje i-subfamily ye-gazelles yahlulwe yaba yimijelo emithathu kwaye yahlula malunga neentlobo ezili-16. Ezinye iintlobo zebhadi ezaziwayo ngaphandle kwebhadi likaThomson yibhadi laseDorka, ibhadi iSpeke, okanye ibhadi laseTibet.

Iba neminyaka emingaphi amabhadi?

Amabhadi kaThomson aphila iminyaka elithoba endle kodwa angaphila iminyaka eli-15 ekuthinjweni.

Ziphathe

Aphila njani amabhadi?

Emva kweengwenkala, amabhadi sisilwanyana sesibini esikhawulezayo kwi-savannah. Ngokomzekelo, iibhadi zikaThomson ziyakwazi ukugcina isantya esingangeekhilomitha ezingama-60 ngeyure ukuya kutsho kwimizuzu emine, yaye isantya sazo sisuka kwiikhilomitha ezingama-80 ukuya kwezili-100 ngeyure. Xa ebaleka kwaye ebaleka kakhulu, amabhadi akholisa ukutsibela phezulu emoyeni ngayo yomine imilenze. Oku kuxhuma kubanika umbono ongcono wendawo kunye nalapho iintshaba. Ukongeza, amabhadi ayakwazi ukubona, ukuva kunye nokujoja kakuhle kakhulu, ngokokude amarhamncwa angakwazi ukuwabaleka.

Amabhadi asebenza kuphela emini kusasa nasemva kwemini. Ezinye iintlobo zihlala kwimihlambi yezilwanyana ezili-10 ukuya kwezingama-30. Kwiisavanna zaseAfrika, apho iimeko zokuphila zilungile, kukho nemihlambi yebhadi enamakhulu aliqela okanye amawaka aliqela ezilwanyana. Kwimeko yebhadi likaThomson, iinkunzi ezincinci zihlala kunye kwizinto ezibizwa ngokuba yimihlambi yamasoka. Xa zithe zaqola ngokwesini, ziyayishiya le mihlambi zize zizibanga indawo yazo. Amabhinqa angena kulo mmandla ke angowale ndoda kwaye akhuselwe ngokuchasene nabo bakhuphisana nabo. Noko ke, iimazi ziyawushiya umhlambi wazo ngokuphindaphindiweyo zize zithelele komnye umhlambi.

Abahlobo neentshaba zamabhadi

Amabhadi akhawuleza kakhulu kwaye alumkile, ngoko ke anethuba elihle lokubaleka amarhamncwa. Olona tshaba lwakho yingwenkala, ekwazi ukubaleka isantya seekhilomitha ezili-100 ngeyure ixesha elifutshane kakhulu. Ukuba ikwazi ukucutha ibhadi ngokusondeleyo kakhulu, ayinakukwazi ukulibeka kwindawo ekhuselekileyo. Ukongezelela kwiingwenkala, iintshaba zamabhadikazi ziquka iingonyama, amahlosi, iingcuka, oodyakalashe, iingcuka namaxhalanga.

Zizala njani iibhadi?

Ixesha lokumitha kwamabhadi lithatha iinyanga ezintlanu ukuya kwezintandathu. Ezinye iintlobo zinomntwana omnye kabini ngonyaka, ezinye zinamawele okanye ezintathu ukuya kwamane amatsha kanye ngonyaka.

Ngaphambi kokuba zizale, iimazi ziyawushiya umhlambi. Zizala zodwa inzala yazo. Oomama bamabhadi kaThomson babeka amantshontsho abo kwindawo ekhuselekileyo baze bawagcine kumgama oziimitha ezingama-50 ukuya kwezili-100. Emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa, oomama bebhadi babuyela emhlambini kunye namantshontsho abo.

Amabhadi anxibelelana njani?

Amabhadi anxibelelana ngokuyintloko ngokushukumisa umsila. Ngokomzekelo, ukuba imazi yebhadi ishukumisa umsila ngokuthe chu, amantshontsho ayo aya kukwazi ukuyilandela. Ukuba ibhadi liwushukumisa ngamandla umsila walo, libonisa abamelwane balo ukuba ingozi isemnyango. Yaye ekubeni amabhadi edla ngokuba nechokoza elimhlophe ezimpundwini yaye nemisila yawo imnyama, ukushukuma kwemisila yawo kunokubonwa kude.

Care

Atya ntoni amabhadi?

Amabhadi adla ngokutya ingca, imifuno kunye namagqabi. Ngamanye amaxesha ziye zime ngemilenze yazo yangasemva ukuze zifikelele kumagqabi omnga. Ngexesha lonyaka elomileyo, ezinye iintlobo zebhadi zifuduka kumakhulu eekhilomitha ukuya kwiindawo ezimanzi apho zinokufumana ukutya okuninzi.
