Tokee

Isirhubuluzi esinemibalabala esinelizwi elinamandla, iTokee eyinkunzi ikhupha iminxeba ekhwazayo evakala ngathi yinja yenja.

Zikhangeleka njani iitokees?

Iitokeyi zizilwanyana ezirhubuluzayo ezizezosapho lukanqinishe. Le ntsapho ikwabizwa ngokuba yi "Haftzeher" kuba izilwanyana ziyakwazi ukuhamba kwiindonga ezithe nkqo nakwiipaneli zeglasi. IiTokees zizirhubuluzi ezikhulu ngokwaneleyo. Zimalunga ne-35 ukuya kwi-40 yeesentimitha ubude, isiqingatha sazo sithatyathwa ngumsila.

Umbala wabo uyamangalisa: umbala osisiseko ungwevu, kodwa unamachaphaza aqaqambileyo orenji kunye namabala. Isisu sikhanya phantse ukuba mhlophe kwaye sikwanamachokoza a-orenji. IiTokees zinokutshintsha ubunzulu bombala wazo ngandlel’ ithile: uya uba buthathaka okanye womelele ngokuxhomekeke kwimo yawo, ubushushu kunye nokukhanya.

Umlomo wawo mkhulu kakhulu kwaye ubanzi kwaye zinemihlathi eyomeleleyo, amehlo azo abomvu buthubi. Iinkunzi nemazi kunzima ukwahlula: ngamanye amaxesha iimazi zinokubonwa ngokuba zineepokotho emva kwentloko yazo apho zigcina khona icalcium. Iinkunzi zikholisa ukuba nkulu kancinci kunemazi. Uphawu oluqhelekileyo lwamathokheni ziinzwane ezingaphambili kunye nemilenze yangasemva: kukho imicu encamathelayo ebanzi apho izilwanyana zinokufumana lula unyawo kwaye zihambe nakwindawo ezimtyibilizi kakhulu.

Zihlala phi iiTokees?

IiTokees zisekhaya eAsia. Apho bahlala eIndiya, ePakistan, eNepal, eBurma, kumazantsi eTshayina, phantse kuwo wonke uMzantsi-mpuma weAsia, kwiiPhilippines, naseNew Guinea. IiTokees “ngabalandeli benkcubeko” bokwenene yaye bayathanda ukungena ezitiyeni nasemakhayeni.

Zeziphi iindidi zamathokhi akhoyo?

IiTokees zinosapho olukhulu: usapho lukanqinishe lubandakanya iindidi ezingama-83 kunye neentlobo ezimalunga nama-670 ezahlukeneyo. Asasazwa kulo lonke elaseAfrika, emazantsi Yurophu, naseAsia ukuya eOstreliya. Oonqinishe abaziwayo baquka iithowuni, ingwe, unqinishe waseludongeni kunye nonqinishe wendlu.

Zingakanani iiTokees?

IiTokees zinokuphila iminyaka engaphezu kwama-20 ubudala.

Ziphila njani iiTokees?

IiTokees zisebenza kakhulu ebusuku. Kodwa abanye babo bavuka emva kwemini. Emva koko baye kuzingela baze bakhangele ukutya. Emini bazifihla kwiindawo ezincinci kunye neentanda. Iitokees, njengezinye iigeckos, zaziwa ngokukwazi kwazo ukubaleka nolona donga lugudileyo. Oku kwenziwa kube nokwenzeka ngoyilo olukhethekileyo lweenzwane zabo: kukho i-wafer-thin lamellae, ezona zigqunywe ngokuxineneyo ngeenwele ezincinci ezinokubonwa kuphela phantsi kwe-microscope.

Zisishumi kuphela sobungqimba njengeenwele zomntu, kwaye kukho malunga nama-5,000 ezi nwele kwi-square millimeter nganye. Ezi nwele, nazo, zinezona bhola zincinane ekupheleni kwazo. Bavumela i-tokee ukuba ibambelele kwiindawo ezigudileyo ngendlela enokuthi ikhululwe ngayo kuphela ngamandla: Ukuba i-tokee ibeka unyawo olunye phantsi ngokuqinileyo, unyawo lonyawo lubanzi kwaye iinwele zicinezelwe phezu komhlaba. I-Tokee ityibilika kancinci ecaleni kwayo kwaye ibambelele ngokuqinileyo.

Amacikilishe amahle ahlala egcinwe kwiindawo ezihlala abantu. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka ucinge ukuba banokuba yinkathazo ebusuku ngeefowuni zabo ezikhwaza kakhulu. Kwakhona, qaphela imihlathi yabo eyomeleleyo: iitokeyi ziyakuluma ukuba zisongelwa, ezinokuba buhlungu kakhulu. Nje ukuba zilume, aziyeki lula. Amaxesha amaninzi, nangona kunjalo, zoyikisa kuphela ngemilomo evulelekileyo.

Abahlobo kunye neentshaba zeMiqondiso

Amarhamncwa kunye neentaka ezinkulu ezidla inyama zinokuba yingozi kwiiTokees.

Zizala njani iitokees?

Njengazo zonke izilwanyana ezirhubuluzayo, iitokees zibeka amaqanda. Imazi, ukuba yondliwe kakuhle, inokuzalela amaqanda rhoqo kwiiveki ezintlanu ukuya kwezintandathu. Kukho iqanda elinye okanye amabini kwi-clutch nganye. Ngokuxhomekeke kwiqondo lobushushu, amantshontsho aqandusela emva kweenyanga ezimbini kwasekuqaleni. Nangona kunjalo, kunokuthatha ixesha elide ukuba iintsana ze-tokee zikhuphe ngaphandle kweqanda. Iimazi zibeka amaqanda okokuqala xa zineenyanga ezili-13 ukuya kwezili-16 ubudala.

IiTokees ziwakhathalele amantshontsho: abazali - ubukhulu becala amadoda - bagada amaqanda kwaye kamva namantshontsho asanda kuqanduselwa, anobude obuziisentimitha ezisibhozo ukuya kwishumi elinanye ubude. Noko ke, ukuba abaselula nabazali bahlukene, abazali ababaqondi abantwana babo yaye bade baligqale njengexhoba. Emva kweenyanga ezintandathu, iiTokees eziselula sele ziziisentimitha ezingama-20 ubude, yaye xa zinonyaka ubudala, zibe zilingana nabazali babo.

Ixolo?! Iitokees zinxibelelana njani:

IiTokees eziyindoda ngokukhethekileyo ngamaqabane angxola kakhulu: Benza iminxeba evakala ngathi “To-keh” okanye “Geck-ooh” kwaye bakhumbuza kakhulu ukukhonkotha kwenja. Ngamanye amaxesha iminxeba ifana nokukhala. Ingakumbi kwixesha lokukhwelana, ukusuka kuDisemba ukuya kuMeyi, iinkunzi zikhupha ezi fowuni; unyaka uphela bazola.

Iimazi azifowni. Ukuba baziva besongelwa, basuka batswine okanye batswine.
