Izimpungushe zingabomndeni wezinja futhi zibukeka njengesiphambano phakathi kwempisi nempungushe. Ngemilenze yazo emide, zingagijima ngendlela emangalisayo!

Ibukeka kanjani impungushe?
Izimpungushe ziyizilwane ezidla ezinye. Ngokuya ngezinhlobo, imizimba yazo ingamasentimitha angama-70 kuya kwayi-100 ubude futhi inesisindo esingamakhilogremu ayisikhombisa kuya kwangama-20. Zinezindlebe eziqondile, ezingunxantathu, ikhala elicijile, nemilenze emide. Impungushe yegolide inemibala ehlukile kuye ngendawo yokusabalalisa. Uboya bayo buyahlukahluka ukusuka konsundu osagolide ukuya kunsundu ogqwalile kuye kompunga. Ujakalasi oneqolo elimnyama unombala obomvu-nsundu esiswini, emaceleni anombala onsundu ngokusajingi kanti ingemuva lifakwe mnyama okwesihlalo sehhashi. Inezindlebe ezinkulu kunezinye izinhlobo ezimbili kanye nemilenze emide kunejakalali esagolide.
Ijakalasi enemithende inombala onsundu ngokumpunga futhi inemigqa emaceleni ayo. Isihloko somsila simhlophe. Inezindlebe ezincanyana kanye nemilenze emide kuneyejakalase enomqolo omnyama. Ijakalasi yase-Abyssinian inombala obovu, inesisu nemilenze emhlophe. Impungushe egolide kanye ne-Abyssinian jackal yizimpungushe ezinkulu, ezinomhlane omnyama kanye nezimthende zincane kancane.
Zihlala kuphi izimpungushe?
I-golden jackal yiyona yodwa yezimpungushe etholakala nase-Europe. Isakazwa eningizimu-mpumalanga yeYurophu nase-Asia: eGrisi nasogwini lwaseDalmatian, enqamula eTurkey, ukusuka e-Asia Minor kuya eNdiya, eBurma, eMalaysia naseSri Lanka. E-Afrika, isenyakatho nasempumalanga yeSahara ukuya eKenya.
I-golden jackal yaze yabonwa eJalimane eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Ijakalasi elimnyama lihlala eMpumalanga Afrika kusukela e-Ethiopia kuya eTanzania naseKenya kanye naseningizimu ye-Afrika. Ijakalasi enemithende itholakala e-sub-Saharan Africa ukuya eNingizimu Afrika. I-Abyssinian jakalase itholakala e-Ethiopia nasempumalanga yeSudan. Izimpungushe ezisagolide nezimnyama zihlala emaqeleni otshani, kodwa nasemasavanna nasezingwadule. Bathanda izwe elivulekile futhi bagwema izihlahla eziwugqinsi.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izimpungushe ezinemithende zikhetha izindawo ezinothile emahlathini nasezihlahleni. Impungushe yase-Abyssinian ihlala ezindaweni ezingenamithi endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angu-3000 kuya kwangu-4400.
Yiziphi izinhlobo zezimpungushe ezikhona?
Izimpungushe ziyingxenye yezimpisi nezimpungushe. Kunezinhlobo ezine ezihlukene: impungushe egolide, impungushe eneqolo elimnyama, imfene, kanye ne-Abyssinian. Izimpungushe ezinomhlane omnyama nezinemigqa zihlobene kakhulu.
I-golden jackal, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ihlobene kakhulu nezinye izinhlobo zohlobo olufana nempisi noma i-coyote.
Izimpungushe ziba neminyaka emingaki?
Ojakalase baphila iminyaka engaba yisishiyagalombili endle futhi 14 kuya ku-16 ekuthunjweni.

Ziphila kanjani izimpungushe?
Zonke izinhlobo zezimpungushe ziyefana ngokuziphatha nangendlela yokuphila. Nokho, impungushe enemithende inamahloni kunezinye izinhlobo ezimbili. Ojakalase bayizilwane ezihlala njalo futhi bahlala ngamaqembu emindeni. Amaqembu omndeni angomakhelwane ayagwema wodwa. Umbhangqwana omdala, ovame ukuhlala ndawonye impilo yonke, wenza inkaba yeqembu, ehlanganisa abasha abavela kudoti wokugcina futhi ikakhulukazi abesifazane abavela kuma-litter amadala. Amawundlu angamaduna ashiya iqembu lapho esenonyaka owodwa ubudala.
Kunohlelo olucacile phakathi kwenhlangano yomndeni. Eyeduna ihola umndeni, ngezinye izikhathi nensikazi. Izimpungushe ezincane zidlala kakhulu zodwa ekuqaleni, njengoba zikhula ziya ziganga zodwa, kodwa akuvamile ukwenzeka ukulimala. Ojakalase bakoloni izindawo abazivikela ngobudlova kwamanye amaqembu emindeni. Kulezi zindawo, zihlala emigodini emincane eminingana noma emigodini eziyithatha kwezinye izilwane noma ngezinye izikhathi zizimbele zona.
Abangane nezitha zikajakalase
Izimpungushe ezincane zingaba yingozi ezilwaneni ezidla ezinye ezinkulu njengezinyoni ezidla inyama noma izimpisi. Izimpungushe ezindala zingaba izisulu zezingwe. Isitha esikhulu se-golden jackal impisi kwezinye izifunda.
Zizala kanjani izimpungushe?
Njengoba kusondela isikhathi sokuzala, eyeduna ihlala nensikazi yayo ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngemva kokumitha kwezinsuku ezingama-60 kuya kwezingama-70, insikazi izala amaphuphu amathathu kuya kwayisishiyagalombili. Ngokuvamile kusinda ezintathu noma ezine kuphela. Amancane awaboni lapho ezalwa futhi anejazi elinsundu ngokumnyama. Ngemva kwesikhathi esingangenyanga zishintsha uboya bazo bese zinemibala njengezilwane ezindala. Cishe ngemva kwamasonto amabili, zivula amehlo, futhi ngemva kwamasonto amabili kuya kwamathathu ziqala ukudla ukudla okuqinile ngaphezu kobisi lukanina. Lokhu kudla kugaywe ngabazali bese kuphinde kugaywe kwabancane.
Ngaphandle kwensikazi, eyeduna iphinde inakekele amaphuphu kusukela ekuqaleni futhi ivikele umndeni wayo kunoma yiziphi izigebengu. Lapho amaphuphu esemakhulu, eyeduna nensikazi bayashintshana ngokuzingela nokunakekela amaphuphu kanye nomlingani osala ngemuva.
Ezinyangeni ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisithupha, abafana basuke bezimele kodwa bavame ukuhlala nemindeni yabo.
