Izici

Abukeka kanjani amabhubesi?

Amabhubesi ayingxenye yezilwane ezidla inyama futhi lapho angawomndeni wekati kanye nohlobo lwekati elikhulu. Eduze kwamahlosi angamakati amakhulu adla inyama emhlabeni:

Zifinyelela kumasentimitha angu-180 ubude, umsila ulinganisa amasentimitha angu-70 kuya kwangu-100, ukuphakama kwehlombe kungu-75 kuya ku-110 amasentimitha futhi anesisindo esiphakathi kuka-120 no-250 kilogram. Uboya bebhubesi buphuzi ngokuphuzi ukuya kobomvu noma obunsundu ngokumnyama, futhi bukhanya kancane esiswini.

Umsila unoboya futhi unentshakaza emnyama ekugcineni. Isici esingenakuphikwa sabesilisa umhlwenga omkhulu, onombala omnyama kunobunye uboya. Umhlwenga ungaba mnyama-nsundu ukuya kobomvu-nsundu, kodwa futhi nophuzi-nsundu futhi ufinyelele kusukela ezihlathini phezu kwehlombe ukuya esifubeni noma ngisho nasesiswini. Umhlwenga wabesilisa ukhula kuphela lapho sebeneminyaka engaba mihlanu ubudala. Ezinsikazi azinawo ngokuphelele, kanti amabhubesi angamaduna ase-Asia anomhlwenga ongasho lutho.

Aphila kanjani amabhubesi?

Amabhubesi yiwona kuphela amakati amakhulu ahlala ngokuziqhenya. Iphakethe liqukethe owesilisa oyedwa kuya kwabathathu kanye nezinsikazi ezifika ku-20 kanye namaphuphu azo. Iduna elinamandla kunawo wonke ngokuvamile lingabonwa ngomhlwenga omude futhi omnyama. Kubonisa ukuthi umholi wephakethe ufanelekile, unempilo futhi ulungele ukulwa. Umhlwenga cishe uvikela abesilisa ekulimaleni okubangelwa ukulunywa nezidladla ngesikhathi sokulwa.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, amabhubesi ezinsikazi athanda amaduna akhule kahle. Ngokuphambene, amaduna anomhlwenga amancane agwema amabhubesi anomhlwenga ngoba ayazi ukuthi abhekene nezimbangi ezinamandla. Indawo engaphezulu kwephakethe inombango oshisayo: umholi ngokuvamile kufanele anikeze enye ibhubesi leduna ngemva kweminyaka emibili kuya kwemithathu. Ngokuvamile inhloko entsha yephakethe ibulala amawundlu ebhubesi elihluliwe. Ezisikazi zisuke sezilungele ukukhwelana ngokushesha.

Ezinsikazi zivame ukuhlala ephaketheni elifanayo, abesilisa, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kufanele bashiye iphakethe lapho sebevuthiwe ngokocansi. Bakha amaqembu abizwa ngokuthi ama-bachelor nabanye abesilisa, bahambahamba ndawonye futhi bazingele ndawonye. Ekugcineni, owesilisa ngamunye uzama ukunqoba iphakethe lakhe. Indawo yebhubesi ingaba amakhilomitha-skwele angama-20 kuya ku-400 ngobukhulu. Uma izilwane zithola izisulu eziningi, indawo incane; uma bethola ukudla okuncane, kufanele kube kukhudlwana ngokulinganayo.

Indawo imakwe ngendle nomchamo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abesilisa bakhombisa ngokubhonga kwabo ukuthi indawo ngeyabo. Lapho engazingeli, amabhubesi alala futhi alale amahora angaba ngu-20 ngosuku. Ziyizilwane ezikhululekile futhi azikwazi ukugijima isikhathi eside. Nokho, lapho zizingela, zingafinyelela isivinini esifinyelela kumakhilomitha angama-50 ngehora; kodwa abakwazi ukuhambisana nalesi sivinini isikhathi eside.

Ngenxa yokuthi amehlo ebhubesi abheke phambili, izilwane ziyakwazi ukuhlukanisa amabanga kahle kakhulu. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ezilwaneni ezizingelayo eziyozingela. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi amehlo azo, njengawawo wonke amakati, anongqimba olubonisa ukukhanya kuyi-retina, angabona kahle kakhulu ebusuku. Ukuzwa kwabo nakho kuthuthukiswe kahle kakhulu: Ngezindlebe zabo eziguquguqukayo, bangakwazi ukuzwa kahle ukuthi umsindo uvelaphi.
