Zibukeka kanjani izimvu?

Izimvu ziyizilwane ezincelisayo futhi, njengezimbuzi, izinkomo nezinyamazane, ziyingxenye yomkhaya we-bovid. Izimvu zasendle zaseYurophu (ezibizwa nangokuthi ama-moufflons) zilinganisa amasentimitha angu-110 kuya kwangu-130 ukusuka ekugcineni kwekhala kuya ekugcineni komsila, zikhula ngamasentimitha angu-65 kuya kwangu-80 ubude futhi zinesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-25 kuya kwangu-55. Izimvu esizifuyile zivela kubo.

Eziduna zibizwa ngokuthi izinqama futhi zikhulu kakhulu futhi zinamandla kunezimvu zensikazi. Abesilisa abaye bathenwa, okungukuthi enziwa inyumba, babizwa ngokuthi ama-muttons. Banokuthula kakhulu kune-Aries futhi bembatha inyama eningi. Izimvu ezincane ezifika ngonyaka owodwa zibizwa ngokuthi amawundlu.

Izimvu eziningi zinezimpondo: Ezimvini zasendle, zimise okwemnenke, zinde futhi zithandelene, noma zibe zifushane futhi zigobe kancane. Zingamasentimitha angama-50 kuye kwayi-190 ubude.

Izimpondo zezinsikazi zincane kanti ezinye izimvu ezifuywayo, kuye ngohlobo lohlobo, ngokuvamile azinazo nhlobo izimpondo. Isici esivamile sezimvu uboya bazo, obugaywa bube yiwuli. Ingaba mhlophe, impunga, ibe nsundu, emnyama, noma ibe nephethini futhi iqukethe ijazi elingaphansi eliminyene, eligoqekile kanye nezinwele eziwugqinsi eziwugqinsile. Uma uboya bucoleka futhi bugoqeke kakhulu, bubaluleke kakhulu.

Uboya bezimvu buzwakala bunamafutha ngempela. Lokhu kuvela ku-lanolin, amafutha akhiqizwa izindlala zesikhumba. Ivikela izinkuni emswakama. Ngisho nasemvuleni enamandla kakhulu, ijazi lezimvu lihlala lilihle futhi lifudumele futhi lomile.

Zihlalaphi izimvu?

Izimvu zasendle zaseYurophu zazivame ukutholakala kusukela eHungary kuya eningizimu yeJalimane nakuso sonke isifunda saseMedithera. Namuhla sekusele izilwane ezingamakhulu ambalwa kuphela eziqhingini zaseCorsica naseSardinia. Izimvu ezifuywayo ezifuywayo zihlala cishe yonke indawo emhlabeni ngoba abeLungu baziyisa kuwo wonke amanye amazwekazi. Iningi lezimvu namuhla lihlala e-Asia, e-Australia, e-Argentina naseNingizimu-ntshonalanga Afrika. EYurophu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, yimihlambi embalwa kuphela yezimvu ezulazula emadlelweni ngoba akufanele neze ufuye izimvu lapha.

Kungaba ama-steppes, ama-heath, noma amathafa aphakeme - izimvu zingatholakala cishe yonke indawo futhi ziyakwazi ukuzwana cishe kunoma iyiphi indawo yokuhlala ngoba azikhethi kakhulu uma kuziwa ekudleni. Ngokuya ngohlobo, zijwayelene kahle nezimo zezulu ezihlukene zomhlaba. Ngisho nasemazweni ashisayo, zikhona izimvu.

Yiziphi izinhlobo zezimvu ezikhona?

Kukhona phakathi kuka-500 no-600 izinhlobo ezahlukene zezimvu emhlabeni jikelele. Phakathi kwezimvu zasendle, izimvu zasendle zaseYurophu ziphakathi kwezaziwa kakhulu. I-argali, efinyelela kumamitha amabili ubude, ukusuka ezintabeni zase-Asia Ephakathi kanye nezimvu ezinkulu ezisenyakatho-mpumalanga yeSiberia naseNyakatho Melika nazo zaziwa.

Izimvu zokuqala zazifuywa e-Asia Minor eminyakeni eyizi-9000 edlule. Namuhla kunezinhlobo eziningi ezihlukene, isibonelo, izimvu ze-Merino, izimvu zasezintabeni, noma i-Heidschnucken. I-Heidschnucke yaziwa kakhulu kithi, ikakhulukazi enyakatho yeJalimane, futhi ukubukeka kwayo kusikhumbuza izimvu zasendle:

Kokubili iduna nezinsikazi zinezimpondo, kanti ezinsikazi zinejika elibheke emuva elimise okwenyanga kuthi eyeduna ibe nophondo olumise okomnenke. Uboya bazo bude futhi buminyene futhi bunombala osiliva-grey ukuya kompunga okumnyama. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uboya ekhanda nasemilenzeni bufushane futhi bumnyama.

Amawundlu e-Heidschnucken azalwa enoboya obumnyama, obugoqene. Ngonyaka wokuqala wokuphila, uboya bushintsha umbala bese buba mpunga. I-Heidschnucken uhlobo oludala lwezimvu futhi aluhlinzeki nje ngoboya, kodwa futhi nenyama.

Zibuye zijwayele ukunakekela indawo ezungezile ngoba zigcina utshani bufushane endaweni futhi ziqinisekisa ukuthi indawo enempilo iyalondolozwa. Namuhla i-Heidschnucken ibhekwa njengesengozini. Zimbalwa izilwane ezisele.

Enyakatho yeJalimane, izimvu ze-Skudden zinakekela indawo. Ziwuhlobo lwasendulo lwezimvu ezifuywayo ezivela emazweni aseBaltic naseMpumalanga Prussia. Izimvu ezi-skadden zikhula zize zibe ngamasentimitha angu-60. Uboya bawo bumhlophe, bunsundu, bumnyama, noma bu-piebald. Izimvu ze-skadden zaziwa ngoboya bazo obuhle. Izimvu ze-Valais black-nosed nazo zingabahlinzeki abahle boboya. Abesilisa baletha amakhilogremu angu-4.5 woboya ngonyaka, abesifazane bafinyelela kumakhilogremu amane.

Lolu hlobo lwasendulo, oluvela esifundeni saseSwitzerland saseValais, cishe selukhona kusukela ngekhulu le-15. Umbala umangalisa kakhulu:

Izilwane zimnyama ngasemakhaleni nasekhaleni futhi zizungeze amehlo. Zibuye zibizwe nge-panda izimvu ngenxa yokuthi zisikhumbuza kancane amabhere e-panda ngale “maski yobuso” edonsa amehlo. Izindlebe nazo zimnyama futhi zinamabala amnyama ezinqeni, emadolweni angaphambili nasezinyaweni. Ezinsikazi nazo zinebala elimnyama lomsila. Izimpondo ezinde uma kuqhathaniswa, ezisontekile nazo ziyahlaba umxhwele. Lolu hlobo luqinile futhi lujwayelene nesimo sezulu esibi sezintaba. Izimvu ezinezimpondo ezine, eziyivelakancane kakhulu lapha, zihlaba umxhwele ngokukhethekile.

Lesi sizukulwane sasendulo cishe sivela e-Asia Minor futhi sekushiwo kakade eBhayibhelini. Babizwa nangokuthi izimvu zikaJakobe. Beza nama-Arabhu bedlula eNyakatho Afrika beya eSpain futhi ukusuka lapho baya eCentral naseNtshonalanga Yurophu. Lolu hlobo ngelezimvu ezinoboya futhi ilona lodwa elinezimpondo ezine, ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nezimpondo eziyisithupha. Ayinasidingo kakhulu futhi ingahlala ngaphandle unyaka wonke.
