Amadada ayizinyoni ezinkulu. Ziyakwazi ukubhukuda kahle futhi indizele kude. Ezilwaneni eziningi ezindala, izimpaphe zimhlophe qwa. Ezinganeni impunga ngokunsundu.
Kuye ngokubalwa kwabantu, kunezinhlobo eziyisikhombisa noma eziyisishiyagalombili ezihlukene zamadada. Amadada ahlobene eduze namadada namahansi. Lapha eYurophu Ephakathi sihlangana kakhulu nedada eliyisimungulu.
Idada eliyisimungulu lihlala lapho lingashisi kakhulu futhi lingabanda kakhulu. Sivame ukuyithola emanzini ethu. Enyakatho ekude, e-arctic tundra, ezinye izinhlobo ezine zizalela ehlobo. Bachitha ubusika endaweni efudumele eningizimu. Ngakho ziyizinyoni ezifudukayo. Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zezinhlobo eziseningizimu yezwe nazo ezibukeka zikhethekile: idada elimnyama yilona kuphela elimnyama ngokuphelele. Igama ledada elimnyama lichaza ukuthi libukeka kanjani.
Amadada anezintamo ezinde kunamahansi. Lokhu kuzivumela ukuthi zidle izitshalo ezivela phansi emthonjeni lapho zintanta emanzini. Lolu hlobo lokudla lubizwa ngokuthi “ukumba”. Amaphiko azo angelula ngaphezu kwamamitha amabili. Isisindo se-swans sifinyelela ku-14 kilogram.
Amadada ancamela ukudla izitshalo emanzini. Kodwa futhi zidla izitshalo zasemakhaya. Kukhona futhi izinambuzane ezimbalwa zasemanzini, kanye nezinambuzane ezinjengeminenke, izinhlanzi ezincane, nezilwane ezihlala emanzini.
Azala kanjani amadada?
Abazali ababili bahlala bethembekile kubo impilo yabo yonke. Kubizwa nge-monogamy. Zakha isidleke samaqanda, azisebenzisa ngokuphindaphindiwe. Eyeduna iqoqa amagatsha iwanikeze insikazi, yona ewasebenzisa ukwakha isidleke. Yonke into engaphakathi ixutshwe nezitshalo ezithambile. Khona-ke insikazi ikhipha ingxenye yayo phansi. Ngakho-ke idinga izimpaphe zayo ezithambile ukuze i-padding.
Ezinsikazi eziningi zizalela amaqanda amane kuya kwayisithupha, kodwa angaba neshumi nanye. Insikazi ifukamela amaqanda iyodwa. Eyeduna kuphela isiza ngedada elimnyama. Isikhathi se-incubation cishe amasonto ayisithupha. Bobabili abazali babe sebekhulisa ingane. Kwesinye isikhathi bagigiyela abafana emihlane yabo.
