Indawo lapho kunezilwane eziningi ezidla ezinye. Ngakho-ke, amadube, njengazo zonke izinhlobo ze-equine, ayizilwane ezizingelayo kodwa asethuthuke ehlane kakhulu kunamahhashi nezimbongolo, izihlobo zawo eziseduze. Lapho zihlaselwa izilwane ezidla ezinye njengamabhubesi, izingulule noma izimpisi, zizivikela ngamazinyo nezinselo.
Ingabe amahhashi namadube angakhwelana?
Yilokho okubizwa ngokuthi ama-hybrids edube nehhashi. Ngoba uyise wethole elincane elinamabala amhlophe uyihhashi. Ngenxa yokuthi amahhashi namadube kuhlobene eduze, angaba nabantwana ndawonye, njengezimbongolo namahhashi.
Sibizwa ngani isiphambano phakathi kwedube nehhashi?
I-Zorse (i-portmanteau yedube nehhashi) ibhekisela ngokuqondile esiphambanweni phakathi kwehhashi nedube, ngokuvamile elifana kakhulu nehhashi kunedube.
Ingabe amahhashi nezimbongolo zingakhwelana?
Izinhlobo ezihlukene phakathi kwamahhashi nezimbongolo zivame ukubizwa ngokuthi iminyuzi. Uma sikhuluma nje, lezi izinhlobo ezimbili ezihlukene: umnyuzi - isiphambano phakathi kwembongolo nensikazi yehhashi - kanye nehinny - isiphambano phakathi kwehhashi nembongolo.
Ungakwazi yini ukuba nedube njengesilwane esifuywayo?
Mayelana nokuqina, amadube nawo ahambisana namaponi futhi angagcinwa kalula esitebeleni esivulekile. Noma kunjalo, anolaka kakhulu futhi anokhahlo kunehhashi lapho esebenza nawo futhi aphendula ngokushesha umbani. Ngakho-ke abantu abakhathazekile akufanele bagcine idube!
Lidlani idube?
Zidla isamba sezinhlobo ezingama-23 zotshani, kodwa ezizithandayo utshani obumnandi. Idube lasezintabeni lithanda izitshalo ezinamahlamvu amade futhi ezinoshukela, kodwa lithanda utshani obumnandi njengedube lamathafa. Ngaphezu kotshani, idube leGrevy lidla nemifino, amahlamvu, amagatsha nezimbali.
Inyama yedube ivelaphi?
Iluphi uhlobo lwedube lwenyama eqandisiwe e-Netto alubhalwanga ephaketheni. Nokho, umuntu angacabanga ukuthi yidube lamathafa. Umkhiqizi ungenisa inyama evela eNingizimu Afrika, lapho lolu hlobo luvame kakhulu khona. Idube likaGrevy lihlala eKenya nase-Ethiopia kuphela.
Linambitha kanjani idube?
Isici singaphezu kwakho konke ukunambitheka okunamandla kakhulu futhi okubabayo, okukhumbuza kakhulu inyama yenkomo. Ngezinye izikhathi kukhulunywa ngama-flavour afana nezinkabi noma izinyamazane.
Kanye nehhashi lasendle (okwakufuywa kulo ihhashi elifuywayo), imbongolo yase-Afrika (lapho kwehla khona imbongolo yasekhaya), imbongolo yase-Asia kanye ne-kiang, lezi zinhlobo ezintathu zamadube zakha uhlobo kanye nomndeni wamahhashi (Equidae, Equus) .
Imbongolo yavela kanjani?
Imbongolo ikhulelwa cishe izinyanga eziyishumi nambili ngaphambi kokuba izale ithole. Ingane encane iyakwazi ukuhamba ngokushesha futhi incela unina izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili. Izimbongolo zasendle zihlala ezindaweni eziwugwadule, njengezingwadule ezinamatshe asezintabeni zaseNyakatho Afrika. Izimbongolo zingaphila iminyaka engaba ngu-50.
Kungani amadube ebukeka kanje?
Bathola ukuthi imivimbo ivikela ngempela amadube kubahlaseli. Isibonelo samabhubesi, athanda ukudla inyama yedube, kanye nezimpukane ze-tsetse, ezihlaba amadube futhi zimunce igazi lawo.
Idube linama-chromosome amangaki?
Isizathu: inani lama-chromosome aqukethe ulwazi lofuzo alifani. Amahhashi anama-chromosome angu-64, izimbongolo zinangu-62, kanti amadube anangu-44.
