Nangona sihlala sidibana neenkamela kunye neentlango zaseMiddle East, zikho izigidi zala maninzi angama-eyedulates ahlala e-Afrika. Ininzi yazo ifumaneka kuMntla Afrika, mhlawumbi kumazwe anjengeYiputa neMorocco engumda we-Sahara Desert; okanye kwiintlanga zeAfrika ezifana ne- Ethiopia ne-Djibouti.
Kukho iintlobo ezintathu zeenkamela ezithe zafunyanwa emhlabeni jikelele, kwaye iintlobo zaseAfrika ziyaziwa ngokugqithiseleyo njenge-dromedary okanye ikamela yase-Arabia.
Nangona ezinye iintlobo zeenkamela zinamahluma amabini, i-dromedary ichongwa ngokulula ngento enye. Ii-Dromedari ziye zenziwe kwikhaya ubuncinane iminyaka engama-4 000, kwaye akusayi kubakho ngokwemvelo kwintlango. Kule minyaka emine edlulileyo, baye baba yinto ebalulekileyo kubantu baseNyakatho Afrika.
Iikamela zisetyenziselwa ukuthutha, kunye nenyama yazo, ubisi, uboya, kunye nesikhumba. Ziyakulungelelaniswa kakuhle kwiindawo ezingenamanzi kwaye ngoko ke zifaneleke ngakumbi kubomi entlango kunezilwanyana zokusebenza eziqhelekileyo ezifana nezimbongolo kunye namahashe. Ukunyamezela kwabo kwenza ukuba okhokho baseNyakatho Afrika bakwazi ukubeka iindlela zokurhweba kwiJaji laseSahara, edibanisa iNtshona Afrika ukuya eNyakatho Afrika.
Ukuzonwabisa ngeCamel Facts
E-Somaliya, iikamela sele zihloniphekile ukuba ulwimi lwaseSomalia luquka amagama angama-46 ahlukeneyo 'ngekamela.' Igama lesiNgesi elithi 'ikamela' licingelwa ukuba liphuma kwigama lesiArabhu elithi Ǧamāl , elibhekisela kumnandi - kwaye ngokwenene, iikamela zichithwa kakhulu, kunye neentsimbi zazo ezide, ezincinci, umoya we-regal, kunye ne-eyelashes engapheliyo.
I-eyelashes yabo idibene kabini kwaye isebenza ngenjongo yokugcina isanti ngaphandle kwamehlo ekamela.
Iikamela zinezinye iindidi ezizodwa ezenza ukuba bakwazi ukuhlala entlango. Bayakwazi ukulawula ukushisa komzimba wabo, ngoko ukunciphisa inani lamanzi abalahlekelwa yi-sweat.
Banokuvala amaqanda abo ngokuthanda, okunciphisa nokulahleka kwamanzi ngelixa bekunceda ukugcina isanti; kwaye banomlinganiselo wokukhawuleza wokufudumala. Iikamela zingaya kwiintsuku ezili-15 ngaphandle kwamanzi.
Xa befumana amanzi, banako ukusela ukuya kuma-lititha ezingama-20 ngomzuzu omnye; Nangona kunjalo, ngokuchasene neenkolelo eziqhelekileyo, abagcini amanzi kwindawo yabo. Esikhundleni saloo ndawo, inkunzi yekamela yenziwe ngamanqatha ahlanzekileyo, apho umzimba wayo unako ukuhambisa amanzi kunye nezondlo njengoko kufuneka. I-hump iyakwandisa indawo yekamele, eyenza kube lula ukusabalalisa ubushushu. Iikamela zikhawuleza ngokukhawuleza, zifikelela kwiiyure ezili-40 ngeyure.
Iikamela njengezothutho
Ukukwazi ukujamelana nama-khamera kusenokubaluleka entlango, apho amaqondo okushisa aphezulu ngaphezu kwe-122 F / 50 C emini kwaye ngokuphindaphindiweyo awela phantsi kweqhwa ebusuku. Ezinye iikamela zisetyenziselwa ukukhwela, ngoncedo lwesiliti esiwela phezu kwendawo. EYiputa, ukugijima kwekamele kukudume umdlalo. Ukukhwela kwekamela kudlalwa ngabakhenkethi, nakwiindawo ezininzi zaseNyakatho Afrika, i-camel safaris yinto ekhangayo.
Ezinye iinkamela zisetyenziswe ngokuyinhloko njengezilwanyana zepakethi, ukuthutha impahla ngaphandle kwabantu. Ngokukodwa, iikamela zisasetyenziselwa ukukhupha iibhloko zeetyuwa ezisuka entlango eMali, nase-Lake Assal yase Djibouti.
Nangona kunjalo, lesi siko esikufa, njengoko iinkamela ziya kutshintshwa ngokunyuka kwiindawo zokuhamba zetyuwa ngeemoto ezine-4x4. Kwamanye amazwe, iikhamera zisetyenziselwa ukutsala imimoya kunye neenqwelo.
Iikhamera zeMveliso
Inyama yekamela, ubisi kunye namaxesha amagazi kubalulekile kwiidlo ezininzi zaseAfrika. Ubisi lwekamela lucebile kwioli kunye neprotheni kwaye luyisisitye esizweni sakwaMntla Afrika. Nangona kunjalo, ukubunjwa kwalo kuhluke kubisi lweenkomo, kwaye kunzima (kodwa akunakwenzeka) ukwenza ibhotela. Eminye imveliso yobisi ifana neqhinga, kodwa i-kelisi ushizi, i-yogurt, kunye ne-tshokoleta ziye zaveliswa ngempumelelo kwiindawo ezithile zehlabathi.
Inyama yekamela idliwa njengento ecocekileyo eNtshona neNtshonalanga Afrika, kunokuba ibe yintsika. Ngokuqhelekileyo, iinkamela zixhelwa ziselula, kuba inyama yeenkamela ezindala zinzima kakhulu.
I-meat from the hump iyathandwa kakhulu kuba umxholo wayo ophezulu uyenzela ithenda. Iimbindi ezinqamkileyo zekamela kunye neenkamela zidliwe eAfrika, ngelixa i-camel burgers iba yinto ecocekileyo kumazwe okuqala ehlabathi njenge-UK ne-Australia.
Ikamela lesikhumba lisetyenziselwa ukwenza izicathulo, i-saddles, ingxowa kunye neebhanti, kodwa ngokuqhelekileyo zibhekwa njengezinga eliphezulu. Izinwele zekamela, ngakolunye uhlangothi, zikhanga ngenxa yokuqhuba kwee-thermal ezisezantsi, ezenza ukuba zilungele ukuvelisa iimpahla ezifudumeleyo, iingubo kunye nemigqomo. Imveliso yeenwele zekamela esizibona ngezinye iWest ngokuqhelekileyo zivela kwikamela yaseBactrian, nangona kunjalo, ezinokuba neenwele ezinde kune-dromedary.
