Ukufunda indlela yokulandelela izilwanyana kwi-safari kukuzonwabisa kakhulu. Unyana wam omncinci usandul 'ufunde ukubala ubude bendlovu esekelwe kwinqanaba layo kwisanti. Wayefundiswa indlela yokuqonda i- ingwe yenkomo yokunyathelisa, evela kwengonyama , nokukwazi ukuba yiyiphi i-hyena ehamba kuyo, emva kweeyure ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba senzeke kuloo ndawo. Wafunda nokuba kukuzonwabisa kangakanani ukujonga izilwanyana zezilwanyana kwizinto ezithathayo, kuba kutheni nini kwaye njani kwinqaba.
Kule minyaka, ndifumene ukuba usapho lwentsapho aluphelelanga ngaphandle kokujonga ngokuthe ngqo kwidumbu lezilwanyana. Ukuzama ukuthabatha i-"scat-action shot" ngenye indlela efanelekileyo yokunwabela i-safari drive kunye nabantwana abancinci. Siye safunda umgqomo obomhlophe obomhlophe kwaye saqaphela umehluko phakathi kwaloo mbhobho obomvu obomnyama. Siye sagxininiswa ngephunga lekratshi elibukeka libububuhle kunye neengonyama zabo, i-poop yabo ayifani nje imnandi. Yaye ixhamla ngelixa ivubu lanciphisa umquba wayo ngokuncinci kakhulu.
Kweminye i-safaris, unako ukuhlangabezana nesilwanyana phambi kwezilwanyana ngokwawo, nantsi iimbali ezimbalwa ezikhangayo ukukunceda uqhagamshelane nezidalwa zasendle ezikujikelezayo:
I-Hippo Dung:
Yintoni ebonisa ukutshisa ? Yiyiphi iimbabu ezenzayo ukuphawula imimandla yazo kwaye zilumkise izidumbu okanye izigwenxa. Amanye amabhinqa esityikitya samanzi ukubonisa ukungeniswa. Ngokuyinhloko badulela inani elincinci lomgquba kunye nomchamo ngaphandle kweemiphelo zabo zangaphambili baze bawubethe imisila yabo ukuba bayifake.
Imvubu ekhulile ikhupha i-60 lbs (27kg) yerhafu emlambo okanye echibini apho ehlala khona imihla ngemihla. Isitya sokunambitha sinomtsalane ngokuvakalayo njengoko kungenasiphelo. Ngenxa yemali enkulu imvu iyadla kwaye ngenxa yoko iyakubamba indima ebalulekileyo ekugcineni i-plankton, iimbongolo (kwaye ngoko ke intlanzi), iphila kwaye iphelile.
Ucoceko lweHyena:
Umswakama we-Hyena umhlophe (xa usomile) ngenxa yemali eninzi ye-calcium iyadla xa iqoqa amathambo ayo abulalayo. Iqela labaphengululi abacubungula umqolomba oseduze neGoli, eMzantsi Afrika, bafumanisa ubunwele bantlanu ubuncinane obungama-200 000 ubudala kwiminyaka engama-190,000.
I-Crocodile Poop:
AmaYiputa aseMandulo asebenzisa umquba wengwenya njengendlela yokuqala yolawulo lokuzalwa. Iinkcazo zonyango ezibhalwe kwi-papyrus eqala ngo-1850 BC ngokucacileyo ziqinisekisa ukuba ingwenya ingumlenze oyintloko ekunciphiseni ukuzala komfazi.
Indlovu Inombolo 2:
Unokwenza iphepha kwi-elephant dung - khangela le venkile kwi-intanethi ukuba ungathanda ukuthenga. Kubonakala ukuba ayiphunga. Kwakhona kuncedo ekudaleni ubugcisa; Umculi we-Turner Prize umculi ophumeleleyo uChris Ofili wasebenzisa indwangu yeendlovu kuyo yonke imifanekiso yakhe yokupenda (kwaye wawina i-$ 30,000).
I-Lion Stool:
Ubunene beengonyama ezisetyenziselwa kule mveliso enhle ebizwa ngokuthi "ukugquma okulumkileyo" okusobala ukuba igxotha iikati. Andiqinisekanga ukuba uza kuqinisekisa njani ubuqiniso bayo kodwa ngokungathandabuzekiyo inomsindo ongathandekiyo.
Rhino Doodie:
Ingqungquthela yaseRhin ibe yintengiso kwi-e-bay ngeqela elilondolozo lwamazwe ngamazwe elisebenzayo ukugcina le nto yezilwanyana ezingabonakaliyo ekupheleni.
Iziqulatho ezine zithengiswa ngo-2007
ngaphantsi kwebhanki "Thenga izinto ezinobungozi ekuKhuseleni iintlobo zeeNtshontsho".
Iigufi
Iigirafes zikhupha i-poo-like poo kwaye ekubeni ziwa ukusuka ekuphakameni okukhulu, ziyahlakaza kwimpembelelo. Kubonakala ukuba, benza amathoyizi amnandi. Ngokufanayo mhlawumbi ukuya kwi-Impala i-pellets, endiyibeke yona emlonyeni wam ukuba ndibone ukuba ndibaphithile kangakanani .... izikhokelo ze-safari zilonwaba lo mdlalo ...
