Ama-gorilla ayizinkawu ezinkulu futhi ezinamandla, ngakho-ke kuyathakazelisa ukwazi ukuthi ama-gorilla adlani okwenza abe nomthethosisekelo ongokomzimba omangalisayo. Ngokuvamile, ziyizilwane ezidla uhlaza ngokwemvelo futhi ngezikhathi ezithile, zidla intuthwane. Nokho, uma ufuna ukwazi okwengeziwe ngalesi sihloko, sikumema ukuthi uqhubeke ufunda lesi sihloko esithakazelisayo.
Adlani ama-gorilla endaweni yawo yemvelo?
Ama-gorilla asezimweni eziningi futhi ngokusho kwenani elikhulu lezifundo, izilwane ezidla uhlaza, ezidla cishe noma yiluphi uhlobo lwezinto zezitshalo njengengxenye eyisisekelo yokudla kwazo. Lokhu kungahlanganisa zonke izinhlobo zamaqabunga, iziqu, izimpande, amanye amagatsha amancane, kanye nemiqumbe, amagxolo esihlahla, ngisho nembewu nezithelo zezitshalo. Ukwengeza, baziwa ngokuthanda ukudla inani elikhulu lezintuthwane kanye nomuhlwa. Nakuba, ngezinye izikhathi bavame ukubonakala bedla ukungcola nomlotha, ochwepheshe abacabanga ukuthi kusiza isimiso sabo sokugaya ukudla.
Badlani ezu?
Badlani lapha? Empeleni, unokudla okunempilo nokulinganiselayo, okuvame ukufaka izinto ezilandelayo: ingxenye yezithelo ezimele u-10%, imifino eluhlaza engaphezulu noma engaphansi kwesigamu sengqikithi, ezinye izinhlobo zemifino ezihluka cishe ngo-20% , ngaphezu kwengxenye ehlanganisa u-15% wamakhukhi anenani eliphezulu lokudla okunomsoco ku-fiber. Ngokuvamile, le mingcele ingashintshwa kuye ngesimo se-primate. Ngokulandelayo, bavame ukunikezwa amaqanda namantongomane, futhi ukuphuza banikezwa itiye le-herbal, umoba futhi yiqiniso, amanzi ahlanzekile.
Izinhlobo Izitshalo Gorilla Yidla
Njengoba kungezona zonke izinhlobo zalezi zilwane ezihlala endaweni eyodwa, izimila ezizidlayo zingahlukahluka kakhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ama-gorilla asentshonalanga adla ukudla okunefiber ephezulu okuhlanganisa ikakhulukazi izimbali, izithelo, izintuthwane, ngisho nomlotha. Kunalokho, abantu baseMpumalanga bahlala ezindaweni eziphakeme emahlathini asezintabeni nase-submontane empumalanga emaphakathi ne-Afrika, lapho izithelo zitholakala yonke indawo. Izithelo zomkhakha we-Dialium, i-Landolphia, i-Chrysophyllum, ne-Tetrapleura zakha ingxenye enkulu yokudla kwama-gorilla uma etholakala ngobuningi.
Uma izithelo zingatholakali ngokwanele, zidla uhlaza olunezinkuni ezisezingeni eliphansi kanye namakhambi. Ngenkathi eyomile, idla leyo enemicu eyengeziwe njengamagxolo namaqabunga e-Aframomum ne-Palisota. Ngokusekelwe eziphakamisweni ezenziwe ngesisekelo socwaningo lwemithi kanye ne-ethnographic, ukudla okuqondile (okufana nembewu equkethe i-caffeine nezithelo zezinhlobo eziningi ze-Cola) okudliwa ama-gorilla kungase kube nenani lokwelapha.
Zidlani baby gorilla?
Ama-gorilla ayizilwane ezincelisayo futhi zondla izingane zawo ngobisi lwebele. Ngalesi sizathu, zithembele kuphela ekudleni komama bazo ezinyangeni ezinhlanu zokuqala zokuphila. Ukwengeza, zaziwa ukuthi zondliwa okungenani kanye ngehora. Ngemva kwezinyanga ezishiwo, izingane ziqala ukudla uhlaza oluthile. Nokho, umama uzoqhubeka ezondla ezinyangeni ezizayo eziyi-18 kuya kwezingu-20, njalo ngemva kwamahora amabili. Lokhu kuncika kumama kuzophela eneminyaka eyisi-6.
Ingabe gorilla adle ezinye izinkawu?
Izilwane ezidla inyama ngezinye izikhathi zingalingwa yisiteki, ngakho ngokocwaningo lwakamuva, akuvamile ukuthi lezi zilwane zinqotshwe ngendlela efanayo. Nakuba ezinye izibonelo ze-zoo zaziwa ukuthi zidla inyama, ama-gorilla asendle adla izitshalo nezithelo kuphela, futhi ngezinye izikhathi izinambuzane. Nokho, i-DNA yezinkawu nezinyamazane ezincane isanda kutholakala endle yalezi zilwane ezivela ezindaweni eziphansi ezisentshonalanga ye-Afrika. Ukutholwa kuvula ithuba lokuthi ama-gorilla anomkhuba wokugoba indololwane noma ukuzingela ngobuhlakani.
Ingabe Gorilla adle izinambuzane ezincelisayo udle?
Kungase kube nezincazelo ezengeziwe ezivamile mayelana nokutholakele okumangazayo, izincazelo okufanele zikhishwe ngaphambi kokuthi ama-gorilla aphinde abekwe njengezilwane ezidla inyama, kusho omunye umbhali ocwaningayo uGrit Schubert, isazi sezilwane ezifuywayo eMax Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology eLeipzig, eJalimane. Ngokwesibonelo, ama-gorilla aziwa ngokudla izintuthwane ezidla izidumbu namathambo ezinkawu nezinye izilwane ezincelisayo. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, bangase futhi badle, bese bexosha, i-DNA yezilwane ezincelisayo emgudwini wabo wokugaya, abalobi bocwaningo bayaqagela.
Okunye okungenzeka ukuthi i-DNA yesilwane esincelisayo yavela ezimfeneni eziphilayo ebezikade zihlola indle ye-gorilla ukuze zithole imbewu edliwayo noma ezinye izinsalela zezitshalo. Kodwa-ke, uma konke lokhu bekuyiqiniso, ngokomthetho bekungeke kube yizinkawu ezinkulu zokuqala ukwenza lokho. Izimfene kanye nabazala bazo bonobo baziwa ngokuzingela nokudla ezinye izilwane ezincelisayo, kuhlanganise nezinkawu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, "izilwane eziningi ezidla uhlaza ziyakwazi ukugaya inyama kahle," kusho omunye umbhali wocwaningo uMichael Hofrieter, isazi sofuzo futhi e-Max Planck Institute.
Uma usithandile lesi sihloko mayelana nokuthi ama-gorilla adlani futhi ufuna ukufunda okwengeziwe ngezinye izihloko ezithakazelisayo, ungabheka izixhumanisi ezilandelayo:
