Izilwane ezihlanganyela nathi ngeplanethi, zonke eziqaphelayo futhi ezizwelayo futhi ezikwazi ukuzwa ubuhlungu, akufanele ziphathwe ngendlela ehlukile kuye ngokuthi "zihlakaniphe" kangakanani. Njengoba uMark Berkoff ebhala esihlokweni se-Live Science:
Ngihlale ngigcizelela ukuthi ubuhlakani buwumqondo ongacacile, angeke busetshenziselwe ukuhlola ukuhlupheka. Ukuqhathaniswa kwezinhlobo ezihlukahlukene akusizi ngalutho...ngoba abanye abantu baphikisa ngokuthi izilwane okuthiwa zihlakaniphile zihlupheka ngaphezu kwalezo okuthiwa ziyizimungulu - ngakho-ke KULUNGILE ukusebenzisa izinhlobo zamadumber nganoma iyiphi indlela enonya nengenabuntu. Izimangalo ezinjalo azinazo isisekelo esiqinile sesayensi.
Nokho, ukuqonda amakhono engqondo ezinye izidalwa kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile sokufunda ukuzazisa. Ngezansi kunohlu lwezinhlobo eziyisikhombisa ezihlakaniphe kakhulu - ezinye zingakumangaza!
1. Izindlovu
Izindlovu zasendle ziye zabonwa zikhalisa abangani nezihlobo ezifile futhi zize zibangcwabe nasemikhosini efana nemingcwabo yethu. Umdidiyeli wefilimu wezilwane zasendle uJames Honeyborn uthi nakuba “kuyingozi ... ukufaka imizwa yomuntu ezilwaneni, ukudlulisela izici zobuntu kuzo futhi zizenze zibe ubuntu, kuyingozi futhi ukunganaki ingcebo yobufakazi besayensi obuqoqwe emashumini eminyaka okubuka izilwane zasendle. Singase singazi ngokuqondile ukuthi kwenzekani ngaphakathi kwekhanda lendlovu, kodwa kungaba ukugabadela ukukholelwa ukuthi siwukuphela kwezinhlobo ezikwazi ukuzwa ukulahlekelwa nokudabuka.”
2. Amahlengethwa
Sekuyisikhathi eside amahlengethwa aziwa ngokuthi anesimiso sokuxhumana esithuthuke kakhulu phakathi kwezilwane. Abacwaningi bathola ukuthi, ngaphezu kokukwazi ukwenza izibalo, iphethini yemisindo amahlengethwa ayisebenzisayo ukuze axhumane ifana kakhulu nenkulumo yomuntu futhi ingabhekwa “njengolimi.” Ukukhulumisana kwabo okungasho lutho kuhlanganisa ukunqamuka kwemihlathi, ukufuthelana kwamabhamuza, nokuphulula amaphiko. Baze babizane ngamagama abo. Kazi bababiza ngani abantu abalandela ukubulawa kwamahlengethwa eTaiji?
3 Izingulube
Izingulube nazo zaziwa ngobuhlakani bazo. Ukuhlolwa kwekhompyutha okudumile ngeminyaka yawo-1990 kwabonisa ukuthi izingulube zinganyakazisa ikhesa, zidlale imidlalo yevidiyo, futhi zibone imidwebo ezizenzile. UProfesa Donald Broom we-Veterinary Institute yase-University of Cambridge uthi: “Izingulube ziwathuthukise kakhulu amakhono okuqonda. Ingaphezu kwezinja nezingane ezineminyaka emithathu ubudala.” Kuyadabukisa ukuthi abantu abaningi baphatha lezi zilwane njengokudla kuphela.
4. Imfene
Izimfene zingenza futhi zisebenzise amathuluzi futhi zibonise amakhono athuthukile okuxazulula izinkinga. Bangakwazi ukuxhumana nabantu besebenzisa ulimi lwezandla futhi bakhumbule ngisho negama lomuntu abaneminyaka bengamboni. Ocwaningweni lwesayensi lwango-2013, iqembu lezimfene laphumelela ngisho nangabantu ekuhloleni inkumbulo yesikhashana. Futhi kwenza kujabulise nakakhulu ukuzwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezimfene ezindaweni zokucwaninga kuya ngokuya kungavunyelwa.
5. Amajuba
Ephikisa inkulumo evamile ethi “ubuchopho bezinyoni”, amajuba abonisa ikhono lokubala futhi angabamba ngekhanda imithetho yezibalo. USolwazi Shigeru Watanabe wase-Keio University e-Japan wenza ucwaningo ngo-2008 ukuze abone ukuthi amajuba angakwazi yini ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwevidiyo ebukhoma yawo kanye nevidiyo eqoshwe ngaphambilini. Uthi: “Ijuba liyakwazi ukuhlukanisa isithombe salo samanje nalesi esilotshwe emizuzwaneni embalwa ngaphambili, okusho ukuthi amajuba anekhono lokuzazi.” Uthi amakhono abo engqondo ayafana nawengane eneminyaka emithathu.
6. Amahhashi
UDkt. Evelyn Hanggi, umongameli kanye nomsunguli we-Equine Research Foundation, usenesikhathi eside elwela ubuhlakani bamahhashi futhi wenze ucwaningo olunzulu ukuze asekele izimangalo zakhe zokukhumbula nokuqashelwa amahhashi. Uthi: “Uma amakhono okuqonda amahhashi ethathwa kancane noma, ngokuphambene, ebhekwa ngokweqile, khona-ke isimo sengqondo ngawo kumelwe ukuba asilungile. Inhlalakahle yamahhashi ayixhomekile nje ekududuzekeni ngokomzimba, kodwa futhi nasekududuzeni kwengqondo. Ukugcina isilwane esicabangayo endaweni emnyama, esitebeleni esinothuli nokusebenzelana okuncane noma okungekho nhlobo futhi kungabikho isisusa sokucabanga kuyingozi njengokungondleki noma izindlela zokuqeqesha ezinonya.
7. Amakati
Bonke abathandi bekati bayazi ukuthi ikati ngeke liyeke ukufeza umgomo walo. Bavula iminyango ngaphandle kwemvume, bethusa omakhelwane babo bezinja, futhi bahlale bebonisa amakhono ongqondongqondo bomhlaba ongaphansi. Lokhu manje sekwesekelwa izifundo zesayensi ezifakazele ukuthi amakati anamakhono amangalisayo okuzulazula futhi angakwazi ukuzwa izinhlekelele zemvelo kudala ngaphambi kokuba zenzeke.
