Izinja zihogela imizwa yakho

Ngokuqinisekile akekho noyedwa kubathandi bezinja ozophikisana neqiniso lokuthi lezi zilwane zizwela ngendlela emangalisayo ekuqapheleni imizwelo yomuntu. Kodwa bakwenza kanjani? Yiqiniso, "bafunda" izimpawu ezincane zolimi lomzimba, kodwa lokhu akuyona ukuphela kwencazelo. Kukhona enye into: izinja aziboni nje ukubonakaliswa kwangaphandle kwemizwelo yomuntu, kodwa futhi ziyiphunga.

Izinja ziyihogela kanjani imizwelo?

Iqiniso liwukuthi izimo ezihlukene zengqondo nezomzimba zishintsha izinga lamahomoni emzimbeni womuntu. Futhi ikhala elibucayi lezinja lizibona kalula lezi zinguquko. Yingakho izinja zikwazi ukubona kalula lapho sidabukile, sisaba noma singaphilile.

Ngendlela, leli khono lezinja lingesinye sezizathu ezenza zibe abelaphi abakhulu. Izinja zisiza abantu ukuthi babhekane nokukhathazeka, ukucindezeleka nezinye izimo ezingemnandi.

Yimiphi imizwa ebonwa kangcono yizinja?

Abacwaningi baseNyuvesi yaseNaples, ikakhulukazi u-Biagio D’Aniello, benze ucwaningo lokucwaninga ukuthi izinja ziyayihogela yini imizwelo yabantu. Ucwaningo lwaluhilela izinja ezingu-40 (i-Golden Retrievers nama-Labradors), kanye nabanikazi bazo.

Abantu bahlukaniswa baba amaqembu amathathu, ngalinye labukiswa ama-video. Iqembu lokuqala laboniswa ividiyo ebangela ukwesaba, elesibili laboniswa ividiyo ehlekisayo, kanti elesithathu laboniswa engathathi hlangothi. Ngemuva kwalokho, ababambiqhaza ocwaningweni banikeze amasampula omjuluko. Futhi izinja zazihogela la masampula phambi kwabanikazi nabangaziwa.

Kuvele ukuthi ukusabela okunamandla ezinjeni kubangelwa iphunga lomjuluko kubantu abethukile. Kulokhu, izinja zabonisa izimpawu zokucindezeleka, njengokukhuphuka kwenhliziyo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinja bezigwema ukubuka abantu ezingabazi, kodwa bezijwayele ukubheka abanikazi bazo.

Isiphetho sososayensi: izinja azizizwa nje ukwesaba abantu, kodwa lokhu kwesaba kudluliselwa kubo. Okusho ukuthi, babonisa ngokucacile uzwela. 

Imiphumela yocwaningo ishicilelwe ku-Animal Cognition (January 2018, Volume 21, Issue 1, pp 67-78).
