Amaqiniso athakazelisayo mayelana namakati

Amakati abhekwa njengezilwane ezingaqondakali kakhulu emhlabeni, ezinezindaba ezihlukahlukene kanye nezinganekwane ezihambisana nazo. Abantu bebengabangane nezilwane ezifuywayo ezinoboya iminyaka engaphezu kuka-8000 futhi abakhathali ukuthola amaqiniso amasha mayelana namakati. Ukuze uqonde imikhuba, imvelo kanye nezici zalezi zidalwa ezinomusa, kuyadingeka ukwazi umlando wemvelaphi yazo.

Isizinda somlando

Umndeni wekati wahlukana namanye ama-tetrapods eminyakeni eyizigidi ezingu-40 edlule. Babhekwa njengabameleli abadala kunabo bonke phakathi kwazo zonke izilwane ezincelisayo. Ikati elidala kunawo wonke elifuywayo latholwa eCyprus ethuneni elineminyaka engaphezu kwezinkulungwane eziyi-9,5 ubudala. Ngokuvamile, kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-40 zamakati afuywayo emhlabeni. Impucuko yokuqala eyathambisa lezi zilwane kwakuyiGibhithe Lasendulo. Ikati lithanda ngempela induduzo yasekhaya, ukudla okuqinisekisiwe, kulula ukuba ahlale nomuntu. Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo ihlala izimele futhi ingenakho ukuzithoba.  

Amakati afuywayo ahlala ngokushesha emhlabeni jikelele: aqala ukuhlala eChina naseNdiya eminyakeni engu-500 ngaphambi kwenkathi yethu. Futhi kakade eminyakeni eyi-100 yenkathi yethu, amakati asakazeka kulo lonke elaseYurophu naseRussia, futhi ekhulwini lesi-XNUMX kuphela afinyelela eNyakatho Melika. 

Amaqiniso athakazelisayo mayelana namakati ahlanganisa okulandelayo: eGrisi lasendulo, ayengavamile kakhulu futhi ehlonishwa ngaphezu kwamabhubesi. Kodwa e-Asia, kuze kube namuhla, abantu basebenzisa amakati ukuze badle. Uma eYurophu ephakathi ikati lalibhekwa njengophawu lomlingo omnyama, khona-ke eRussia alikaze lishushiswe ngenxa yokuxhumana kwalo nodeveli. Ikati lesimanje lisenelungelo lokungena ethempelini ngokulingana namakholwa.

Amaqiniso esayensi mayelana namakati

Naphezu kokuthi amakati anamehlo amakhulu avumela ukuba azingele ekukhanyeni okuphansi, lezi zilwane ziyi-myopic. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amakati afuywayo abona kabi, ngokungafani nezihlobo zabo zasemgwaqweni. 

Kodwa bezwa izinto ngamadevu abo futhi, ngokuvamile, banomuzwa omuhle kakhulu wokuhogela. Isibonelo, emlonyeni wekati kunengxenye eyengeziwe ebizwa ngokuthi i-vomeronasal organ. Uyamsiza ukuthi akhombe izinkomba zamakhemikhali ngendawo ahlala kuyo futhi athole “omakhelwane” bakhe. 

Lapho ikati liphuza ubisi noma amanzi, ulimi lwalo lunwebeka ngenani lemitha elingu-1 ngomzuzwana. Futhi ubuso bekhala lakhe buyingqayizivele njengeminwe yomuntu. 

Okumangazayo ukuthi ikati alikwazi ukwehla esihlahleni libheke phansi ngenxa yemishini yezinzipho. Ukuze ehle esihlahleni, uyahlehla, ahlehle. Kodwa ikati ligxuma kakhulu kangangokuthi liyakwazi ukuthatha ubude obudlula ubude bayo izikhathi ezingu-5-6.

Amaqiniso Ekati Athakazelisayo Ezingane

Akuzona kuphela izinja zaseRussia uBelka noStrelka abakwazi ukuvakashela indawo, kodwa futhi nommeleli waseFrance womndeni wekati. Ngo-Okthoba 1963, ikati likaFelicette laphakama laphakama ngamakhilomitha angu-210 ngaphezu komhlaba. Imizuzu eyishumi nanhlanu emkhathini yamenza iqhawekazi lesizwe laseFrance. 

Ngokomlando, umlingo nobuthakathi kungokwemvelo kumakati. Ngakho-ke, bavame ukuba amaqhawe izinganekwane izingane kanye opopayi.
