Izilwane ezi-10 ezinde kakhulu emhlabeni

Umhlaba wethu wansuku zonke udalwe ngokuphakama okumaphakathi. Ubude bomuntu wesifazane ngokwesilinganiso bungamamitha angu-1,6, kanti abesilisa bangamamitha angu-1,8 ubude. Amakhabethe, izimoto, iminyango konke kuklanywe kucatshangwa ngalezi zilinganiso.

Imvelo, nokho, ayidalelwe izilinganiso. Izinhlobo nezinhlobo zazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ziye zavela phakathi namakhulu eminyaka ukuze zilungele izidingo zazo. Ngakho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi indlulamithi noma ibhere elinsundu, lezi zilwane ziphakeme ngendlela okufanele zibe ngayo.

Le planethi igcwele izidalwa, ezinkulu nezincane, kodwa ungase umangale ukuthi ezinye izilwane zingaba nkulu kangakanani. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi amandla adonsela phansi abambe yonke into, ezinye izidalwa zibonakala ziyinqoba impi yokulwa namandla adonsela phansi futhi zifinyelela ubukhulu obumangalisayo.

Ufuna ukwazi ukuthi yiziphi izilwane ezinde kakhulu emhlabeni? Bese sikwethulela uhlu lwemidondoshiya eyi-10 ephula amarekhodi yomhlaba.

10 Inyathi yase-Afrika, ifinyelela ku-1,8 m

Inyathi yase-Afrika ngezinye izikhathi zidideka nenyathi yaseMelika, kodwa zihluke kakhulu.

Inyathi yase-Afrika inomzimba omude oyisitokisi ongafinyelela ku-998 kg futhi ifinyelele ubude obungamamitha angu-1,8. Njengoba zivame ukuzingelwa, inani labo liyancipha, kodwa kuze kube manje, ngenhlanhla, alikafinyeleli iphuzu elibucayi.

9. Igorila yasempumalanga, ifinyelela ku-1,85 m

I-gorilla yase-Eastern lowlandobeye aziwe njengo i-gorilla Grauera, inkulu kunazo zonke ezinhlotsheni ezine zamagorila. Uhlukaniswa nabanye ngomzimba wakhe oyisidudla, izandla ezinkulu kanye namafinyila amafinyila. Naphezu kobukhulu bawo, ama-gorilla asempumalanga adla ikakhulukazi izithelo nezinye izinto ezinotshani, ezifana nezinye izinhlobo zama-gorilla.

Phakathi nezinxushunxushu eDemocratic Republic of the Congo, ama-gorilla ayesengozini yokuzingela ngokungemthetho, ngisho naseKahuzi-Biega National Park, okuyikhaya labantu abaningi kunawo wonke ama-gorilla asempumalanga avikelekile. Amavukelambuso nabazingeli abangekho emthethweni bagasele kulesi siqiwu abantu batshale izimayini ezingekho emthethweni.

Eminyakeni engu-50 edlule, ububanzi be-gorilla yasempumalanga yehle okungenani ngekota. Izilwane zango-1990 kuphela ezasala endle ekubalweni kwabantu kokugcina phakathi neminyaka engu-16, kodwa ngemva kweminyaka engaphezu kweshumi yokucekelwa phansi kwezindawo zokuhlala nokuhlukana kanye neziyaluyalu zomphakathi, inani lamagorila asempumalanga kungenzeka liye lancipha ngengxenye noma ngaphezulu.

Ama-gorilla amaduna amadala anesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-440 futhi angafinyelela ubude obungamamitha angu-1,85 lapho emi ngemilenze emibili. Ama-gorilla amaduna avuthiwe aziwa ngokuthi "imihlane yesiliva" yezinwele ezimhlophe ezikhula emhlane wawo cishe eminyakeni engu-14 ubudala.

8. Obhejane abamhlophe, abangafika ku-2 m

Iningi (98,8%) obhejane abamhlophe itholakala kuphela emazweni amane: iNingizimu Afrika, Namibia, Zimbabwe kanye neKenya. Amaduna amadala angafinyelela ku-2 wamamitha ubude futhi abe nesisindo samathani angu-3,6. Izinsikazi zincane kakhulu, kodwa zingaba nesisindo esingamathani ayi-1,7. Babodwa obhejane abangekho engcupheni yokushabalala yize beke babhekana nengwadla yokubulawa kwabantu ngokungemthetho kule minyaka edlule.

Ubhejane omhlophe wasenyakatho wake watholakala eningizimu yeChad, eCentral African Republic, eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeSudan, enyakatho yeDemocratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) nasenyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-Uganda.

Nokho, ukuzingela ngokungemthetho kuye kwaholela ekuqothulweni kwazo endle. Futhi manje sekusele abantu abathathu kuphela emhlabeni - bonke basekuthunjweni. Ikusasa lalezi zinhlobo ezincane lifiphele kakhulu.

7. Intshe yase-Afrika, 2,5 m

Izintshe izinyoni ezinkulu ezingandizi ezihlala emazweni angaphezu kwama-25 e-Afrika, okuhlanganisa iZambia neKenya, kanye nengxenyeni esentshonalanga ye-Asia (eTurkey), kodwa zitholakala emhlabeni wonke. Ngezinye izikhathi zikhuliselwa inyama yazo, nakuba abantu basendle bakhona e-Australia.

Ngokwe-African Wildlife Foundation, izintshe azinawo amazinyo, kodwa zinamehlo amakhulu kunawo wonke kunoma yisiphi isilwane sasemhlabeni nobude obumangalisayo obungamamitha angu-2,5!

6. Ikhangaru ebomvu, efika ku-2,7 m

ikhangaru ebomvu idlulela kulo lonke elasentshonalanga namaphakathi ne-Australia. Indawo yayo ihlanganisa izindawo ezinogwadule, izindawo ezinotshani kanye neziwugwadule. Lezi zinhlobo ezincane zivame ukuchuma ezindaweni ezivulekile ezinezihlahla ezimbalwa zomthunzi.

Amakhangaru abomvu ayakwazi ukonga amanzi anele futhi akhethe izimila eziningi ezintsha ukuze aphile ezimweni ezomile. Nakuba ikhangaru idla kakhulu utshani obuluhlaza, ikakhulukazi utshani obusha, iyakwazi ukuthola umswakama owanele ekudleni ngisho noma izitshalo eziningi zibukeka nsundu futhi zomile.

Amakhangaru esilisa akhula abe imitha elilodwa nengxenye ubude, futhi umsila wengeze amanye amamitha angu-1,2 ubude.

5. Ikamela, lifinyelela ku-2,8 m

amakamelaesibizwa Amakamela ase-Arabia, ziyizinhlobo ezinde kunazo zonke ezinhlotsheni zamakamela. Abesilisa bafinyelela ubude obungamamitha ayi-2,8. Futhi nakuba ineqhubu elilodwa kuphela, lelo hump ligcina amaphawundi angu-80 wamafutha (hhayi amanzi!), adingekayo ukuze uthole umsoco owengeziwe wesilwane.

Naphezu kokukhula kwawo okumangalisayo, amakamela amadromedy ashabalala, okungenani endle, kodwa lezi zilwane sezineminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-2000 zikhona. Namuhla, leli kamela liyafuywa, okusho ukuthi lingazulazula endle, kodwa ngokuvamile ngaphansi kweso elibukhali likamalusi.

4. Ibhere elinsundu, 3,4 m

Amabhere ansundu umndeni onezinhlobo eziningi ezingaphansi. Nokho, amabhere ansundu, ngezinye izikhathi abizwa ngokuthi amabhere angama-grizzly, ziphakathi kwezilwane ezidla ezinye ezinkulu emhlabeni. Lapho nje ema ngemilenze yangemuva, afinyelela ubude obungamamitha angu-3,4, kuye ngohlobo lwebhere.

Uma kubhekwa inani lezinhlobo ezincane kanye nohlu lwezindawo zokuhlala - ungathola amabhere ansundu eNyakatho Melika nase-Eurasia - ibhere elinsundu ngokuvamile libhekwa njengeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene Yokugcinwa Kwemvelo (IUCN) Engakhathazeki Kancane, kodwa asekhona amaphakethe athile, ikakhulukazi ngenxa ukubhujiswa. izindawo zokuhlala nokuzingela ngokungemthetho.

3. Indlovu yase-Asia, kuze kufike ku-3,5 m

Indlovu yase-Asia, esifinyelela ubude obungamamitha angu-3,5, iyisilwane esikhulu kunazo zonke sasemhlabeni esiphila e-Asia. Kusukela ngo-1986, indlovu yase-Asia ifakwe ohlwini olusengozini yokushabalala ku-Red Book, njengoba inani labantu lehle okungenani ngamaphesenti angama-50 ezizukulwaneni ezintathu ezedlule (kulinganiselwa eminyakeni engama-60-75). Isongelwa ngokuyinhloko ukulahlekelwa indawo yokuhlala kanye nokucekelwa phansi, ukuhlukana nokuzingela ngokungemthetho.

Indlovu yase-Asia enkulu kunazo zonke eyake yaqoshwa yadutshulwa uMaharaja waseSusanga eGaro Hills yase-Assam, eNdiya, ngo-1924. Yayinesisindo samathani angu-7,7 futhi yayingamamitha angu-3,43 ubude.

2. Indlovu yase-Afrika, kuze kufike ku-4 m

Ngokuyisisekelo Izindlovu Bahlala emathafeni ase-sub-Saharan Africa. Bangaphila iminyaka engama-70, futhi ukuphakama kwabo kufinyelela kumamitha ama-4. Nakuba izindlovu zizalwa emazweni angu-37 ase-Afrika, i-African Wildlife Fund ilinganisela ukuthi sekusele izindlovu ezingaba ngu-415 kuphela emhlabeni.

Cishe u-8% wezindlovu emhlabeni uzingelwa ngokungemthetho minyaka yonke, futhi zizalela kancane - ukukhulelwa kwezindlovu kuthatha izinyanga ezingama-22.

1. Indlulamithi, ifinyelela ku-6 m

Ijubane - isilwane esikhulu kunazo zonke esihlala phansi kanye nezilwane ezincelisayo ezinde kunazo zonke. Izindlulamithi zihlala ezindaweni ezinotshani ezivulekile kanye nama-savannah e-Central, Eastern and Southern Africa. Ziyizilwane zomphakathi futhi zivame ukuhlala emihlambini yabantu abangafika kwabangama-44.

Izici ezihlukile zezindlulamithi zihlanganisa intamo nemilenze ende, nombala wejazi eliyingqayizivele nephethini.

Eyaziwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuthi i-Giraffa camelopardalis, ngokusho kwe-National Geographic, indlulamithi evamile iphakathi kwamamitha angu-4,3 kanye namamitha ayisi-6 ubude. Ukukhula okuningi kwendlulamithi, kunjalo, intamo yayo ende.
