Imiphi imizwa izinja, amakati, izinhlanzi nama-ferrets eziba nayo ngempela?

Abantu bavame ukudideka mayelana nendlela yokuqonda ukuziphatha kwezilwane ezifuywayo. Ukukhonkotha lapho kufika umuntu ongamazi akusho ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi inja ifuna ukuvikela umniniyo. Futhi uma ikati lizama ukudlula, akulona iqiniso ukuthi alijabule ngawe.

Imibono eyiphutha ivela ngenxa yokuthi ulwazi lomuntu lushintshelwa esilwaneni esifuywayo. Eqinisweni, inja ingase ingakhonkothi ukuze ivikeleke, kodwa ngokwesaba uhlobo olukhudlwana. Futhi ikati lingavele lifune enye indawo efudumele nenethezeke kakhudlwana. 

UCharles Darwin waqala ukukhuluma ngemizwa yezilwane ezifuywayo ngo-1873. Ngemva kweminyaka ecishe ibe yikhulu, ososayensi abazange basithinte lesi sihloko. Sinqume ukuthi singayithinti into okunzima ukuyifakazela okwamanje. Futhi babuyela endabeni yemizwa yezilwane ezifuywayo kuphela ngawo-1980.

Namuhla, izazi zebhayoloji zokuziphatha zihlanganyela ocwaningweni lokuziphatha kwezilwane ezifuywayo. Ngakho, uGeorgia Mason waseCanada ukholelwa ukuthi okunye okuhlangenwe nakho kungokwemvelo ezinhlotsheni ezithile zezilwane. Ucwaningo olusha luyaqinisekisa: i-crayfish ingakhathazeka, izinhlanzi zingahlupheka. Futhi uma uthatha igundane ngomsila, ungamosha isimo sakhe sengqondo usuku lonke.

Ingxenye yocwaningo lokuziphatha kuma-ferrets ifuna ukwazi ikakhulukazi. Izilwane ezifuywayo ngezinsuku ezithile zazinikwa isikhathi esengeziwe sokudlala. Lapho ama-ferret ayengavunyelwe ukudlala, ayeklabalasa futhi alale evule amehlo kaningi, alale futhi ame kancane kunezinsuku lapho edlala isikhathi eside. Lokhu kwanda kokuziphatha okungaphumuli kuphakamisa ukuthi ama-ferrets nawo angabhoreka.

Ukuziphatha okufanayo kungaqashelwa abanikazi bezinja. Isilwane esifuywayo esiye sahamba ngokwanele, sagijima, sadlala ngamathoyizi asithanda kakhulu, siziphatha ngokuzola ekhaya futhi silala isikhathi esinqunyiwe.

Into esemqoka - ungasheshi ukuphetha ngokuthi i-psyche yezilwane ezifuywayo iphinda umuntu. Ngokuphambene nalokho, esikhundleni segama elithi “imizwa” ngokuphathelene nezilwane ezifuywayo, abanye abacwaningi baze basebenzise igama elithi “affect”. Nokho, akubona bonke abacwaningi abadweba umugqa ngokucace kangaka. Isibonelo, ukuziphatha kwezilwane ezifuywayo nge-prism yengqondo yomuntu kuhlolwa nguMichael Mendl waseNyuvesi yaseBristol eNgilandi. Lokhu akakwenzi nje ngentshisekelo yesayensi kuphela, kodwa futhi nokuthuthukisa izidakamizwa zokuphazamiseka okunjengokucindezeleka nokukhathazeka.
