Iigorila zihlala kwiindawo ngeendawo zokuhlala kwaye zinezidlo ezahlukahlukeneyo, nto leyo ebonisa ukuguquguquka kwazo okumangalisayo. Nangona kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeegorila, bonke babelane ngeempawu eziqhelekileyo kunye namasiko. Makhe sihlolisise ezi colossi zendalo.
Imbonakalo kunye neempawu zoMzimba zeeGorila
Iigorila zizilwanyana ezinkulu, kunye namadoda abadala ubunzima phakathi 136 yaye 195 neekhilogram kunye nokulinganisa 1,75 yeemitha ubude ngokomyinge. Iimazi zidla ngokuba zincinci, nangona zisenkulu kakhulu kunezinye iiprimates.
Iigorila zine ipateni yedyasi ezicacileyo, ezinebala leenwele ezikhaphukhaphu emqolo ezithi ziphuhle amadoda njengoko ekhula. Esi siqwenga, esaziwa ngokuba "yisali yesilivere," siya sigqama ngakumbi njengeminyaka yeegorila.
Ukutya Imikhwa yeegorila
Iigorila ikakhulu zizilwanyana ezitya utyani kwaye ukutya kwabo kuqulunqwe ubukhulu becala zizinto zezityalo. Badla yonke into ukusuka kumagqabi, iziqu kunye namahlumela, kwiziqhamo, amakhowa kunye nezinambuzane ezincinci. Ezinye iintlobo zeegorila ziye zabonwa zisitya ubumdaka, ekukholelwa ukuba zinciphisa ityhefu ekutyeni kwazo ezisekelwe kwizityalo.
Ukuziphatha kunye nendlela yokuphila yeegorila
Iigorila zizilwanyana zentlalo kwaye zihlala kumaqela eentsapho ezinoxolo zeprimate zikhokelwa yindoda ephetheyo, ngokuphindaphindiweyo igorila yesiliva. La maqela ayahluka ngokomlinganiselo ukususela kumalungu ambalwa ukusa kwangama-30 okanye ngaphezulu, yaye amaqhina entsapho omelele yaye ahlala ixesha elide.
Los iigorila zinoxolo ngokwendalo, nangona benokuba ndlongondlongo ukuba baziva besongelwa. Baziwa ngokuba namandla nokuba nengcwangu xa igunya labo licelw’ umngeni okanye intsapho yabo isongelwa. Basenokubetha isifuba sabo ngezandla zabo baze bahlasele phambili ukuze boyikise umhlaseli.
Indawo yokuhlala kunye noKwabiwa kweeGorila
Iigorila ziyadibana ubukhulu becala kumahlathi akuMbindi nakwiNtshona Afrika. Ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo oluthile, banokuhlala emahlathini asezintabeni okanye asemazantsi, indawo yokuhlala nganye ibe yodwa ngokwezityalo nezilwanyana.
Owona mngeni ujongene neegorila namhlanje yilahleko yendawo yokuhlala ngenxa yokugawulwa kwamahlathi nokwandiswa kwabantu.
ULondolozo kunye Nezoyikiso kwiiGorila
Iigorila ziintlobo ezikhuselweyo kwaye zidweliswe kuLuhlu oluBomvu lwe-IUCN lweZilwanyana eziseMngciphekweni. Nangona kunjalo, bahlala besongelwa kukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukuzingela ngaphandle kwemvume kunye nezifo.
Iinzame ze ugcino lugxile ekukhuseleni iindawo zokuhlala iigorila kunye nokulawula ukuzingela kunye norhwebo ngenyama gorila ulondolozo lwabo. Likho ithemba ngezi ngxilimbela zithambileyo ukuba sinokuqhubeka sisebenzela ukukhusela ikhaya lazo nekamva lazo.
