Izitshalo zeSerengeti National Park

I-Serengeti National Park cishe iyindawo ephakeme yezilwane zasendle Africa. Idume ngokufuduka kwayo kwezinkonkoni, iBig Five, kanye nokugcwala kwezilwane ezizingelayo. Izivakashi eziza eSerengeti zivame ukuhlola izilwane zayo zasendle ezinothile namathafa angapheli. Ukunyakaza kwezilwane zasendle okungokomfanekiso ngokuvamile kudonsa ukunaka kwabo futhi kungase kuziba izinhlobo zezitshalo ezinothile eziphakela izilwane futhi ezinikeza izindawo zokuhlala.

I-flora ye-Serengeti National Park nayo iyamangalisa futhi ifanele ukubhekwa. Izindawo ezinotshani ezisabalele zazihlanganisa utshani obufushane njengotshani be-oat grass kanye notshani beminwe njalo kwenza ukudla okuyisisekelo kwezigidi zezilwane ezidla uhlaza. Kulesi sihloko, sizokhuluma ngezitshalo zaseSerengeti.

Amaglasi

I-Serengeti National Park inamathafa amangalisayo amboze ingxenye enkulu yomhlaba wayo. AmaMaasai aye ahlala nezilwane zasendle eSerengeti. Bemangazwe amathafa amakhulu aqhelelene kakhulu nebanga elibonwa iso, baliqamba ngokuthi “i-siringit” okusho amathafa angapheli. Utshani bumboze lamathafa futhi buphakela izigidi zezilwane ezidla uhlaza.

Izinhlobo ezimbili ezivelele lapha zihlanganisa utshani be-oat obomvu futhi utshani bomunwe. Futhi phakathi nenkathi yemvula, amathafa aseSerengeti aphenduka abe luhlaza esimaradi. Izilwane ezidla uhlaza zijabulela lokhu kudla okumnandi kuyilapho abathwebuli bezithombe abashisekayo bejabulela okwasemuva kwezithombe zabo.

Utshani buwukudla okunikeza ukuphila. Zinamandla nemisoco eyanele, izilwane ezidla utshani ezinjengezinkonkoni, amadube nezinsephe eziphila ngakho. Okuqukethwe komsoco kulobu tshani kuyashintsha ngesikhathi sonyaka kanye nephethini yemvula, okwenza kube nomthelela ekufudukeni kwezilwane ezidla uhlaza.

Inhlabathi yaseSerengeti yavela ekuqhumeni kwentaba-mlilo yasendulo. Ngakho-ke, inothile ngomsoco, futhi ngokuvamile, utshani obunomsoco bukhula kuwo. Imililo yezikhathi ezithile eshanela yonke indawo ikhuthaza ukukhula okusha ngokushisa izinto ezifile nezibolayo. Lokhu kuvimbela ukunqwabelana kotshani obuningi, okuyikhaya lezinambuzane nezifo.

Izihlahla

I-Serengeti igcwele utshani. Kodwa kunenqwaba yezihlahla. Izihlahla ezivame kakhulu zihlanganisa umtholo, amasoseji, amakhiwane, amasundu asendle nokunye okuningi. Ake sibheke izihlahla ezivamile eSerengeti.

• Izihlahla zomtholo

Izihlahla zomtholo zivame kakhulu eSerengeti. Banemiqhele emikhulu, eyisicaba. Ama-acacias ngokuvamile awusizo ezinhlobonhlobo zezilwane. Izindlulamithi ezinezintamo ezinde zidla amaqabunga. Amabhubesi avame ukuphumula ngaphansi komthunzi wezihlahla zomtholo kanjalo nezingwe. Izindlovu zase-Afrika nazo zithatha ukudla kwazo kulesi sihlahla. Ama-pods angumthombo omkhulu wokudla kwezilwane ezidla uhlaza.

Umtholo uwukudla okuyintandokazi ezilwaneni eziningi ezidla uhlaza. Ngenxa yalokhu, bakha izindlela zokuzivikela ezihlakaniphile ezilwaneni ezidla uhlaza. Lapho izindlulamithi noma ezinye izilwane zipheqa amaqabunga azo, zingakhipha izimpawu zamakhemikhali futhi zazise omakhelwane bazo. Khona-ke, isihlahla sikamakhelwane siqala ukukhiqiza ama-tannins amaningi okwenza amaqabunga angabi mnandi ezilwaneni ezidla uhlaza. Lokhu kujwayela okumangalisayo kwenze umtholo wagqama ezindaweni ezinokhahlo njengeSerengeti National Park.

• Izihlahla Zomkhiwane

Izihlahla zamakhiwane ziningi naseSerengeti. Zivamile eduze nemithombo yamanzi njengemifula nemifudlana. Zikhula nasezindaweni ezomile. Izilwane ezihlukahlukene zidla amakhiwane kuyilapho ezinye, ikakhulukazi ezincane zithola indawo yokuhlala. Izithelo zabo zinoshukela omningi namaprotheni. Izinyoni eziningi, izinambuzane, nezilwane ezincelisayo njengezindlovu nezinkawu zidla izithelo zazo. Lokhu kunenzuzo ekusindeni kwazo njengoba imbewu yazo isabalele endaweni enkulu okwenza ibe inala.

• Izihlahla zamasoseji

Izihlahla zesoseji zivamile osebeni lomfula owomile njengaseSeronera, Grumeti, neminye imifula. Zingatholakala nasezindaweni ezivulekile zehlathi kanye nemifudlana. Bakhiqiza isithelo esinoshevu. Izilwane azilidli, ngakho, liyawa futhi libole likhipha imbewu. Lesi sithelo singamasentimitha angama-60 ubude futhi sivame ukuphutha nomsila wengwe.

• Izihlahla ze-Comephorid

I-comephorid (noma isihlahla semure) ngesinye isihlahla esivamile eSerengeti, ikakhulukazi emadwaleni asematsheni asempumalanga. Inesici segxolo elixebukayo libe yizingqimba ezincanyana, ngokuvamile ezimpunga ukuya kokubomvu-nsundu.

Izithelo ze-comephorid zidliwa yizinyoni. Futhi yaziwa kakhulu ngezithelo zayo namaqabunga, anemisebenzi eminingi yokwelapha. Lezi zihlahla zingaphila ngaphansi kwesimo sezulu esibi. Amagxolo awo aminyene axebukayo ayazivikela ekushiseni okwedlulele nasemoyeni owomile. Izimpande ezinkulu zibasiza ukuthi bathole amanzi emhlabathini ngisho nangezinyanga ezomile.

• I-Wild Date Palms

Ngenkathi useSerengeti, ikakhulukazi eduze kwamaxhaphozi nemifula, ungase ubone isundu sasendle. Ingenye yezingxenye ezingavamile kodwa ezibalulekile ze- I-ecosystem ye-Serengeti. Izilwane eziningi zithanda ukuphumula phezu kwalezi zihlahla ezinhle.

Izithelo zabo ezifana nedethi ziwukudla okunomsoco ezilwaneni eziningi. Zinezimpande ezijulile ezivumela ukuthi zifinyelele amanzi ekujuleni komhlabathi, ikakhulukazi ngenkathi eyomile. Iziqu zezihlahla zesundu eziwugqinsi nezigcwele imicu zivikela ezilwaneni ezidla uhlaza nasemililweni.

• Umkhwelo ameva

Ameva omkhwelo avamile eSerengeti. Ziyachuma ezindaweni lapho kunamanzi amaningi. Ameva azo ayizigodi ezisekelweni zawo. Lapho umoya uvunguza, kuzwakala umsindo wekhwela.

Lezi zihlahla zijwayele ukugwema izilwane ezidla uhlaza njengezindlovu. Okokuqala, izimpondo zabo ziba buhlungu lapho zihlaba izilwane ezidla uhlaza. Ikhala lameva elingenalutho lamukela izintuthwane ezilumayo. Lezi zinambuzane zithola ukudla esihlahleni futhi ngokubuyisela, zivikela isihlahla ekudlweni izilwane ezidla uhlaza Ezinye izihlahla eziphawulekayo zihlanganisa izihlahla ze-yellow fever, izambulela, iCommiphora, nezinye eziningi. I-Serengeti inoqwembe olumangalisayo lwezitshalo ezihlanganisa izinhlobonhlobo zezihlahla, amakhambi, nezimbali zasendle
