Nharaunda iri kure uye inofadza yeTorres Strait, iri pakati peNew Guinea neQueensland, Australia, yagara yakafukidzwa nengano nengano. Pakati pengano dzinonakidza dzakakwezva vagari venzvimbo uye vafambi zvakafanana pane enigma yehombe hornbill inozivikanwa seKusa Kap. Yakanzi ine mapapiro anoshamisa anosvika 22 tsoka, chisikwa ichi chakavharika chakanakidza uye nekukatyamadza avo vakasangana nacho. Saka, chokwadi ndechipi chiri seri kwengano yehornbill yeNew Guinea?
Kwakabva ngano yeKusa Kap
Kutaurwa kwekutanga kwakanyorwa kweKusa Kap kunogona kuteverwa kumashure kwezana ramakore rechigumi nesere Luigi d'Albertis, anotaurwa naKarl Shuker mubhuku rake ra18 "Mhuka Dzinovanza Kuvanhu” papeji 168. Pakuongorora kwake Torres Strait, d'Albertis akasangana nevanhu vomunzvimbo iyi vaitaura nezverunyanga rukuru rwaigara munharaunda yacho.
Maererano netsanangudzo dzavo, shiri iyi yakanaka kwazvo yaidada nemapapiro akareba mamita 16 kusvika ku22 kupfuura chero rudzi rupi zvarwo runozivikanwa rwehornbill, kusanganisira hornbill huru yeIndia uye rhinoceros hornbill. Kukwanisa kutakura mbira munzara dzayo dzinotyisa kwainzi hombe yeshiri iyi yakawedzera kushamisa kwayo. Vagari vomunzvimbo iyi vaiti kutinhira kwemapapiro ayo pakubhururuka kwakafanana nokutinhira kweinjini inopfungaira, kuchiwedzera kushamisa kwakapoteredza ichi chisikwa chinoshamisa. Mune ngano dzavo, vagari vemo vanoitumidza kuti "Kusa Kap".
Kusangana kwehornbill hombe kana Kusa Kap kwakataurwa mukati Nature, (Nov. 25, 1875), V. 13, p. 76:
Tsamba inonakidza inowanikwa muDaily News nezuro kubva kuna Mr. Smithurst, injiniya wemutyairi akaita rwendo rwekukwira nerwizi rweBaxter ruchangobva kuwanikwa muNew Guinea, rwakataurwa mukero yaSir Henry Rawlinson kuGeographical Society svondo rapfuura. Rwizi rwacho runoratidzika kuva rwakanaka zvikuru, uye sezviri pachena rwaigona kuitwa kuti munhu akwanise kufamba kusvika kure zvikuru mukati menyika. Bato rekuongorora rakawana mabhangi ainyanya kuve nemachakwi emangrove, kunyange zvakadaro, pedyo nekupera kwerwendo, mabhanga evhu akakwirira ane Eucalyptus globulus akawanikwa. Kashoma zvizvarwa zvemo zvakaonekwa, kunyangwe paive nezviratidzo zvekugara kwavo. VaSmithurst vanoreva shiri inoshamisa zvikuru, iyo, sezvatinoziva, haisati yarondedzerwa. Vagari veko vanotaura kuti inogona kubhururuka nedugong, kangaroo, kana kuti kamba huru. VaSmithurst vanoti vakaona uye vakapfura muenzaniso weiyi mhuka inoshamisa, uye kuti “ruzha rwakakonzerwa nokubhururuka kwemapapiro ayo rwakafanana neruzha rwechitima chinodhonza chitima chirefu zvishoma nezvishoma.” Anoti “yaibhururuka nemamita anenge gumi nematanhatu kana kuti gumi nemasere pamapapiro ichibhururuka, muviri wakaita shava, zamu jena, mutsipa wakareba, uye muromo wakareba uye wakatwasuka. Muvhu rakaomarara remumahombekombe erwizi VaSmithurst vanotaura kuti vakaona tsoka dzeimwe mhuka huru, iyo “vakaitora senyati kana kuti nzombe yomusango,” asi havana kuona zviratidzo zvemhuka yacho. Izvi zvirevo zvinoshamisa, uye tisati tazvitenda isu taimirira kuburitswa kwenhoroondo yepamutemo yerwendo. Muunganidzwa wakanyatsonaka wematombo, matombo, shiri, tumbuyu, zvirimwa, moss, uye orchids yakagadzirwa, iyo ichaendeswa kune wezvakasikwa nekuda kwemaonero ake.

Iyo cryptid giant hornbill: Chokwadi kana ngano?
Kunyange nhoroondo dzeKusa Kap dzichiita sedzakanaka, dzakamutsa nharo pakati pevaongorori nevanofarira. Vamwe vanopikisa kuti kuonwa kwehonga hombe kungava kududzira zvisiri izvo kana kuti kuwedzeredza, sezvo kufungidzira ukuru hwemarudzi asingazivikanwi kunogona kuva kwakaoma. Vatariri vePaki, semuenzaniso, vakacherekedza kuti zvapupu zvinowanzo fungira zvimiro zvezvisikwa zvisina kujaira. Kusiyana uku mukuenzanisa kwehukuru kunogona kutsanangura kuti sei mapapiro eKusa Kap akashumwa mune zviziviso zvepakutanga akaderera kubva pamakumbo makumi maviri nemaviri kusvika pa 22-16 tsoka apo muvhimi ane ruzivo akaedza kuipfura.
Identity yeKusa Kap
Kuti tijekese kuzivikanwa kweKusa Kap, zvakakosha kuti titarise dzimwe mhando dzeshiri dzinogara mudunhu iri. Rumwe rudzi rwakabatanidzwa nengano iyi nyanga tsvuku ine mutsipa. Shiri huru iyi, inozivikanwa nokurira kwayo kwakasiyana pakubhururuka, yave ichionekwa ichiita mabasa okubvuta madhadha. Hunhu hwehunyanga dzvuku, hwakasanganiswa nehunhu hwayo, hwakaita kuti vamwe vaongorori, kusanganisira AC Haddon, vafungidzire kuti inogona kunge iri kurudziro kuseri kwengano yeKusa Kap. Nekudaro, kumwe kuferefeta uye kuongorora kunodiwa kusimbisa iyi hypothesis.
Ngano yaKaudabhi naBhakar
Mukati mengano inokwezva yeKusa Kap mune ngano inorwadza yerudo, godo, uye rudzikinuro. Nyaya yacho yakanangana naKaudab, muvhimi ane hunyanzvi hwekuvhima dugong, nemukadzi wake akanaka, Bakar. Hupenyu hwavo husina kunaka hunotora shanduko isingatarisirwe apo Giz, mweya wechikadzi ane hunyengeri, anopindwa negodo uye oronga kukanganisa mufaro wavo. Giz, dogai ane hunyanzvi hwekuchinja, anokwezva Bakar pasi pemvura uye anomusiya pachitsuwa cheKusar.
Ari oga uye ari ega, Bakar anorarama pachitsuwa ichi nekurarama nembeu dzekusa. Nenzira inoshamisa, anova nepamuviri ndokubereka chisikwa chinoshamisa—gondo. Bakar anotumidza shiri iyi kuti Kusa Kap, mushure membeu dzakaita basa rakakosha pakubata kwake. Nekutarisirwa kwakazvipira kwaBakar, Kusa Kap inokura kuita chisikwa chakanakisa chine simba uye mapapiro ekuita zvinoshamisa.
Kusa Kap's heroic exploits
Sezvo Kusa Kap anokura, anotanga nhevedzano yezviitiko zvinoedza kugona kwake uye zvinomuswededza pedyo nekubatanidza Bakar naKaudab. Kubva pakukwira kusvika pakakwirira uye nekubata madugo kusvika pakupa zviwanikwa zvakakosha kuti amai vake vararame, hugamba hwaKusa Kap hunoratidza kutendeka kwake uye kutsunga. Achitungamirirwa nerudo rusingazununguki kumhuri yake, mweya usingazununguki waKusa Kap unomutungamirira mukukunda pamusoro penhamo.
Basa reGiz mungano
Giz, dogai ane hutsinye uyo anotsiva kuKaudab naBakar, anowedzera mutsara unonakidza kune ngano yeKusa Kap. Godo rake uye chishuvo chaKaudab chinomuendesa kumatanho akanyanyisa, zvichikonzera kuparadzana kwevaviri. Nekudaro, chiitiko chekupedzisira cheKusa Kap chekururamisira uye kutsiva chinogumisa kutonga kwehugandanga kwaGiz. Nekumubata nekumusunungura kure neDauan, Kusa Kap inova nechokwadi chekuti Giz anosangana nekufa kwake, achichinja kuita Dogail Malu, gungwa redogai.
Kusa Kap kubatana neNew Guinea
Nepo ngano yeKusa Kap ichinyanya kutenderera dunhu reTorres Strait, kune zvinonakidza kufanana kunowanikwa muNew Guinea. Sezvo Luigi d'Albertis anorondedzera ngano yeshiri hombe iyi, inogara pedyo nerwizi rwaMai Kusa. Kufanana kweiyo Kusa Kap ngano hazvirambike, zvichinongedza hukama hunogona kuitika pakati pezviviri izvi. Kumwe kuongororazve nganonyorwa idzi kunogona kupa muono wakakosha wemabviro nemasikirwo ezvisikwa izvi zveshiri.
Kunakidzwa ne "mhenyu pterosaurs"
Kukwezva kweiyo Kusa Kap ngano kunowedzerwa nekubatanidzwa kwayo nemapterosaurs mhenyu. Mune dzimwe nhoroondo nemifananidzo, Kusa Kap inoratidzwa seshiri ine mapapiro ane minhenga uye muswe une minhenga, inoyeuchidza mapterosaurs ekare. Kubatana uku pakati peKusa Kap nepterosaurs kunopisa fungidziro uye kunopisa kunakidzwa kunoenderera nezvisikwa izvi zvengano.
Final pfungwa
Chakavanzika chehombe hornbill yeNew Guinea, inozivikanwa seKusa Kap, inoramba ichifadza uye nekukatyamadza vanhu kutenderera pasirese. Kubva pakukura kwayo kunoshamisa uye kugona kutakura dugong kuenda kukubatana kwayo nengano dzechinyakare uye lore, iyo Kusa Kap inomira sechipupuriro kune enigmatic zvishamiso zvinogara munyika yedu. Kunyange chokwadi chiri shure kwengano chingaramba chisinganzwisisiki, ngano uye nhoroondo dzakatenderedza Kusa Kap dzinotiyeuchidza nezvesimba risingaperi rengano uye kukwezva kusingagumi kwezvisingazivikanwe.
Mushure mekuverenga nezve isinganzwisisike ngano yeKusa Kap, verenga nezvazvo Kongamato - pterosaur inorarama muCongo?
