Ummandla osemagqagaleni nonomtsalane weTorres Strait, ophakathi kweNew Guinea neQueensland, eOstreliya, kudala uzaliswe ziintsomi neentsomi. Phakathi kwamabali anika umdla athe atsalela abantu balapha kunye nabakhenkethi ngokufanayo yintsokolo yophondo olukhulu olubizwa ngokuba yiKusa Kap. Yathi inamaphiko awothusayo ukuya kuthi ga kwi-22 yeenyawo, esi sidalwa sifihlakeleyo siye sanomdla kwaye sabamangalisa abo badibene naso. Ngoko, yiyiphi inyaniso exhasa intsomi yengxilimbela yophondo lwaseNew Guinea?
Imvelaphi yentsomi yeKusa Kap
Ukukhankanywa kokuqala okubhaliweyo kwe-Kusa Kap kunokulandelwa emva kwisazi sendalo senkulungwane ye-18 uLuigi d'Albertis, okhankanywe nguKarl Shuker kwincwadi yakhe ka-2003 "Amarhamncwa Afihlakele Ebantwini” kwiphepha 168. Kuhlolisiso lwakhe lweTorres Strait, u-d'Albertis wadibana nabemi balapho ababethetha ngengxolo enkulu ehlala kuloo mmandla.
Ngokwendlela abachaza ngayo, le ntaka imangalisayo yayinamaphiko aziimitha ezili-16 ukuya kwezingama-22 ukodlula lee naluphi na uhlobo olwaziwayo lwe<em>hornbill, kuquka i<em>hornbill. enkulu hornbill Indian kwaye i ibhejane hornbill. Ikhono lentaka enkulu ekuthiwa likwazi ukuthwala iidugong kwiinzipho zayo ezoyikekayo zongezelela kwimfihlelo yayo. Abemi bomthonyama bathi isandi samaphiko aso xa sibhabha sasifana nokuduma kwenjini yomphunga, nto leyo eyabangela ukuba kubekho ukumangalisa okumangalisayo kwesi sidalwa singaqhelekanga. Kwiintsomi zabo, abantu bomthonyama bathi "Kusa Kap".
Ukudibana kwe-hornbill enkulu okanye i-Kusa Kap yacatshulwa kuyo Indalo, (Nov. 25, 1875), V. 13, iphe. 76:
Ileta enika umdla ivela kwiDaily News yayizolo evela kuMnu. Smithurst, injineli yesikhephe esiqhube uhambo lokunyuka kumlambo iBaxter eseNew Guinea, ekubhekiselwe kuyo kwintetho kaSir Henry Rawlinson kwiGeographical Society kwiveki ephelileyo. Umlambo ubonakala ungowona mkhulu, kwaye ngokucacileyo unokwenziwa ukuba kuhanjwe kuwo umgama omde phakathi nelizwe. Iqela eliphononongayo lafumanisa ukuba iibhanki zibandakanya ikakhulu imigxobhozo ye-mangrove, nangona, ngasekupheleni kohambo, iibhanki eziphezulu zodongwe ezine-Eucalyptus globulus zafunyanwa. Kunqabile ukuba kubekho abantu bomthonyama ababonwayo, nangona bekusoloko kukho iimpawu zokuba malunga. UMnu Smithurst ubhekisela kwintaka ephawulekayo kakhulu, leyo, ngoku njengoko siyazi, ayizange ichazwe. Abantu bomthonyama bathi inokubhabha nedugong, ikhangaru okanye ufudo olukhulu. UMnu. Smithurst uthi wabona waza wadubula kumzekelo wesi silwanyana simangalisayo, nokuba “ingxolo ebangelwa kukuphaphazela kwamaphiko aso yayifana nesandi sesitimela esitsala uloliwe omde ngokucothayo.” Uthi “yayibonakala imalunga neemitha ezilishumi elinesithandathu okanye ezilishumi elinesibhozo ukunqumla amaphiko njengoko ibhabha, umzimba wayo umdaka ngebala, ibele limhlophe, intamo ende, nomlomo omde uthe nkqo.” Kudongwe oluqinileyo elunxwemeni lomlambo uMnu. Smithurst uthi wabona iinyawo zesilwanyana esikhulu, “esiyinyathi okanye inkomo yasendle,” kodwa akazange abone mkhondo wesilwanyana. Ezi nkcazo ziyamangalisa kakhulu, kwaye ngaphambi kokuba sizingqine bekufanele ukuba silinde ukupapashwa kwengxelo esemthethweni yohambo. Ingqokelela efanelekileyo kakhulu yamatye, amatye, iintaka, izinambuzane, izityalo, i-moss, kunye nee<em>orchids zenziwe, eziya kufakwa kwisazi sendalo ngombono wakhe. Imihla yokunxibelelana kukaMnu Smithurst isuka kwi-30 ka-Agasti ukuya kwi-7 Septemba.Indalo, (Nov. 25, 1875), V. 13, iphe. 76.
I-cryptid hornbill enkulu: Yinyani okanye intsomi?
Ngelixa iingxelo ze-Kusa Kap zinokubonakala zimnandi, ziye zabangela iingxoxo phakathi kwabaphandi kunye nabanomdla. Abanye bathi ukubonwa kwe-hornbill enkulu kunokuba kukutolikwa gwenxa okanye ukugqithisa, njengoko ukuqikelela ubungakanani beentlobo ezingaqhelekanga kunokuba lucelomngeni. Ngokomzekelo, abagcini beepaki baye baphawula ukuba amangqina adla ngokuyicingela ngokugqithiseleyo imilinganiselo yezidalwa ezingaziwayo. Oku kungafani kuqikelelo lobungakanani kunokuchaza ukuba kutheni amaphiko e-Kusa Kap echazwe kwizaziso zokuqala zehla ukusuka kwii-22 iinyawo ukuya kwi-16-18 iinyawo xa umzingeli onamava ezama ukuyidubula.
Isazisi seKusa Kap
Ukukhanyisela ngobuni be-Kusa Kap, kubalulekile ukuqwalasela ezinye iintlobo zeentaka ezihlala kulo mmandla. Olunye uhlobo oluthile oluye lwanxulunyaniswa nelo ntsomi yi<em>red-necked hornbill. Le ntaka inkulu, neyaziwa ngokukhwaza ngendlela eyahlukileyo xa ibhabha, iye yabonwa isenza imisebenzi yokuxhwila iidugong. Ukuziphatha kwe-hornbill enentamo ebomvu, edityaniswe neempawu zayo zomzimba, kukhokelele abaphandi abathile, kuquka i-AC Haddon, ukuba bacinge ukuba ingaba yimpembelelo emva kwentsomi ye-Kusa Kap. Nangona kunjalo, uphando olongezelelweyo kunye nohlalutyo luyafuneka ukuze kuqinisekiswe le ngcamango.
Ibali likaKaudabhi noBhakar
Ngaphakathi kwintsomi enomtsalane yeKusa Kap kukho ibali elibuhlungu lothando, umona, nentlawulelo. Ibali ligxile eKaudab, umzingeli onobuchule wedugong, kunye nenkosikazi yakhe entle, uBakar. Ubomi babo obungathandekiyo buthatha inguqu engalindelekanga xa uGiz, umoya wabasetyhini onobuqili, etyiwa ngumona kwaye azimisele ukulonakalisa ulonwabo lwabo. UGiz, idogai enobuchule bokuguquguquka, itsala uBakar ngaphantsi kwamanzi kwaye imshiye kwisiqithi saseKusar.
Eyedwa kwaye eyedwa, uBakar uphila kwesi siqithi ngokuphila ngembewu kusa. Ngokungummangaliso, uyamitha aze azale isidalwa esimangalisayo—ukhozi. U-Bakar ubiza intaka ethi Kusa Kap, emva kwembewu eyadlala indima ebalulekileyo ekukhawulweni kwakhe. Ngokhathalelo oluzinikeleyo luka-Bakar, uKusa Kap ukhula abe sisidalwa esimangalisayo esinamandla kunye namaphiko okwenza izinto ezingaqhelekanga.
Izenzo zobugorha zikaKusa Kap
Njengoko uKusa Kap ekhula, uqalisa uthotho lweziganeko ezivavanya amandla akhe kwaye zimsondeze ekuhlanganiseni kwakhona uBakar noKaudab. Ukusuka ekuphakameni ukuya kwiindawo eziphakamileyo kunye nokubamba iidugong ukuya ekuboneleleni ngezixhobo eziyimfuneko ukuze umama wakhe aphile, ubugorha bukaKusa Kap bubonisa ukunyaniseka nokuzimisela kwakhe. Ekhokelwa luthando olungagungqiyo kusapho lwakhe, umoya ongagungqiyo kaKusa Kap umkhokelela ekoyiseni ubunzima.
Indima kaGiz kwintsomi
U-Giz, i-dogai ekhohlakeleyo eyenza impindezelo yakhe ku-Kaudab no-Bakar, yongeza umaleko othakazelisayo kwintsomi ye-Kusa Kap. Umona wakhe kunye nomnqweno kaKaudab umqhubela kumanyathelo aqatha, okukhokelela ekuhlukaneni kwesi sibini. Nangona kunjalo, isenzo sokugqibela sikaKusa Kap sobulungisa kunye nempindezelo izisa isiphelo kulawulo loloyiko lukaGiz. Ngokumbamba kunye nokumkhulula kude neDauan, iKusa Kap iqinisekisa ukuba iGiz idibana nokutshatyalaliswa kwayo, iguqulela kwi-Dogail Malu, ulwandle lwe-dogai.
Uqhagamshelwano lukaKusa Kap neNew Guinea
Ngelixa intsomi yaseKusa Kap ngokuyintloko ijikeleza ingingqi yeTorres Strait, kukho ukufana okunomdla okufumaneka eNew Guinea. Njengoko uLuigi d'Albertis ebalisa ibali lale ntaka inkulu, ehlala kufuphi nomlambo i-Mai Kusa. Ukufana kwintsomi yeKusa Kap ayinakuphikiswa, ikhomba unxibelelwano olunokwenzeka phakathi kwezi zimbini. Ukuphononongwa ngakumbi kwala mabali kunokunika ulwazi oluxabisekileyo kwimvelaphi kunye nendalo yezi zidalwa zimangalisayo zeentaka.
Umtsalane “ziipterosaurs eziphilayo”
Umtsalane wentsomi yeKusa Kap yongezwa ngakumbi ngokunxulumana kwayo neepterosaurs eziphilayo. Kwezinye iingxelo kunye nemiboniso, i-Kusa Kap iboniswa njengentaka enamaphiko aneentsiba kunye nomsila onentsiba, okukhumbuza iipterosaurs zamandulo. Olu xhulumaniso phakathi kwe-Kusa Kap kunye ne-pterosaurs luvutha ingcamango kwaye luvutha umdla oqhubekayo kunye nezi zidalwa zentsomi.
Iingcamango zokugqibela
Imfihlakalo ye-hornbill enkulu yaseNew Guinea, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Kusa Kap, iyaqhubeka ukuchulumancisa kwaye ibangela umdla kubantu kwihlabathi liphela. Ukusuka kubukhulu bayo obungaqhelekanga kunye namandla okutyholwa okuthwala iidugong ukuya kunxibelelwano lwazo kwiintsomi zamandulo kunye nembali, iKusa Kap ime njengobungqina bemimangaliso entsonkothileyo ehlala kwihlabathi lethu. Ngelixa inyani ngasemva kwentsomi inokuhlala inqabile, amabali kunye neeakhawunti ezijikeleze i-Kusa Kap zisikhumbuza amandla ahlala ehleli entsomi kunye nokutsala okungapheliyo kokungaziwa.
Emva kokufunda malunga nentsomi engaqondakaliyo ye-Kusa Kap, funda malunga I-Kongamato - i-pterosaur ephilayo eCongo?
