Lonesome George - kuphela Ummeleli we lwendlovu engasekho

Kunalabo eplanethini yethu emhlabeni, ukuze uthole ukuthi akulula. Phakathi kwazo kunabafundi Galapagos Islands, ise-Pacific Ocean. Nansi indawo ye-Ecuador. Udumo waziletha ophilayo lapha zezinyoni ezingavamile izilwane nezilwane ezihuquzelayo. Ngokuvakashela leli ekhoneni ezimangalisayo emhlabeni ngo-1835, uCharles Darwin wafika cabanga ukudalwa umsebenzi edumile "The Origin of Species." Ngisho Ngaleso sikhathi, wayesehamba esichaza etholakala kulezi ziqhingi ka izimfudu omkhulu, efana ezitholakala 1972 isifanekiso besilisa, wethiwa Lonesome George.

Ngo-1959, e-Ecuador, ememezela ukusungulwa ku iziQhingi zaseGalapagos National Park. Ngawo lowo nyaka yena wasungula kanye uCharles Darwin Foundation, ekuqaleni bekumele neqhaza okulondolozwa kwendawo yemvelo eyingqayizivele wendawo. Namuhla, ososayensi ucwaningo okuhloswe ngazo ekutadisheni kwezinhlobo zezinyoni ezingavamile yezimila nezilwane ezihlukahlukene ezihlala zaseGalapagos. Lesi sikhwama has a esiteshini ucwaningo kwelinye iziqhingi. Kwagcina wakhe Lonesome George. Ungamangali by igama obungajwayelekile. Igama ufudu kwaba yokudumisa ethandwa umlingisi waseMelika uGeorge Gobel.

Kuze kube muva nje, leli ayebhekwa omele lokugcina zenyathi giant Abingdonskaya endlovu, kodwa ososayensi nocwaningo lwanamuhla luye lwabonisa ukuthi kumelwe iplanethi isesekhona abaphiwe banemikhuba efanayo zofuzo naye.

Kwase kuphele amashumi eminyaka kuleli paki, lapho aqhubeka ngesikhathi Lonesome George, ezama ukuphuma inzalo. cishe kuphumelele esisodwa. Ukuhlala naye izimfudu yezinyoni amaqanda babeka kusukela eyayibonakala achanyuselwa abasha. base ibekwe ku-incubator ne izimo ekahle nokuphepha okungcono. Kodwa imibungu kwakungafanele iphila. Ngokusho ososayensi, amaqanda babe unfertilized.

Nakuba kunenkolelo ikhono nokuzala uhlobo ufudu akaphelelwa phezu 200 iminyaka, kodwa lokhu sikhathi kwakungekho isimangaliso. George Lonesome wafa, kwasala kuphela omele yalolu hlobo.

Kukholakala ukuthi lezi zilwane kwaqedwa eminyakeni mayelana 150 edlule. Imibhalo ka isikhathi abonisa ukuthi abantu balapha uzisebenzisela ukuba yikudla, amatilosi, obiza isiqhingi, babengakwazi lalokhokulunga yokuba adle izibiliboco. Amatilosi ngokuthi izimfudu ziphila okusemathinini, ngoba baye bakwazi isikhathi eside ukuba sigibele ngaphandle ukudla namanzi. Lokhu kwaholela yokuqothulwa yabo njengoba oluthile lwento ephilayo.

Ngeshwa, naphezu sengqondo abaqaphe kakhulu, futhi Lonesome George wafa. Turtle, ngokososayensi, okumenza safinyelela lwethi yayo mlando. Ngokusho kochwepheshe kunenkolelo ukuthi ishone ngezimo zemvelo, futhi ukukwazi ukuhamba inzalo ngemuva hhayi.

On isibonelo lezi zilwane usukela emuva kuze kufike indoda engenangqondo, futhi sinesihluku liziphatha. Phela, ukube bekungengenxa ukuba kuqothulwe ukudla, umbono bangaba khona emhlabeni, futhi kuze kube namuhla, abantu zibabaza nempilo ende yakhe kanye nobungako esivela kuzo zonke izimfudu emhlabeni.
