Lapho abantu bacabanga ngepukane lesilwane , bavame ukufanekisa isikhunta esibomvu noma mhlawumbe isikhunta esincane se- fennec . Kodwa ngokuhamba kweminyaka uhlobo olusha lwesikhumba sezilwane selungulwe. I-fox efuywayo yakhulelwa esikhungweni saseRussia ngaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi eminyaka yokuzalanisa futhi yayijwayele ukutholakala kuphela nge-Las Vegas distributor ebizwa ngokuthi iSibFox. Inqubo yokuthenga enye yalezi zimpungushe ezingavamile kusukela manje ibe yilapho eqondile futhi iSibFox ayisekho ukuphatha ukuthengisa.
SibFox
I-Las Vegas, i-Nevada esekelwe inkampani eyasebenza njengomxhumanisi nokusabalalisa izimpungushe zezilwane zaseSiberia ezazibizwa ngokuthi iSibFox. USibFox wasakaza izimpungushe zabo ezivela e-Institute of Cytology and Genetics eNovosibirsk, eRussia futhi kuthiwa yizikhulu ezisemthethweni ze-fox yaseSiberia.
Le nkampani yayinamalungu eqembu elikhuluma isiRashiya futhi lasebenza ngokuqondile epulazini le-fox eRussia ukuze lisakaze izimpungushe ezindlini zaseNyakatho Melika lapho zathengiswa khona ngezinkulungwane zamaRandi njengezilwane ezifuywayo. Abanye abantu bakhononda ngenkampani, bethi babengakaze bathole izimpungushe zabo noma intengo yayiyizinkathazo ezimpukeni. Babizwa ngokuthi ugwetshwe ngabantu abaningi. Inhloso eyinhloko yeSibFox kwakuwukusingatha izidingo ezahlukene zelayisensi zikahulumeni kanye nokukhokhisa izinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane zamaRandi ngaphezu kokuthenga ngokuqondile epulazini ngezinsizakalo zabo. Kuthiwa kunzima kakhulu ukungenisa isikhunta saseRussia emazweni futhi iSibFox kwakufanele ukusize sidlule kulolo tape obomvu.
USibFox kwakudingeka athenge izimpungushe ezimnyama zaseSiberia (ezaziwa nangokuthi izimpungushe zesiliva noma ukuhlolwa kukaBelyaev) kusukela kumfuyi eRussia futhi kuthiwa unesivumelwane esivumelwaneni nomthengi eNyakatho Melika. Leyo nkontileka yayidinga ukuba umthengi alondoloze impilo efanele emkhunjini wakubo, aphakanyiswe ukuthatha inhlanzi yezilwane emakilasi okulalela inja, kuqinisekiswe ukuthi le fox ingahlanganiswa ngesikhathi sokuthola, futhi yawela ezinye izibopho nezivumelwano.
I-Tame yaseSiberia iPeter Fox
I-Institute of Cytology ne-Genetics iye yahlakulela lezi zimpungushe zezilwane ezincane ngokukhethwa kwesikhathi eside nokuzalanisa ukuziphatha. Iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-50 iye yazinikezelwa kulolu cwaningo futhi ekuthuthukiseni le fox efuywayo yasekhaya.
Lezi zimpungushe ezifuywayo, ezibizwa nangokuthi Isivivinyo sikaBelyaev (emva koprofesa owaqala isifundo se-fox), izimpungushe zesiliva, nezimpungushe ezibomvu zaseRussia ziyisisekelo sokuguqula izakhi zooyise. Indlebe nokusila komsila kuye kwashintsha futhi beza ngemibala ehlukahlukene ngenxa yokuzala okukhethiwe. Ngisho nezakhi zawo zofuzo ziye zashintsha futhi zithuthukiswa ngempela. I-National Geographic yenza ngisho nombiko okhethekile ebhodini owanikhipha kakhulu futhi waqala isidingo sezilwane ezifuywayo ezifuywayo kulezi zizwe.
Isikhumba sezilwane saseSiberia siyisixuku esikhulu futhi singaba nesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-20 futhi siba ngamamitha amabili ubude emahlombe lapho simile emilenzeni yonke. Basabheka okuningi njengobaba babo kodwa izinguquko ezibonakalayo zenziwe kubuntu babo, ukuziphatha, nokubukeka kwabo.
Naphezu kokuthi inkampani yeSibFox ayisekho, lezi zimpungushe zihlala eRussia futhi zisabonakala zitholakala uma zithengwa ngqo ngebhula laseRashiya (i-Laboratory of Evolutionary Genetics of Animals).
Lebhu idayisa izimpungushe njengezilwane ezifuywayo (futhi izinwele kusukela ezindaweni eziningi zibheka ukuthi zingekho emthethweni ukuba zibe nomnikazi wezilwane) ukuze zixhaswe iphrojekthi futhi zingathintana ngqo ku-trut@bionet.nsc.ru noma shpak67@mail.ru uma unesithakazelo ukuthenga eyodwa. Imithetho yasendaweni (ukubona ukuthi ingabe idoli elifuywayo lapho uhlala khona ingokomthetho) kufanele ihlolwe ngaphambi kokuxhumana nebhu ukuze ungatholi ithemba lakho.
