Ingwe emnyama yaseAfrika enqabileyo yafotwa endle okokuqala kwiminyaka engaphezu kwe-100.

Umfoti wezilwanyana zasendle waseBritane Ngaba uBurrard-Lucas ukhuphe ingqokelela yeefoto NgoMvulo obonisa isilwanyana esime malunga neKenya yeLaikipia Wilderness Camp.

Ngokwazi kwam, le yimifanekiso eqingqiweyo yekhamera ekumgangatho ophakamileyo yehlosi lasendle elithabathayo eAfrika, eBurrard-Lucas ubhale .

Xa uBurrard-Lucas weva malunga nokutshabalala kweengwe ezimnyama ezingqonge iLaikipia, wagqiba kwelokuba aye epakini kunye nengqokelela yemigibe yekhamera ukuzama ukufota isilwanyana. Imigibe yekhamera yayiqulethe inzwa yokuhamba ngaphandle kwamacingo, ikhamera ekumgangatho ophezulu yeDSLR kunye nemibane emibini okanye emithathu.

Kwakukho ubusuku obuninzi obungaphumelelanga ngaphambi kokuba uBurrard-Lucas akwazi ukuthatha umfanekiso wesilwanyana esingafumanekiyo, kwaye i-hardwon shots iyabetha. Ingwe emnyama iphuma kwimbonakalo yomhlaba ngamehlo ayo ekhanyayo ekhanyayo kwimitha yekhamera.

Umbala wehlosi elimnyama sisiphumo se-melanism (uguquko oluchasene nealbinism). Ukuveliswa okungaphezulu kombala kudala imibala yengwe yeinki emnyama. NgokukaNick Pilford, okhokela umphandi wenkqubo yolondolozo lwengwe eLaikipia County , i-melanism yenzeka malunga ne-11% yeengwe kwihlabathi liphela, kodwa uninzi lwalo hlosi luhlala eMzantsi-mpuma Asia.

Besisoloko sisiva ngehlosi elimnyama elihlala kule ngingqi, kodwa amabali ebengekho kwimidlalo ekumgangatho ophezulu enokuqinisekisa ubukho bayo, Uxelele uPilford USA Namhlanje . Yiyo le nto iifoto zikaWill kunye neevidiyo ezikwiikhamera zethu ezikude ngoku zibonisa, kwaye zinqabile ngokukodwa kwiinkcukacha zazo kunye nokuqonda.

Kukho imbambano malunga nokuba ngubani obengowokuqala ukuthwebula umfanekiso wengwe emnyama kule nkulungwane yama-21. Ukubona ingwe ye-biologist icacisiwe kwiJenali yaseAfrika ye-ecology ngoJulayi 2018 (inqaku lapapashwa ngoDisemba) kodwa kwakungekho mfanekiso.

Kodwa elinye iphephandaba eKenya, Isizwe semihla ngemihla , ucela umngeni kwibango elitsha , besithi omnye wabafoti wabamba ingwe ngo-2013.
