Umhlaba ugcwele iimfihlelo, kwaye enye iye yafunyanwa ngabaphandi.

Ngokuchasene nenkolelo edumileyo phakathi kwabaqeqeshi abafundisisa ubukumkani bezilwanyana, kukho iindidi ezine ezahlukeneyo zendlulamthi.

Kude kube ngoku, bekukholelwa ukuba inye kuphela, eyahlulwe yangamacandelwana ohlobo oluthile ngokuxhomekeke kwindlulamthi kunye nemvelaphi yendawo.

Iingxelo ze-BBC into yokuba eyona nto ifunyanisiweyo yeyokuba ezi ntlobo-ntlobo khange ziwele kwizigidi zeminyaka, zisenza iindidi ezahlukeneyo zezona zilwanyana zide emhlabeni.

Iintlobo ezine zezi:

• Indlulamthi esemazantsi ( Indlulamthi indlulamthi ),
• Indlulamthi yeMasai ( G. tippelskirchi ),
• Indlulamthi ephindiweyo ( G. reticulata )
• Indlulamthi esemantla ( G. camelopardalis )

Ngoku, ngekhe uphumelele kwaye awunokwazi ukuxela ukuba yeyiphi ngaphandle kokuba ubabambe ngeyure yesidlo sasemini, kuba umahluko ophambili phakathi kweentlobo zeendlulamthi kukuba & ampos bazilungiselele kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokutya.
