Umuntu wakhiqizwa inkunzi yasendle okungenani eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu edlule. Namuhla, sihlobanisa inkomo ngento enhle-enomzimba, ezolile, ngisho nokudabuka okuncane, futhi sikhumbula ukuhlukumeza kwezinkunzi ngaphandle kwe-corrida yaseSpain, nakuba kuphakanyiswa kakhulu ngabaphikisi bokuhlukumeza izilwane.
Kodwa-ke, uma ubheka isithombe se-wild bull Vatussi, uqala ukuqonda ukuthi abameleli bezwe lezinkomo akulula futhi akulimazi njengoba sasicabanga.
Kunoma yikuphi, lesi silo esinomusa nesingenalo isilwane esincelisayo esimelwe ukumazi kangcono.
Ukubukeka
Isici esiyinhloko esihlukanisayo sikaWatusi yizimpondo zakhe. Uma ususa lo mhlobiso wezinga elimangalisayo, phambi kwethu kuzovela leyo nkomo ejwayelekile kakhulu kusukela ebuntwaneni. Kodwa uma inhloko yesilwane esine-ruminant ihlotshiswe ngemikhawulo eqinile esuka ku-1.5 kuya ku-3.5 m ubude futhi cishe isigamu semitha ubude esisekelweni, amehlo anjalo ayinakucabangela kodwa.
I-Vatussi, njengezinkomo ezifuywayo, ziyinzalo yezivakashi zasendle ezingaphelile (i-Bos taurus), omelele wokugcina owahlala ngo-1627. Kukholelwa ukuthi kwakuyi-Vatussi egcina ukufana okuphezulu nokhokho bakhe bokuqala.
Uyazi? Encwadini yeGuinness of Records ngo-2003, inkunzi yasendle okuthiwa uLurch, owayehlala esifundeni sase-Arkansas e-United States, yangena. Isimpondo ngasinye sasilinganisa u-50 kg futhi sinomthamo we-girth we-92.25 cm!I-artiodactyl ekhulile inokuphakama ekugcineni kwe-1.3-1.7 m, ubude bomzimba obude buyi-2-3.6 m. Umuntu wesilisa angaba nesisindo esingu-600-730 kg, owesifazane angaba ngu-400 kuya ku-550 kg. Inqama enezinyanga ezimbili ngokuvamile inesisindo esingu-20 kg noma ngaphezulu.
Kumele kuqaphele ukuthi ubukhulu bama-vusiki namanje buphansi kancane ekuhambeni kwezilwane: isilwane sasendulo sasingaba ngu-1.7-1.8 m ubude futhi sinesisindo esingu-800 kg. Umbala wezinkunzi ezinamazinyo ezindala unobundu, ngezinye izikhathi unamabala amhlophe. Esinye isici esihlukanisayo yisifuba esikhulu.Kodwa emuva ezimpondweni, umhlobiso oyinhloko wohlobo. Okubaluleke kakhulu kubhekwa njengama-vussia, "umqhele" wakhe onomumo owubuchopho noma oqoshiwe, futhi, nakakhulu, isikhathi eside kakhulu izimpondo, kubiza kakhulu inkampani yenethiwekhi. Kodwa-ke, isilwane esigqoke ubuhle obunjalo kuwufanele umzamo omkhulu, ngoba ulinganisa cishe u-80 kg, uhamba ohlangothini olungaphezu kuka 2 m.
Zazi ngokwakho ngezinhlobo eziyaziwa kakhulu zenkomo yenkomo ye-fattening.
Ngendlela, elinye lamagama ayo lixhunywe nesici esihlukile salesi sizukulwane sezokuvakasha zasendle. E-Rwanda, lezi zilwane ngezinye izikhathi zibizwa ngokuthi "inyambo", okusho ukuthi "inkomo enezimpondo eside kakhulu." Elinye igama lendawo yenkomo enesikhathi eside liyi "insago", okusho ukuthi "okutholakala khona" ngolimi lwesizwe samaTutsi.
Lezi zilwane zibizwa ngokuthi "amaVatussi" eBurundi naseRwanda (ngemuva kwegama lenye yezinhlanga zamaTutsi zendawo), kodwa e-Uganda, ukwakheka kobuhlanga okubhekiswe kakhulu yi-ankole, izinkomo zasendle ezinezimpondo eside zibizwa ngokuthi, "i-ankole". 
Uhlala kuphi
E-East Africa, insimu yosuku lwamanje iRwanda, iBurundi neKenya, yindawo yakulo mlando ye-watusi noma i-ankole. Kukholelwa ukuthi izinkambo zasendle zafika lapha eMfuleni iNayile zingakapheli iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngaphambi kukaKristu: izilwane ezinezimpondo ezinkulu zingabonakala emiphakathini yemidwebo yodonga yaseGibithe lasendulo.
Kukhona inguqulo yokuthi, ngaphezu kwezinkambo zasendle, izinkunzi ze-zebu ze-zebu (Bos taurus indicus), ezazisakazwa eNdiya nasePakistan futhi zifudukela e-Afrika, zisuka e-Ethiopia naseSomalia, zahlanganyela ekwakheni i-ankole-vatusi yanamuhla. isikhathi semlando njengezivakashi ezivela eGibhithe.
Kubalulekile! I-Vatussi kungenzeka ukuthi iwumphumela wesiphambano semvelo phakathi kwezinkomo zasendle zaseGibhithe naseNdiya.
Ekhulwini lama-60 leminyaka eledlule, izinkunzi ezinamazinyo eziningi zalethwa eMelika futhi, ngenxa yokuzivumelanisa kwazo okuhle, zisakazeka masinyane kuwo wonke umhlaba weNew World. EYurophu, i-ankole itholakala, e-peninsula yaseCrimea, nasezindaweni ezidumile zase-Ukraine e-Askania-Nova, esesifundazweni saseKherson. 
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi izimpondo ezinkulu ze-watusi zisebenzela isilwane hhayi nje kuphela ukuvikela izilwane ezidliwayo, kodwa futhi nezokushisa. Ngenxa yalokhu umhlobiso obonakala unzima futhi ongathandeki, isilwane sikwazi ukubekezelela kalula ukushisa kwama-50.
Kuvela ukuthi ngaphakathi ngaphakathi, ukukhula okunamandla kwenkunzi kunenani elikhulu lemithambo yegazi. Igazi elidlula kubo likhohliwe ukugeleza komoya, bese kungene emzimbeni, kuqiniseke ukuthi kunciphise izinga lokushisa kwalo ngenxa yokwanda kokudlulisa ukushisa. Nasi isimiso esinjalo esingavamile sokwenziwa kwe-thermoregulation, esiwusizo kakhulu kwi-savanna yase-Afrika.
Akumangazi ukuthi abathwali bezimpondo ezinkulu babhekwa njengezizwe ezibaluleke kakhulu, ngoba labo bantu bahlala njalo. Izinkunzi ezinjalo zazifakwe emhlambini webukhosi futhi zihlonishwe njengezilwane ezingcwele.
Uyazi? Izinkomo ezingcwele azizange zisetshenziselwe ukudla, zikhonza njengesiqiniseko esiphila ngesimo somnikazi wazo. Kodwa-ke, ezimweni zokudla okulinganiselwe, izizwe zase-Afrika azikwazanga ukukhokhela izilwane ezinkulu ngokunethezeka, ngakho bazama ukuthola inani eliningi lobisi kubo. Izinkabi zavunyelwa ukuba zidle usuku lonke, emva kwalokho zavunyelwa ukuya emathole, zinike ithuba lokuphuza ubisi oluningi ngangokunesidingo ukuze zingafi ngendlala.
Ngokwehluleka, kufanele kuqaphele ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe abuzange bukhiqize izithelo zawo ngaso sonke isikhathi, kanti intsha eyayisendlala yilapho ishona ngaphambi kokuba ifinyelele eminyakeni yokuthomba. 
Noma kunjalo, izizwe ezinjalo zase-Afrika njengeTutsi, i-Ankole, i-Maasai, i-Bashi, i-Bakhima, i-Kigezi, i-Kivu kanye nabanye, i-Watussi yizona izilwane ezibaluleke kakhulu ezivela embonweni wezomnotho amakhulu eminyaka.
Indlela yokuphila nokuziphatha
I-Ankole-vatusi (abaseMelika bhala igama lesi silwane ngencwadi eyodwa "c" - ankole-watusi) bahlala emasimini asendle ezindaweni ezivulekile - emagcekeni, ama-steppes noma amasimu.
Seluleka ukuba ufunde ukuthi kungani izimpondo zenkomo zikhonza futhi zikhula.
Naphezu kokubukeka kwabo okwesabisa, lezi zinkunzi zinomuntu ozolile, ongeke umangale: isimo sezulu esishisayo, lapho lezi zilwane ezihamba khona zihlala khona, zihlanganisa nomthwalo osindayo ekhanda, azibandakanyi ekufuseni nasekusebenzeni ngokweqile.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izinhlanzi ezinamandla zivumela izilwane ukuba zinqobe amabanga amade kakhulu ekufuneni ukudla, futhi zize zenze ijubane elikhulu lokuhamba ngesivinini. Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi, uma kunesidingo, i-ankole ingase ikwazi ukuzimela futhi ibuye ibonise ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu bonke abesilisa bomndeni. 
Kodwa nokho ubukhulu obukhulu nezimpondo ezibulalayo kwenza ama-vussiki ayengacindezeli lutho kunoma yiliphi lezilwane zase-Afrika, ngakho-ke lezi zilwane cishe azikho izitha zemvelo ezikwazi ukulwa nokulwa okuvulekile, ngakho-ke azikho izizathu eziningi kakhulu zokuthi i-ankolo ithukuthele.
Kubalulekile! Njengoba usondelene ne-ankole-vatusi, umuntu kufanele aqaphele ngokucophelela: ukuguqula ikhanda, isilwane singamlimaza kalula umuntu onogwaja onophondo olukhulu, engazimisele ngokuphelele ukubangela ubuhlungu kumnikazi.
Abameleli abafuywayo basezizukulwaneni basuke benamathele ngokuphelele futhi bayakujabulela ukubeka izinhlangothi zabo ukuba ziqothule. Esikhathini sokuvuthwa, izimpondo zibe yisikhali sangempela futhi esesabekayo, okuyinto abesilisa abayisebenzisayo ngesikhathi sokulwa, ukuthola ukuthi yiluphi ilungu lomhlambi onamandla kakhulu futhi unelungelo lokunakekelwa kwabesifazane.
Yini ongayidla
Njengoba wazi, izinkomo ziyizinkomo, kanti e-Afrika, lapho kwakuhlala khona i-Vatussi, imifino iboniswa kabi. Uma ucabangela ukuthi inzalo enkulu yesikhala sasendle idinga okungenani amagremu ayi-100 ngosuku (inkomo ingayenza ngezinga eliphansi kakhulu lika-50-70 kg), indlela eyodwa kuphela yokusindela i-ankola yikhono lokugaya ngokweqile noma yikuphi ukudla ongayithola kuphela. 
Futhi, impela uhlelo lokugaya i-vatussi lwaklanyelwe ukuze isilwane singakwazi ukugaya ngisho nokudla okusobala futhi okunamandla, sisuse kuwo wonke umsoco umuntu angakwazi.
Funda kabanzi mayelana nezici zokudla zezilonda.
Ama-omnivorous kanye nokungathobeki okunjalo, okuhlangene nekhono lokuthatha isikhathi eside ngaphandle kwamanzi, futhi avumela inzalo yezivakashi zasendle ukuba ingasindisi nje kuphela abahlala phambili, kodwa futhi isakaze ezindaweni eziningi, amazwe amasha namazwekazi anqobayo.
Ukuzala
I-Vatussi, ngokungafani nokhokho wakhe oqothuliwe, unezici zofuzo eziqinile futhi ikhono lokulondoloza uhlobo lwayo. Ukukhulelwa kanye namathole ukuvuthwa ngokobulili cishe ngesikhathi esisodwa: eneminyaka engu-6-9, cishe esikhathini esifanayo, ezinyangeni ezingu-4-10, ukuziphatha okugcwele ngokobulili kuqala ukuzibonakalisa.
I-gobies ilungele ukuhlangana nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, kodwa, ezinkukhuleni, ikhono lokukhulelwa nokuzala inzalo lihlobene ngokuqondile nomjikelezo wesondo. Isikhathi esihle kakhulu semidlalo yomshado yisiqalo sonyaka wemvula, e-Afrika eqala ngoMashi futhi iphele ngoMeyi. Isikhathi sokubeletha kuzo zonke izinkomo sihlala izinyanga ezingu-9-11 (kusukela ezinsukwini ezingu-270 kuya ku-300).
I-Vatussi ngabazali abanakekela kakhulu futhi abanakekelekile, noma kunjalo, indima eyinhloko ekuvikeleni amathole angenakuzivikela futhi angenakuzivikela angokwamadoda. Ebusuku, lapho ukuhlaselwa okungazelelwe kwesidlali esilambile kufinyelele esiphezulu, izinsana zivikelwe izimpondo ezinamandla zesilwane semfuyo. 
Kusihlwa, izinkunzi zihambisa zonke amathole zibe yizinqwaba ezinzima, kuyilapho zona ngokwazo zibekwe eceleni kwendandatho enezimpondo ezivezwe ngaphandle. Ukunqoba okunjalo, ngaphandle kokuvusa owesilisa omkhulu futhi ongazi kahle isikhali sakhe esibulalayo, cishe akunakwenzeka.
I-Vatussi iyizinkunzi zase-Afrika ezinezimpondo ezinkulu ezigcina ukufana okukhulu nokuvakasha kwendle, kodwa, ngokungafani nokhokho babo, ikwazi ukuvumelanisa nesimo sezulu esishintshayo hhayi nje kuphela ukulondoloza, kodwa futhi ikhulise kakhulu inani layo ngenxa yokunqotshwa kwezindawo ezintsha.
Uyazi? Isizwe esasidumile samaMasai esihlala emadolobheni, esiphila namuhla eKenya, asidli inyama nje kuphela, kodwa futhi siyigazi legazi. Ubelethwe ngobisi futhi adakwe njengeprotheni enomsoco..Leli khono lokuphila ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, lapho kungekho khona amanzi, ukudla, nelanga elingenangqondo, liye lasetshenziswa ngokuphumelelayo ngezizwe eziningi zakwa-Afrika, ezazisizwa izinkunzi zasendle ezindala ukuba zingabulawa yindlala.
