Izilwanyana ezichitha ixesha elininzi zikhangela ukutya zinokuvezwa ngakumbi kukutshintsha kwemozulu, ngophando olwenziwe ngabaphandi eImperial College yaseLondon kunye neZoological Society yaseLondon (eUnited Kingdom) neyapapashwa kwiphephancwadi elithi 'Nature Ecology & Evolution'.
Kwaye, izidlo eziphakathi, ezifana ne-crab fox okanye ikati yase-Bengal, ukufumana into yokuyibeka emlonyeni Kufuneka bahambe imigama emide kwaye inde ngokugawulwa kwamahlathi nokutshintsha kwemozulu.
Ukufikelela kweso sigqibo, oososayensi basebenzise idatha kwizilwanyana ezitya inyama kwihlabathi liphela, ukusuka kwizingwe ukuya kwii-weasel. Ke, babenako ukubonisa oko iintlobo eziphakathi, oko kukuthi, ezo zinobunzima phakathi kwe-1 ukuya kwi-10 kilos, zichithe uninzi losuku zikhangela ukutya, ezibangela uxinzelelo oluninzi kwaye, ngenxa yoko, zonakalisa impilo yabo.
Ngokuka Samraat Pawar, weSebe lezeNzululwazi ngezoBomi eImperial College yaseLondon, bacebisa imodeli elula yemathematics eqikelela ukuba ixesha lokondla lixhomekeke kubungakanani bomzimba wesilwanyana. »Oku kunokunceda ukuqikelela ubungozi obunokubakho kumarhamncwa ajongene notshintsho kwindalo esingqongileyo.». Imodeli enjalo iphuhlisiwe liqela, elisebenzise idatha eqokelelwe ngeendlela zokulandela umkhondo, ezinje ngeekhola zerediyo kunye neGPS. Lilonke, idatha evela kwi-73 yeentlobo zezilwanyana zomhlaba ezivavanyiweyo.
Ke, bafumanise ukuba abatya inyama ngokuphakathi bakhangela ukutya ixesha elide kuba bondla ixhoba, xa kuthelekiswa nomzimba wabo, lincinci kwaye ngenxa yoko likhawuleza kakhulu kwaye kunzima ukubamba. Kule nto kufuneka kongezwe ilahleko yendawo yokuhlala, nto leyo eyenza ukuba kubenzima ngakumbi kumarhamncwa ukuba azingele.
