Igama
Ligogo ipunzana[Oreotragus oreotragus]Igama lepunzana le elithi-Rock Jumper (Klipspringer) ngelimi lesiNgisi, kuligama elisuselwa egameni eliselimini le-Afrikaans, kanti-ke ipunzana le ithiyelelwe ngesenzo sayo sokukghona ukugijima ematjeni begodu liqaliswe ekghonweni leenlwani ezihlala emadwaleni ezivamise ukubonwa ziqaqada emadwaleni ngeencenye yeemphetho zeenqatha zazo ngokukhuleka okukhulu.
Ukuvela Nokwakheka Kwayo
Lesi kusilwanyana esincani kodwana esicinileko tle. Sinesilinganiso sobudisi obumakgilogremu alisumi nanye ukuya kalisumi nantathu (11-13 Kg) kanye nesilinganiso sobude obuphakamileko obumamilimitha amakhulu amahlanu ukuya emakhulwini asithandathu (500 mm). Ezisikazi zakhona zikhudlwana kunalezo eziduna, kodwana ngeziduna kwaphela ezineemponjwana ezifitjhani ezinamaronjwana lapho zithoma khona.Iimpunzanezi zineendletjana ezirondo ezihlezi pheze esiphundwini begodu zinamacatjhaza amancani abonakala ngaphakathi kwazo. Imibala yesikhumba sazo esimarhororhoro uqarheke ngeembala efaka hlangana umbala omlotha, osarilana, onzotho kanye nobumvu,begodu inoboya obubonakala bumhlophe obungaphasi, esilevini kanye neencenyeni zomlomo.
Iinlwani Ezidla Iimpunzanezi/Amanabazo
Iimpunzanezi zidliwa khulu zizingwe, iimpungutjha, abodahla kanye neempisi ezimabalabala. Amalamjanazo avamise ukudliwa makhozi kany neemfene. Ngebanga lokuthi iimpunzanezi zitlhoga ukusukela iinkhundla zazo ziyokuzuma ukudla, zihlala ziyelele khulu iinlwani eziyingozi begodu zinamatshwayo wokuyelela nokuyelelisa ezinze.Zivamise ukwenza lokhu nguthoma ngokweqela phezulu zilila nofana kesinye isikhathi zingakabi ukulila begodu kuvame ukurhola phambili leyo esikazi. Nasele zibona bonyana kuphephile, zithoma zirhuwelele ngokubambisana ngendlela ezwakala njengomlozi.
Ukudla/Idayethi
Ukudla kwazo kufaka hlangana ukukhamba zizuma amathuthumbo, iimilo zomango ezihlazana, iinthelo zomango ezihlukahlukeneko, kanye namakhambi. Nokho azikavami nakancani ukudla utjani begodu azikathembeli khulu emanzini.Ukuzala Nokukhulisa
Amalamjana avamise ukuzalwa ngesikhathi sethwasa hlobo kanye nehlobo, ngemva kwesikhathi sekambiso yokumitha esithatha iinyanga ezisithandathu. Amalamjana la avamise ukukhitjhwa emhlambini lokha nesele afinyelele esigabeni sokukhula ngokwaneleko esiminyaka munye.Ukuziphatha Kwazo
Iimpunzana eziduna kanye nezisikazi zakha ubudlelwano obuthatha isikhathi eside begodu ziyabambisana ekuvikeleni isikhundla sazo saphakade nofana ezingasitjhugululiko.Ikhaya Lazo/Indawo Yokuhlala/Isikhundla
Umhlobo lo weempunzana uthanda ukuhlala eendaweni ezinamatje kanye nemadwaleni aseentabeni. Lokhu kuyisiza khulu bona ikwazi ukuphunyurha eenlwanini eziyingozi nalezo ezilinga ukuyibulala, njengombana ineenyawo ezilula begodu zimsinya khulu.Lapho Zitholakala Khona
Zisabalele eendaweni ezilandelako ze-Sewula ye-Afrika; eentabeni ze-Zoutpansberg ne-Lebombo kanye nalapho ekuthoma khona iintaba, magega nomlambo owaziwa nge-Kuiseb River erhalawumbeni le-Namib, eendaweni eziphasi ze-Orange River, begodu zijayeleke khulu eentabeni zeTlhagwini Kapa, kodwana ziyindlala khulu entabeni ye-Drakenesberg.Iimbalobalo Ngepilwazo
