Imbila (Procaviacapensis)Ukwakheka nokuvela kwayo
Imbila kusilwani senarhakazini ye-Afrika esihlobene khulu nekhondlo elibizwa ngonombengwana, umehluko okhona bukhulu bayo nayicathaniswa nekhondlweli. Ubuhlobo nokufana kwawo okukhulokhu kususelwa esakhiweni samazinywazo kanye neenyawo.Ukudla
Imbila iphila ngokudla iimilo nokhunye okuphathelene neemlilo. Isilwana esidla ngendlela yokuhlanganisa lokho esikudlako, kodwana ithanda khulu ukudla utjani ngesikhathi sezulu nofana ehlobo nabukhona. Injalo-nje ngesikhathi sesomiso idla esinye nesinye isimilo esitholakala eduze. Ivamise ukudla iimilo ezaziwa ngokuba yitjhefu, ezinomnuko, ezimile ngebanga lokuwa kwembewu emithini.Ukuzala nokukhulisa
Zivamise ukuzala amadzinyana ekuthomeni kwehlobo ngemva kwesikhathi sekambiso yokumitha esiziinyanga ezilikhomba. Ezinyezalezo ezisikazi zivamise ukumithangaphambi kokuhlanganisa umnyaka wobudala, kanti-ke kuvame bona zizale amadzinyana amabili ngesikhathi esisodwa ukuya kamathathu. Umhlambi weembila ezisikazi ezingaba lisumi nekhomba uvamise ukubuswa yimbila yinye eduna, kuthi ezinye eziduna nezinganasikhathi eside zilungele ukujarha zihlalele kude nomhlambi lo.Ukuziphatha kwazo
Iimbila zizwana nokothamela ilanga emadwaleni amakhulu, khulukhulu ekuseni kanye nangemva kwamadina. Zinjalo nje zidliwa khulu makhozi, ithwana, kanye nezingwe.Lapho zitholakala khona
Njengombana ibizo lazo lenda buko lizihlathulula nje (Rocky Hyrax), zizithandela iindawo ezimadwala nofana amatje amakhulu, eSewula ye-Afrika yoke nje. Zaziwa khulu nangokukhwela imithi msinya, khulukhulu lapho imithi iseduze namatjazo amakhulu.Iimbalobalo ngepilwazo ezirhunyeziweko
