Ubulili e-Beach eBalifornia
Njalo ebusika, umbukiso uvela ngasogwini lwaseCalifornia okungafani nanoma yimuphi omunye. Ngaleso sikhathi, izinkulungwane zezintambo zendlovu ezisenyakatho zihlangana emabhishi, zibuya ekude zihlala olwandle. Ngakapheli amasonto ambalwa nje, kuyisenzo esinjengabesilisa njengoba bezama ukuba yinkomo ebusayo, abesifazane baya emanzini, izinsana zizalwa futhi zanconywa. Ngemva kwalokho, bonke babuyela olwandle futhi lapho bazohlala khona ezinyangeni ezingu-9 ezilandelayo.
Ikoloni yokuzalanisa e-Año Nuevo State Park enyakatho yeSanta Cruz iyisicoco esifushane esivela endaweni yokupaka. Ukuhamba lapho, izivakashi zithola ithuba elingavamile lokuzibona zisondele. Amavolontiya wokuzithandela ahola izinkambo, achaze ukuhamba-phambili, futhi agcine izimpawu zezindlovu nabantu bephephile komunye nomunye.
Uma unenhlanhla, ungase ubone i-pup ezalwa noma ubukele impi phakathi kwabesilisa ababili. Iningi lezimpi ziyizikhwama nje kuphela, kodwa zijabulisayo nokho.
Ungase uzwe izinkunzi ezingu-2.5-ton zenza izingcingo zabo ezingavamile ukuthi abanye abantu bathi zizwakala njengesithuthuthu emgqeni wokudonsa. Ungayithola ukurekhoda kwayo kuwebhusayithi ye-Marine Mammal Center.
Okudingeka Ukwazi Ngo-Año Nuevo
Indlela kuphela yokubona izimpawu ku-Ano Nuevo ngenkathi yokuzalanisa kuhambo oluqondisiwe, olwenzeka nsuku zonke kusukela ngoDisemba kuya ku-Mashi futhi lugcine amahora angu-2.5.
Ukubhuka kuyimfuneko, futhi abantu ngabanye bangaqala ukubenza phakathi nango-Okthoba.

Uma uhamba emva kukaFebhuwari, uzothola kuphela izingonyama zasolwandle ezisemncane kodwa ngeke ubone abantu abadala.
Akukho ukudla noma iziphuzo (ngaphandle kwamanzi amabhodlela) avunyelwe ekuvakasheni, futhi akukho nokuqabuleka okutholakala epakini.
Izilwane ezifuywayo azivunyelwe epakini.
Ngisho noma kuvula, izambulela azivunyelwe ekuhambeni ngoba ziyesaba izilwane.
Ukuhamba kungamamitha angu-3 ubude futhi bunzima ngokulinganisela. Indlela eya endaweni yokubuka ayifanele abantu abanokukhubazeka kokuhamba. Noma kunjalo, i-park ingaba nabantu abanenkinga yokuhamba emgwaqeni webhodi (ngokubhuka).

I-Elephant Seal Life Cycle
Izindwangu zendlovu zichitha isikhathi eside ekuphileni kwazo olwandle. Kusukela ngasekupheleni kukaDisemba, baqala ukufika ngasogwini ngamunye, beqala ngamadoda.
Izilonda eziyishumi nane kuya eziyishumi nesithupha ubude futhi zilinganiselwa ku-2.5 amathani, abantu abakhulu bahlanganyela ezinqoleni ezincane ezingase ziqhubekele empi ebudlova ukuze zenze ukubusa kanye nelungelo lokuhlala phakathi kwezidumbu kanye nomlingani nazo zonke izinsikazi zayo.
Abesifazane bafika ogwini olulandelayo. Bathwala i-pup elilodwa, elingama-75-pound pup, bese bebuthela ezinhlakeni ezinkulu. Bondla izingane zabo cishe inyanga, umngane womshado, bese beyeka izingane (manje esilinganisa amapremu angu-350) ukuba zibuyele olwandle.
Ngo-Mashi, iningi labantu abadala liyekile. Izingane, ezibizwa ngokuthi "izimboni," zifunde ngokumangalisayo ukudoba, ukuthola ukudla, futhi zihlale zodwa.
Ngokungafani nezinye izilwane, izikhumba zezindlovu zichitha zonke izinwele zazo ngokuzumayo, zibuyele ogwini nhlobo entwasahlobo nasehlobo ukuze zihlolwe. Eminye yonyaka basesolwandle, lapho bachitha khona isikhathi esingama-90% ngaphansi kwamanzi, behamba ngemaminithi angu-20 ngesikhathi esifinyelela emamitha angu-2 000 afuna ukudla.
