<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nOnlangs was dit juis tyd vir \u201coperasie versorging\u201d en is die media saamgenooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die eerste leeu wat verdoof was, is Jack die leeumannetjie, sodat die opsporingshalsband om sy nek afgehaal kon word. Die rede hiervoor is dat Jack redelik gebiedsgebonde is in die noordelike deel van die Addo-hoofkamp, het dr. Dave Zimmerman, Addo-park se veearts, verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is nogal hartseer om Jack s\u00f3 op sy eie te sien, want hy het altyd met Jill, sy suster, rondbeweeg. \u201cJill het spoorloos verdwyn tydens die strenger fases van die grendeltyd. Ons het net haar halsband geskry,\u201d s\u00ea Fayroush Ludick, Sanparke se streekskommunikasiebestuurder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benewens Jack, kan besoekers die Addo-leeuwyfies dophou om te probeer vasstel watter wyfies op die \u201cpil\u201d is en watter nie. \u2019n Goeie leidraad is dat die wyfies, aan wie voorbehoedmiddels toegedien is, geneigd is om gewig aan te sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drie van die vier volwasse leeu-wyfies is onlangs ook verdoof waarna \u2019n voorbehoedmiddel per inspuiting aan hulle toegedien is. Dit word s\u00f3 gedoen sodat drie van die volwasse wyfies nie vrugbaar is nie, maar die vierde een wel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNa die uitwerking van die middel \u2013 dit hou gemiddeld twee tot drie jaar \u2013 neem dit ses na sewe maande voor die wyfie weer dragtig raak,\u201c het dr. Zimmerman verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die leeuwyfies van die Addo- olifantpark word die afgelope nege jaar voorbehoedmiddels toegedien sodat die park se leeugetalle op nagenoeg 12 gehou kan word. Voorheen is die voorbehoedmiddel ook aan mannetjies toegedien, maar dit is gestaak, omdat die mannetjies se laer testosteroonvlakke tot gevolg het dat hulle hul maanhare verloor, het dr. Zimmerman ges\u00ea<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2004 is ses leeus uit die Kagalagadi-oorgrenspark na die Addo-park oorgeplaas en in \u2019n stadium was daar volgens Zimmerman tot 20 leeus. \u201cMaar ons kon die getalle gelukkig weer afbring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die voorbehoed-program van die Addo-leeus het in 2011 begin. Die totale grootte van die Addo-park is 1 640 km\u00b2, tog moet die leeugetalle op 12 gehou word omdat die park \u201cgefragmenteerd\u201d is in verskillende gebiede, soos Colchester en Woody Cape aan die kusgedeelte, en ook die Darlington-dam en Zuurberg gedeeltes. Voorts word die Addo-hoofkamp, waar ses van die park se leeus voorkom, deur \u2019n spoorlyn van die Nyathi-kamp, waar die ander vyf leeus voorkom, geskei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ideale balans tussen predatoor en herbivoor is noodsaaklik. Die omstan-dighede in die Addo-park is egter ideaal vir die leeus om fluks aan te teel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Zimmerman verduidelik: \u201cWeens die omheinings kan die herbivore nie na ander gebiede vlug of heeltemal wegtrek nie. Daar is ook nie ge-vaar van leeumannetjies wat van buite \u2019n trop oorneem en die welpies doodmaak nie. In die kleiner parke oorleef die meeste welpies, terwyl die fataliteite baie ho\u00ebr is in oop ekosisteme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een werpsel kan wissel tussen een tot ses welpies, wat dit volgens dr. Zimmerman \u2018n interessante aspek van leeubestuur maak. \u201c \u2018n Mens weet nooit hoe groot die werpsels sal wees nie. As jy byvoorbeeld \u2018n werpsel van vyf vrou-like welpies kry, moet jy vinnig plan maak voordat hulle die leeugetalle verder opstoot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Net soos die leeus, moet die hi\u00ebnas \u2013 ook predatore \u2013 se getalle binne perke gehou word om die balans tussen predatoor en herbivoor te behou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die 2019 Kirkwood Wildsfees het die eerste tien hi\u00ebnas onder die hamer gekom. \u201cDit was ongelooflik hoe die mense gebie het. Ons het R25 000 per hi\u00ebna gekry,\u201d het Nick de Goede, be- stuurder van die Addo-olifantpark, verduidelik. \u201cAs ons nie die hi\u00ebna-getalle beheer nie, sal die wild binne die omheining opgevreet word. Hulle is nie net aasdiere soos wat meeste mense dink nie, maar ook jagters. Maar hulle vervul ook \u2019n ongelooflike goeie rol vir ons binne die park. Hulle help byvoorbeeld om die koedoegetalle in die park onder beheer te hou.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
