Agalu amanunkhiza maganizo anu

Ndithudi, palibe aliyense wa okonda agalu amene angatsutse mfundo yakuti nyama zimenezi zimakhudzidwa kwambiri pozindikira mmene munthu akumvera. Koma amachita bwanji zimenezi? N’zoona kuti “amawerenga” zizindikiro zazing’ono za thupi, koma izi si zokhazo. Pali chinthu chinanso: agalu samawona mawonekedwe akunja a malingaliro amunthu, komanso amanunkhiza.

Kodi agalu amanunkhiza bwanji?

Chowonadi ndi chakuti mayiko osiyanasiyana amalingaliro ndi thupi amasintha mlingo wa mahomoni m'thupi la munthu. Ndipo mphuno yomva ya agalu imazindikira mosavuta kusintha kumeneku. Ndicho chifukwa chake agalu amatha kuzindikira mosavuta tikakhala achisoni, mantha kapena opanda thanzi.

Mwa njira, kuthekera kwa agalu ndi chimodzi mwazifukwa zomwe zimakhala akatswiri azachipatala. Agalu amathandiza anthu kuthana ndi nkhawa, kukhumudwa komanso zinthu zina zosasangalatsa.

Ndi malingaliro ati omwe agalu amawadziwa bwino?

Ofufuza ochokera ku yunivesite ya Naples, makamaka Biagio D'Aniello, adayesa kufufuza ngati agalu amatha kununkhiza maganizo a anthu. Kafukufukuyu adakhudza agalu 40 (Golden Retrievers ndi Labradors), komanso eni ake.

Anthu anagawidwa m’magulu atatu, ndipo gulu lililonse linkaonetsedwa mavidiyo. Gulu loyamba linasonyezedwa vidiyo yochititsa mantha, gulu lachiŵiri linasonyezedwa vidiyo yoseketsa, ndipo gulu lachitatu linasonyezedwa lopanda ndale. Pambuyo pake, ophunzirawo adapereka zitsanzo za thukuta. Ndipo agalu ananunkhiza zitsanzozi pamaso pa eni ake ndi alendo.

Zinapezeka kuti kuchita mwamphamvu kwambiri agalu kunayamba chifukwa cha fungo la thukuta la anthu amantha. Pamenepa, agalu amasonyeza zizindikiro za kupsinjika maganizo, monga kuwonjezeka kwa mtima. Kuonjezera apo, agaluwa ankapewa kuyang'ana anthu osadziwika, koma ankakonda kuyang'ana maso ndi eni ake.

Mapeto a asayansi: agalu samangomva mantha a anthu, koma mantha awa amaperekedwanso kwa iwo. Ndiko kuti, amasonyeza bwino chifundo.
