Ukhozi

Ukhozi iyinyoni enkulu futhi enamandla, edume ngokundiza phezulu esibhakabhakeni. Lihlala ezindaweni ezivulekile ezifana nezintaba, amahlathi, noma ezindaweni ezivulekile zamapulazi. Ukhozi linephiko elibanzi nelinamandla elenza likwazi ukundiza ibanga elide ngaphandle kokukhathala.

Umsebenzi omkhulu wokhozi ukuphila ngokuzingela. Lisebenzisa amehlo alo aqinile ukubona izilwane ezincane eziphansi phansi. Uma likubona ukudla, lihamba ngokushesha bese ligibela phansi ukulibamba. Ukhozi luzala ngokubeka amaqanda alo endaweni ephephile, ngokuvamile ezindaweni eziphakeme ezifana ezintabeni noma ezihlahleni. Bobabili abazali bayakhathalela amaqanda, beqinisekisa ukuthi amancane aphilile futhi athola ukudla okwanele. Amandla alo namakhono okuhamba phezulu esibhakabhakeni alenza abe ngumzingeli ophumelelayo.

Izici ezibonakalayo zokhozi zifaka amehlo aqinile, isikhala esibukhali somlomo (beak), izinyawo ezinamandla nezihlunu ezibukhali (talons). Lezi zinto zenza ukhozi likwazi ukubamba nokubamba ukudla kalula. Amaphiko alo amakhulu asiza ukundiza ibanga elide futhi alawule indlela linyakaza ngayo esibhakabhakeni.Kukhona izinhlobo ezahlukene zokhozi, ezifana noKhozi olumnyama (Bald Eagle), noKhozi wegolide (Golden Eagle), kanye noKhozi waseHarpy (Harpy Eagle), ezihlala ezifundeni ezahlukene zomhlaba.

Ukhozi awuhlali nje njengenyoni enkulu kuphela kodwa uphinde ube yisifanekiso samandla, inkululeko, nobuhlakani kwezinye izizwe. Kubantu abaningi, ukubona ukhozi kuphakamisa umoya futhi kukhuthaza abantu ukuba babe namandla futhi bazimele. Ukhozi uyisibonelo sempilo yamandla nokuzimela endaweni yemvelo.Ukhozi lungaphila iminyaka engaba 20–30 ehlathini. Luphinde lube yisifanekiso samandla, inkululeko, nobuhlakani, futhi lukhuthaza abantu ukuba babe namandla, bazimele, futhi babe nesibindi.
