Ua kī ʻia ʻo Elephant no ka braai 'i mua o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi

Ua kī ʻia kahi ʻelepani i make - i ʻōlelo ʻia no ka "braaivleis party" a kahi aliʻi kūloko - i mua o kekahi mau mākaʻikaʻi ma ka Paka ʻo Bwabwata ma ka moku ʻo Caprivi i ka pule i hala aku nei, e hōʻoki pōkole ana i kā lākou mau huakaʻi.

ʻO Andrew Momberg, kahi alakaʻi huakaʻi pilikino e lawe pinepine i nā mea kūʻai aku i ka Namibia ʻākau, haʻi aku i ka Namibian ua ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi mea e like me ia ma mua.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua lawe ʻo ia i kahi hui huakaʻi Pelekane i kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo "Horseshoe Bend" ma ka muliwai Cuando ma ʻAukake 8.

He lua wai kaulana ia e hiki ai i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ke nānā i nā ʻelepani e pāʻani ana i ka wai.

“Ma kahi paha o 50 mau ʻelepani.

"He mea koʻikoʻi ia no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e ʻike iā lākou e pāʻani leʻaleʻa ana i ka wai," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

I ka manawa aʻe, kani maila nā kī a ʻelua a hāʻule kahi bipi elephant i hōʻeha i ka honua i mua o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi.

"Ua pīhoihoi a pīhoihoi nā poʻe āpau i ka mea a lākou i ʻike ai i mua o ko lākou mau maka ponoʻī. a laila hoʻomaka ka poʻe e uwa mai ka makaʻu, "e like me kā Momberg.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hōʻea koke nā luna o ke Kuhina o ke Kaiāulu a me ka Hoʻokipa ma hope, e wehewehe ana i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi he "holoholona pilikia" ka ʻelepani e hoʻopōʻino ana i nā kaiāulu kūloko.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua holo aku nā holoholona āpau mai ke kahawai - a pēlā pū me nā mākaʻikaʻi a pau, "ka poʻe i makemake e hoʻi i ka home".

I ke kakahiaka aʻe, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Momberg a me kāna mea kūʻai aku e hoʻi i loko o ka pā no kahi pāʻani pāʻani.

ʻO ka ʻelepani i kī ʻia i ka lā i hala iho nei "e moe ana i kona mau wāwae kīkī, nā pūwi i ka honua, a me ke kahe o ke koko mai kāna kumu a me ka waha".

"Ma kahi o ʻumi mau kānaka me ʻelua mau kaʻa o ke Kuhina e pili ana i ka holoholona make, e ʻokiʻoki ana a ʻokiʻoki iā ia.

Ke hele nei ko mākou ala ma mua o ke kupapaʻu, akā ua noi mai nā kāne iā mākou e hana i kahi ala liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou no ke one mānoanoa, no laila ua hoʻokau ʻia mākou e hoʻokele a ma o ke koko a me nā ʻiʻo i pīpī ma ke ala.

ʻAʻole kēia kahi ʻike maikaʻi no nā mea mākaʻikaʻi, "wahi a Momberg.

Ke hoʻi nei ma hope ua kaʻa hou ke kaʻa i laila, haʻi ʻo ia i ka Namibian.

"ʻIke kēia mau [haole] i kēia ʻano mea," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

"Ua minamina wau iā lākou."

Ma hope o kēlā awakea ua ʻike ʻia, e like me kā Momberg, ua kī pū ʻia kekahi hippo ma kahi kokoke i ka lā i hala, a no ke kumu hoʻokahi - he "pāʻina braaivleis" i ʻōlelo ʻia e kekahi o nā aliʻi kūloko ma ʻAukake 10.

Ua kāhea aku ka Namibian i kahi kumuwaiwai ma kekahi o nā keʻena hoʻokipa ma ia wahi a ua hōʻoia ʻo ia i kēia hanana, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana e hoʻolauleʻa ana ke Aliʻi Josef Mayuni o ka ʻohana Mafwe i kona hoʻolauleʻa ʻana a ua kī ʻia nā holoholona ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana ʻimi holoholona.

ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia inā pili ka hanana i ka loaʻa ʻana o kaʻiʻo hippo a me ka wāwae elepani i loko o kahi kaʻa mākaʻi ma kahi wahi huli kokoke i Rundu i ka Lāpule.

Ua hāʻawi ʻia ka Namibian i ka Hope Hoʻokele o ka Wildlife Management ma ke Kuhina, ʻo Colgar Shikopo, no ka ʻōlelo akā aia ʻo ia i loko o kahi hālāwai.
