nyoka msituni

Huku Tarehe 16 mwezi Juni ikiwa ni siku ya maadhimisho ya siku ya nyoka duniani mnyama huyo hutazamwa kwa hatari kubwa, waerevu na mara nyingine hata kuhusishwa na imani potofu na uchawi katika baadhi ya jamii za Kiafrika.

Kwa kawaida nyoka anakuwa juu ya orodha ya mambo ambayo mtu anaogopa maishani mwake.

Maelfu ya watu duniani hufariki kutokana na sumu kali ya nyoka baada ya kuumwa kila mwaka kwa mujibu wa shirika la afya duniani.

Ukosefu wa matibabu na hata matibabu mabaya hufanya vifo hivyo kutokingika.

Kuumwa na nyoka huenda kusionekane kuwa janga baya la kiafya.

Lakini katika maeneo mengine duniani ni hatari kila siku na huenda kukasababisha maafa ama hata kubadilisha maisha ya mtu.

Pengine ndio sababu ya kuwepo dhana tofuati, baadhi potofu, kuhusu wanyama hawa.

Hebu tuwafahamu zaidi.

Je ni kweli?

Nyoka hawatambai kwenye mawe na kamba

Wanaweza kutambaa juu na hata chini ya mawe, kwenye miti na majengo. Nyoka hupenda kujificha ardhini.

Ni rahisi kwao kujificha chini ya vichaka, na vigumu kutambaa chini ya mawe madogo kwenye bustani.

Ni vyema kuzikata nyasi ziwe ndogo na uondoshe masalio yoyote ya nyasi zilizokatwa au majani makavu yalioangukana kujikusanya.

Kadhalika ni vymea uondoshe sehemu za mti zilizoanguka juu ya paa au zinazoning'inia kutoka nyumba yako.

Ukiona mtoto wa nyoka na familia nzima i papo

Iwapo nyoka huzaa watoto au kutaga mayai, kawaida anapojifungua huwaondokea watoto na kuwaacha kivyao.

Iwapo utamuona nyoka mkubwa karibu na mdogo basi huenda ni sadfa tu.

Wao hutawanyika punde wanapojifungua.

Nyoka huteleza

Kawaida, watu ambao hawajawahi kumgusa nyoka hudhani kwamba wanyama hao huteleza ukiwagusa. Ngozi ya nyoka huonekana kuwa kavu, lakini kwa kuigusa ni nyororo.

Nyoka ni wakali

Nyoka wanaogopa binaadamu zaidi ya binaadamu wanavyowaogopa. Kwa kawaida huwa wana haya au aibu sana na iwapo wangekuwa na nafasi anaweza kutoroka asionekane.

Ni iwapo tu amekwama au ametishiwa, kama ilivyo kwa kiumbe chochote, nyoka hushambulia kujilinda.

Lakini mara nyingi baadhi huona afadhali kutoroka kuliko kushambulia.

Nyoka wote hutaga mayai

Licha ya kwamba reptilia wengi hutaga mayai, sio nyoka wote wanaotaga. Baadhi ya nyoka kama wa aina ijulikanayo kama Oriental Vine, huzaa nyoka wadogo.

Why Ireland is VITAL to PRESIDENT Joe Biden.

  There is almost nothing that the polarised politicians in Washington can agree on these days. Bipartisan co-operation is extremely hard to find. That is with respect to an American editor Sara Smith. But there is one issue on which just about everyone sees eye to eye. And that is the value of the Good Friday Agreement (GFA), which ended 30 years of deadly violence in Northern Ireland.  The agreement itself is seen as a shining example of what can be achieved by determined diplomacy and careful negotiation.  American politicians are rightly proud of the role the US played in securing the peace. The tireless work of Senator George Mitchell as well as the intense engagement of President Bill Clinton were essential. President Biden sees the agreement as part of his own political legacy and can claim    credit   for encouraging US involvement in the peace process through the 1980s and 90s. Defending the GFA, and the relative peace it ensures, has been a h...

How AI turned a Ukrainian YouTuber into a Russian

How AI turned a Ukrainian YouTuber into a Russian “I don't want anyone to think that I ever said these horrible things in my life. Using a Ukrainian girl for a face promoting Russia. It's crazy.” Olga Loiek has seen her face appear in various videos on Chinese social media - a result of easy-to-use generative AI tools available online. “I could see my face and hear my voice. But it was all very creepy, because I saw myself saying things that I never said,” the 21-year-old, who studies at the University of Pennsylvania, told the BBC. The accounts featuring her likeness had dozens of different names like Sofia, Natasha, April, and Stacy. These “girls” were speaking in Mandarin - a language Olga had never learned. They were apparently from Russia, and talked about China-Russia friendship or advertised Russian products. “I saw like 90% of the videos were talking about China and Russia, China-Russia friendship, that we have to be strong allies, as well as advertisements for food.” O...

Mexico elects Claudia Sheinbaum as first woman president

Claudia Sheinbaum has been elected as Mexico's first woman president in an historic landslide win. Mexico's official electoral authority said preliminary results showed the 61-year-old former mayor of Mexico City winning between 58% and 60% of the vote in Sunday's election. That gives her a lead of almost 30 percentage points over her main rival, businesswoman Xóchitl Gálvez. Ms Sheinbaum will replace her mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, on 1 October. Ms Sheinbaum, a former energy scientist, has promised continuity, saying that she will continue to build on the "advances" made by Mr López Obrador. In her victory speech, she told voters: "I won't fail you." Her supporters are celebrating at the Zócalo, Mexico City's main square, waving banners reading "Claudia Sheinbaum, president". Prior to running for president, Ms Sheinbaum was mayor of Mexico City, one of the most influential political positions in the country ...
