Amathafa amakhulu namahlathi aphezulu eningizimu mpumalanga yeTopiya yizo kuphela izindawo emhlabeni lapho ungahlangana khona nalezi zigundane ezinkulu.
Lapha, emathangeni aminyene wezitshalo ezishisayo nezithambile, amagundane aseTopiya (lat.I-Tachyoryctes macrocephalus) hlala ngobuningi ngokuvamile wedlula abantu abayizinkulungwane ezimbili nesigamu ngekhilomitha ngayinye.
Futhi ukuze bazondle, bonke laba bafowethu abanomsila futhi abambekile bmba imigudu eminingi engaphansi komhlaba ngezinsuku zokugcina. Imvamisa, omunye umgubuli onjalo unamamitha angaphezu kwamashumi amahlanu ama-labyrinths angaphansi komhlaba.
Ukumba ama-labyrinths kwamagundane ase-Ethiopia yinto ebaluleke kakhulu. Ngokungafani nabamele iningi lomndeni wama-mole rat, angahlali nje kuphela, kodwa futhi adla ngaphansi komhlaba, amagundane ase-Ethiopia athola ukudla kwawo ngaphandle.
Kepha ukuze bajabulele izimpande zesitshalo abasithandayo, abakhethi indlela elula kunazo zonke: amagundane aseTopiya agaya umgwaqo oya esitsheni esihlelwe ngaphansi komhlaba. Njengoba sebekhuphukele phezulu, badla konke okukhula eduze komnyango wokuya emhubheni (kubathathe imizuzu engaba ngamashumi amabili), bese bebuyela endaweni yabo yokuhlala bese beyivalela ngaphakathi.
Okukhulu, kuze kube ngamasentimitha angama-25 ubude, izinduku ezimpunga ezimpunga kungukudla okuyinhloko kwezimpungushe zase-Ethiopia. Lezi zilwane ezinesineke ziyabekezela kakhulu futhi zithanda ukulinda ukuthula lapho kungene khona umgodi ziphishekela inyamazane. Amasu anjalo awasebenzi ngaso sonke isikhathi, ngoba impilo ifundise amagundane ukuba aqaphele ngangokunokwenzeka, futhi uma kwenzeka kuba nengozi yangempela, bebenganqikazi ukwethula izisusa zabo eziqinile, ezibukhali.
