Siqaphele ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba inja yethu ngamanye amaxesha iyashukuma kwaye ishukumise iinyawo zayo xa ilele, ide ikhonkothe okanye incwina. Kwaye kukuba ngokweengcali, izinja zinomjikelo wokuphumla ofana kakhulu nowabantu, kubandakanya ubukho be amaphupha namaphupha amabi. Zenzeka ngexesha lesigaba esibizwa ngokuba yi-REM (Ukuhamba kwamehlo okukhawulezayo).
Oku kuchazwe zizifundo ezahlukeneyo, phakathi kwazo sibonisa ezo ziqhutywa yi-canine ethologist Igama loqhagamshelwano Stanley. Ngokwengcali, izinja ziphupha ngendlela efanayo neyethu, amaxesha atshintshanayo okuphumla nabanye bokuvuka. Kule meko, inqanaba le-REM lihlala malunga nemizuzu eli-10 ukuya kweli-15 kwaye liphindaphindwe malunga namaxesha amane ngobusuku.
Nangona oku kuxhomekeke kwi Iimpawu zohlobo ngalunye. Umzekelo, iSaint Bernard kukholelwa ukuba inamaphupha amade nalawo angafaniyo, ngelixa iScotland Terrier inexesha elifutshane lokulala.
Njengoko uCoren echazayo, ngokunikezela iipateni zethu zokulala ezifanayo, kunokwenzeka kakhulu ukuba banamaphupha afanayo nawethu; oko kukuthi, zibonisa imini yazo, uloyiko lwabo nokuzonwabisa. Bafumana ulwazi nge-olfactory, sound and visual stimuli, eguqulwa ibe ziingcinga ngalo msebenzi wobuchopho ungazibandakanyi.
Ewe nigthmares, Yiba nexesha elihlukileyo ngokuxhomekeke kwimeko kunye nendlela yokuphila kwenja nganye. Nangona siqaphela ukuba ziphindaphindwa rhoqo, zithintela isilwanyana sethu ukuba singaphumli, kufuneka siye kugqirha wezilwanyana ukuze siqonde ukuba la maphupha mabi abangelwa yingxaki yempilo.
Malunga nendlela yokwenza kwezi zihlandlo, eyona nto intle kakhulu yile masingasivusi isilwanyananjengokuba inokusiluma. Ngokufanelekileyo, siyabaphatha ngobunono kwaye sithethe ngetoni ephantsi de bazole. Kwelinye icala, ukubeka iithoyi zabo kwindawo yabo yokuphumla kuya kusinceda siphephe amaphupha amabi.
