INingizimu Afrika iyikhaya lezinhlobo eziningi zezinyoka, eziningi zazo zitholakala esifundeni saseNtshonalanga Kapa lapho i-Table Mountain ikhona. Nazi izibonelo ezimbalwa eziyinhloko zezinye zezinyoka ezivame kakhulu kanye/noma eziphawulekayo ezitholakala ezweni:
- I-Puff adder (Ama-bits ramming) – enkulu, inyoka enobuthi etholakala ezindaweni eziningi eningizimu ye-Afrika, okuhlanganisa neWestern Cape. Izinja ze-puff zinesibopho ngenani elikhulu lokufa kwabantu abalunywe yinyoka esifundeni.
- I-Boomslang (I-Dispholidus typus) – inyoka enobuthi obukhulu eyaziwa ngokuba nombala oluhlaza ogqamile kanye namehlo amakhulu. Ama-boomslang atholakala ezindaweni ezehlukene kulo lonke elaseNingizimu Afrika, okuhlanganisa neWestern Cape.
- Inyoka yaseKapa (Well, nivea) – uhlobo olunobuthi obukhulu bemfezi olutholakala ezindaweni eziningi eziseningizimu ne-Afrika, okuhlanganisa neWestern Cape. Izimfezi zaseKapa zaziwa ngokuhluka kwazo “isigqoko” ukubonisa futhi kungaba yingozi kakhulu kubantu.
- Rinkhals (I-hemachatus hemachatus) – uhlobo olunobuthi obukhulu be-spitting cobra etholakala ezindaweni eziningi eziseningizimu ne-Afrika, okuhlanganisa neWestern Cape. Ama-Rinkhal aziwa ngekhono lawo lokufafaza ubuthi emehlweni abahlaseli bawo, okubangela ubumpumputhe besikhashana.
- I-Berg adder (I-atropos encane) – encane, inyoka enobuthi etholakala ezindaweni zezintaba eNtshonalanga Kapa nakwezinye izingxenye ze-Afrika eseningizimu. Izinja ze-Berg zaziwa ngombala wazo ongaqondakali, okubasiza ukuthi bahlangane nendawo ebazungezile.
- I-Rhombic mutton stick (I-Psammophylax rhombus) – inyoka engenabo ubuthi etholakala kuyo yonke i-Afrika eseningizimu, okuhlanganisa neWestern Cape. Ama-skaaptekers e-Rhombic mancane futhi awanangozi, kodwa zivame ukubhekwa ngephutha njengezinyoka ezinobuthi ngenxa yokubukeka kwazo okufanayo.
Lezi izibonelo ezimbalwa ezinhle zezinhlobo eziningi zezinyoka ezitholakala eNingizimu Afrika. Nakuba izinyoka zingaba umthombo wokwesaba kubantu abaningi, ziyingxenye ebalulekile ye-ecosystem yemvelo futhi zisebenza njengezilwane ezizingelayo ezibalulekile nezilwane ezizingelayo ezindaweni eziningi eziphilayo.
