Kulesi sifunda esinezimbali nezilwane eziphakeme kakhulu, kunezinhlobo eziyi-11 zezinyoni ezikhona, cishe ama-subspecies ayi-100 kanye nalezo ezingaphezu kweziyi-100. Ngalesi sizathu, izinyoni zikhanga abathandi bemvelo; Ngaphezu kwalokho, isimo sezulu esifudumele esinenkathi eyomile nesikhathi sonyaka semvula sinomthelela ekwakhekeni okukhethekile kwezinyoni zombuso, okuvumela ukukhetha isikhathi esihle sokuthola uhlobo oluthile.

Ngosizo lwezibonakude sathola into ethakazelisa kakhulu, isichibi esinsundu esimnyama eduze kwaleli koloni, kwakuwumhlambi wezinkukhu ezingama-60 kuya ku-70 ze-flamingo, into enzima ukuyibona, ngoba lezi zinyoni azinabo ubungani, zizala ezindaweni ezingafinyeleleki, i-clutch yazo liphansi futhi bavame ukuphazanyiswa yiziphepho ezishisayo, abantu ngisho namajaguar.
Ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho, ngenkathi sijabulela isitsha esimnandi sokudla kwasolwandle e-Isla Contoy palapa, sabala: sahambela ingxenye yesifundazwe futhi sabona izinhlobo ezingaba ngu-200 zezinyoni, yize into enhle kakhulu kwakuwukuncoma izinhlobo zezimpawu zaseningizimu-mpumalanga, i-flamingo kanye nezingane zayo, esikwaziyo namuhla ukuthi ngonyaka ozayo, abanye bazobamba iqhaza kulo mbukiso.
