Ngizokunikeza isiqephu encwadini kaMarty Essen ethi "Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents" futhi ngifuna uphendule umbuzo olandelayo: Zitholakala kuphi izimfudu zaseNtshonalanga Hermann?  Ngemva kokuchitha ubusuku ehhotela elikhulu, mina noDeb sahamba saya eningizimu-mpumalanga sicabanga ngezimpungushe. Uhlelo lwethu lwalungolwangalolusuku kwakuwukungena endaweni yaseMassif des Maures futhi sifune esinye sezilwane ezihuquzelayo ezisengozini enkulu kunazo zonke eFrance - ufudu lwaseNtshonalanga iHermann. Indawo yokuqala esama kuyo kwakuyiLe Village de Tortues (Idolobhana LaseTurtle), isikhungo sokuvuselela izikhumba eduze kwedolobha laseGonfaron. Umsebenzi wethu kwakuwukwakha ubungane nelungu labasebenzi, sifunde okuningi ngangokunokwenzeka, futhi sithole ukwaziswa okuningiliziwe mayelana nokulandelela ufudu lukaHermann olunobuqili endle. Lapho singatholi ilungu labasebenzi elikhuluma isiNgisi, umsebenzi wethu wacishe waphazamiseka. Kwakungenxa yokucabanga okusheshayo nokwenza izinto ngokushesha lapho sakwazi khona ukuthola ukwaziswa okubalulekile esasikudinga. Kulungile - sasebenzisa izimpawu ezinikezwe izivakashi zaseBrithani. Kubantu abaningi, igama elithi ufudu libenza bacabange ngofudu abakhulu baseGalapagos abanobude obuyi-1 m. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izimfudu zaseWestern Hermann zincane, zifinyelela ubude obungamamitha angu - 8 ubude. Nakuba zombili lezi zilwane ezihuquzelayo ziyingxenye yohlu lwe-IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, ufudu lwaseGalapagos lubalwa "njengolusengozini" kanti ufudu lwaseHermann olusentshonalanga lubalwa "njengolusengozini". EFrance, ukucekelwa phansi kwendawo yokuhlala, ukweba amaqanda, nomlilo kuyizici eziyinhloko ezibangela ukwehla kwezimpungushe.
Izimfudu zaseNtshonalanga Hermann zitholakala eMassif des Maures, indawo eseFrance. Zitholakala nasesikhungweni sokuvuselela izimfudu, iLe Village de Tortues, eduze kwaseGonfaron.
