Kunezinhlobo zezinyoni ezingaba ngu-400, izilwane ezincelisayo ezingaba ngu-75 kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zezihlahla nezitshalo.

Ngesikhathi kuqashwa izivumelwano zeGrumeti Reserves ngonyaka ka-2003, inani lezilwane zasendle lancipha kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokunganeli kwezinqubo zokuphatha izilwane zasendle, kusho abagadi beReserves.

Inani lezinyathi lenyuka lisuka kumakhanda angama-600 ngo-2003 laya ku-3,815 ngonyaka ka-2008, kanti i-eland yenyuka isuka kumakhanda angama-250 yaya ku-1996 ngesikhathi esifanayo. Izindlovu, okuyizinhlobo ezisengozini yokushabalala kunezinye, zikhule zisuka ezilwaneni ezingama-355 zaya kumakhanda angama-900 ngo-2006.

Izindlulamithi ebezizingelwa njengenyama yasehlathini nazo sezinyukile zisuka kumakhanda angama-351 zaya ku-890 ngo-2008, impala icishe yaphindeka kabili isuka ku-7,147 yaya kumakhanda ayi-11,942 ngo-2011, izinhloko ezizingelwa inyama yasehlathini ziphindeke kathathu zisuka ku-5,705 zaya ku-16,477, kanti izilwane ezinhle ezi-2011 I-Thomson Gazelles inyuke isuka ku-3,480 yaya ku-22,606 ngo-2008.

I-cokes hartebeest inyuke isuka ku-189 ngo-2003 yaya ku-507 ngo-2008, ama-warthog anyuke esuka kumakhanda angama-400 aya ku-2,607 ngo-2009 njengoba izintshe zenyuka zisuka ku-250 ngo-2003 zaya ku-2607 ngo-2009.

Ngalokho kuza njengentshisekelo yokulondoloza umhlaba ngaphezu kwamandla awo okuxhasa izithakazelo zomuntu, kanye nokudalwa kobudlelwane beqiniso phakathi komuntu nezilwane, yizwe elinondla kokubili.
