Kana mazai achecheny’a, garwe rinotakura vana richivaendesa kumvura.
Zvisinei nekuwanda kwemazai anokandirwa, vazhinji vevana vegarwe havararame — maviri kana matatu bedzi ndiwo anopona zvekukura.
Garwe rinonyanyodya hove, zvisinei nekuti rinongobata chero charawana semhuka dzakaita sembizi, mombe, vana vemvuu, nungu, shiri kana mamwe makarwe. Huwandu hwechikafu chinodyiwa negarwe hunoenderana nekukura kwaro, asi vana varo vanodya tupukanana twemumvura sehove diki, matatya nezvimwe.
Zvichienderana nekukura, garwe rinotanga kutsvagawo chikafu chakawanda — naizvozvo rinovhima mhuka dzakurawo.
Garwe rinovhima mumvura kana kuti munzvimbo dziri pedyo nemadziva. Rinosiya muviri waro wose uri pasi pemvura zvishoma richimirira kubata charinodya, ndokunge mhuka kana munhu apinda mumvura, asi pamwe rinoita zvekukachikira chikafu kana chiri pedyo nedziva.
Mhuno, maziso nenzeve dzegarwe zviri nechepadenga pemusoro, izvo zvinoita kuti mumwe mutumbi waro ugare pasi pemvura. Garwe rinogona kugara pasi pemvura kwenguva inosvika maawa maviri risingafeme mweya wekunze.
