IMatamata (isiLatin Chelus fimbriatus) noma ufudu olunamaphethelo ufudu lwasemanzini lwaseNingizimu Melika oluvela emndenini wofudu olunentamo yezinyoka, oludume ngokubonakala kwalo okungajwayelekile. Yize engenasimilo futhi efuyiwe, ukubukeka kwakhe nokuziphatha okuthakazelisayo kwenza ufudu luthandwe kakhulu.
Lufudu olukhulu futhi lungafinyelela kuma-45 cm futhi lube nesisindo esingu-15 kg. Udinga imfudumalo namanzi ahlanzekile. Yize izimfudu ezinemiphetho ziqinile ngokwanele, amanzi angcolile ngokushesha ayazigulisa.
Ukuphila emvelweni
UMatamata uhlala emifuleni yamanzi angenasawoti eNingizimu Melika - i-Amazon, i-Orinoco, i-Essequibo, edabula iBolivia, iBrazil, iColombia, i-Ecuador, iPeru, neVenezuela. Futhi uhlala esiqhingini saseTrinidad naseTobago.
Inamathela ezansi, izindawo ezinemisinga ebuthakathaka, udaka. Uhlala emifuleni, emaxhaphozini nakumahlathi emango.
Esikhundleni sekhala, i-proboscis imvumela ukuba aphefumule, acwiliswe ngokuphelele emanzini. Unendlebe nokuthinta okuhle kakhulu, futhi amaseli akhethekile entanyeni yakhe amvumela ukuba ezwe ukunyakaza kwamanzi ukukhomba izinhlanzi.
Imvamisa ufudu lulele ngaphansi komfula ogeleza kancane, luhamba kancane kangangokuba ulwelwe lukhule entanyeni nasesigobolondweni.
Kanye nomphetho, bamnika ukufihla okuhle. Isisulu sisondela, ufudu luyibamba ngempahla eyingqayizivele.
Uvula umlomo ngejubane elikhulu kangangokuba umfudlana wamanzi ogijimela kuwo udonsela ezinhlanzini njengefele. Imihlathi iyavaleka, amanzi akhafule, inhlanzi igwinye.
Igobolondo lokuzifihla nelilukhuni liyamsindisa ezilwaneni ezidla i-Amazon ezicebile.
Incazelo
Lolu ufudu olukhulu, olungafika ku-45 ku-carapace. Ungaba nesisindo esingu-15 kg. I-carapace (ingxenye ephezulu yegobolondo) ayijwayelekile kakhulu, inolaka, inokukhula okuhlukahlukene kwepiramidi. Ikhanda likhulu, liyisicaba futhi lingunxantathu, ekugcineni kwalo kunenqubo eguqukayo yamakhala.
Unomlomo omkhulu kakhulu, amehlo akhe mancane futhi asethwe asondele ekhaleni. Intamo mncane, yinde inomphetho ogcwele.
Abantu abavuthiwe ngokobulili bayahluka ngokuthi owesilisa uneplastron ehlanganisiwe, futhi umsila mncane futhi mude. Kwabesifazane, i-plastron ilingana, futhi umsila ufushane ngokuphawulekayo.
I-plastron yezimfudu ezindala iphuzi futhi nsundu. Izingane ezisanda kuzalwa zikhanya kunabantu abadala.
Ayikho imininingwane eqondile mayelana nesikhathi sokuphila, kepha bayavuma ukuthi uMatamata uphila isikhathi eside. Izinombolo ezisukela eminyakeni engama-40 kuye kwengama-75, ngisho kuze kufike kwezikhulu zibizwa ngamagama.
Ukondla
Omnivorous, kepha ikakhulukazi idla ukudla okuphilayo. Udinga ukunikeza i-goldfish, ama-platies, ama-mollies, ama-guppies, izikelemu zomhlaba, ama-molluscs, amagundane kanye nezinyoni. Ungondla ngokumane ufake izinhlanzi eziyishumi nambili e-aquarium, ngoba kuzoba nzima kuye ukuthi ayibambe, futhi uma enokukhetha, iMatamata izobabamba ngokulinganayo.
Ukondla izinhlanzi eziphilayo:
Ukuhamba kancane (ungabona ukuthi umlomo wakhe usebenza kanjani)
Okuqukethwe
Njengoba ufudu lukhula lukhulu, i-aquaterrarium ebanzi iyadingeka ukuze igcinwe. Kuliqiniso, akayena umzingeli okhuthele njengezinye izinhlobo zofudu, futhi amancane naphakathi nendawo angahlala emanzini angama-200-250 litre.
Into ebaluleke kakhulu kokuqukethwe yikhwalithi nemingcele yamanzi. I-asidi kufanele ibe phansi, cishe i-pH 5.0-5.5, ngokufakwa kwe-peat noma amaqabunga omuthi awile.
Izinguquko zamanzi ezijwayelekile ezidingekayo nesihlungi esinamandla. Izinga lokushisa lamanzi lingu-28 ... + 30 ° C futhi lizinzile unyaka wonke.
Abanye abayizimfundamakhwela banciphisa kancane izinga lokushisa ngesikhathi sokuwa, ukuze ebusika ufudu lungaphefumuli umoya obandayo futhi lungatholi inyumoniya.
E-aquarium enofudu olunemiphetho, inhlabathi kufanele ibe nesihlabathi ukuze ingalimazi i-plastron futhi kube lapho kufanele utshale khona izitshalo.
Ukuhlobisa kukhuni lwe-drift, futhi izitshalo, ngenhlanhla kokuzilibazisa kwe-aquarium, izitshalo eziningi zivela e-Amazon. Yize bechitha iningi lempilo yabo emanzini, abakasebenzi, isikhathi esiningi balala ezansi.
Ukukhanyisa - ngosizo lwesibani se-UV, yize i-matamata ingezi olwandle ukuze ifudumale, ukukhanya kunikeza ukushisa okwengeziwe futhi kukuvumela ukuthi ukubone.
Njengazo zonke izimfudu zasemanzini, i-matamata idinga ukugcinwa isezingeni eliphansi. Udinga ukuwacosha kuphela ukuze uwahlanze noma uwadlulisele kwenye i-aquaterrarium, kepha hhayi ukudlala ngokuzungezile.
Izimfudu ezincane ngokuvamile ziyimfihlo kakhulu futhi ziyacindezeleka uma othile ebaphazamisa emanzini. Ngokuvamile, udinga ukubathinta kanye ngenyanga, ukubheka ukuthi azikho yini izinkinga zempilo.
Ukukhiqiza kabusha
Ekuthunjweni, cishe ayizali, kuphela amacala ambalwa aphumelelayo aziwayo.
Ngokwemvelo, insikazi izalela amaqanda angaba ngu-200 futhi ayinandaba nawo. Amaqanda ngokuvamile anzima, kanti izimfudu eziningi zithambile.
