I-alpaca, isilwane esinezinselo eziseNingizimu Melika, esomndeni waseCamelid. Namuhla izilwane ezincelisayo zibizwa ngokuthi ama-house lamas. Isici salesi silwane ijazi elijiyile, elithambile elilivumela ukuthi lihlale ezimweni ezinzima ezindaweni eziphakeme kakhulu. Isilwane somhlambi kunzima kakhulu ukusihlukanisa nezizukulwane zaso - i-llamas. Abanye abantu bama-subspecies ahlukene bangashadana. Umehluko kuphela phakathi kwama-alpaca ubukhulu bawo - izilwane ezincelisayo zincane kakhulu (uma kuqhathaniswa nama-llamas).
Incazelo ejwayelekile
Amalungu omndeni angenampumputhe akhula afike kuma-104 cm lapho ebuna. Ngokwesilinganiso, isisindo sesilwane sifinyelela kuma-65 kg. Izilwane ezincelisayo ezikhanyayo zidla kakhulu ekudleni kwezitshalo. Isici se-Alpaca ukungabikho kwamazinyo emihlathini engenhla. Ama-incisor aphansi akhula nge-engeli ethile, okwenza kube lula ukugunda utshani. Udebe olungaphezulu lunokwakheka okunamandla nesimo esinezimfoloko, njengaleso samakamela. Ngenkathi udla utshani obusikiwe, ama-incisors aphansi phansi, anekhono eliyingqayizivele lokukhula libe ngosayizi odingekayo.
Cishe kuzo zonke izinto ezikhanyayo, isisu sihlukaniswe izigaba ezine, kuma-alpaca - kwaba kathathu. Uhlelo lokugaya lwe-mammalian lusebenza kahle kakhulu. Abantu badla ukudla okweqile futhi okungenamsoco, abakuhlafunayo futhi kusihlwa. Ukondla umhlambi, udinga ihektha ledlelo.
Kulezi zinsuku, uboya be-alpaca busetshenziswa ngenkuthalo ukuthola izindwangu ezinhle.
Indlela yokuphila kanye nendawo yokuhlala
Ama-Alpaca ahlala emhlambini osebenza kakhulu emini. Endle, abantu bahlala endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-5000. Uma owesilisa noma owesifazane esele ngemuva kwezihlobo zabo, baqala ukwethuka, njengoba bezizwa bephephile kuphela namanye amalungu "omndeni". Umhlambi ngamunye uholwa yiduna le-alpha, umsebenzi walo ukunikeza izimpawu ezidingekayo lapho kutholakala ingozi. Umholi ubhonga kakhulu, ngaleyo ndlela amemezele i-alamu. Ngesikhathi sokulwa nanjengesivikelo, kusetshenziswa amagalelo anamandla ngezinselo zangaphambili, kanye nokukhafula.
Izindawo ezivame kakhulu zama-alpaca yiPeru, iChile, i-Andes, iBolivia. Izilwane zithanda ukuba phezulu ezintabeni, emahlathini nasogwini.
Ama-Artiodactyls ikakhulukazi adla i-silage ne-hay. Ikhambi lingumthombo ongcono kakhulu wezakhamzimba. Izilwane ezifuywayo zondliwa ngamaminerali, amavithamini, okusha, okuhlanganisiwe, ifolishi le-silage.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwe-alpaca
Isikhathi esivumelana kakhulu sokukhwelana phakathi kowesilisa nowesifazane (noma iqembu labesifazane) yintwasahlobo noma ekwindla. Abanikazi bangahlukanisa izilwane ezifuywayo nganoma yisiphi isikhathi sonyaka. Ukuthomba kuqala kakade ngonyaka wesibili wokuphila. Ukukhulelwa komuntu wesifazane kuthatha cishe izinyanga eziyi-11, ngemuva kwalokho kuzalwa iwundlu elilodwa kuphela (ezimweni ezingavamile kakhulu, ezimbili). Isisindo somntwana osanda kuzalwa asikho ngaphezu kwe-7 kg kanti ngehora ingane isezinyaweni zayo futhi ingalandela abantu abadala. Ukuvuselelwa ngemuva kokubeletha kowesifazane kuhlala isikhathi esingaphezu kwenyanga eyodwa, ngemuva kwalokho uphinde akulungele ukukhwelwa.
Ukondla umntwana osanda kuzalwa kungafinyelela ezinyangeni eziyisithupha. Ngalesi sikhathi, iwundlu iba yintsha futhi ngonyaka kunzima ukulihlukanisa nezilwane ezindala. Ngokwesilinganiso, ama-alpaca aphila kuze kube yiminyaka engama-20.
Izici ze-Alpaca
Isilwane esinezinselo ezinamahloni sinamahloni kakhulu futhi sihlakaniphile. I-Alpaca ayikhombisi ubudlova, ihamba kahle nabantu. Kuze kube sekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-21, izilwane ezincelisayo zazibizwa ngama-lamas. Isilwane saseNingizimu Melika sinama-subspecies amabili, iSuri neWakaya. Abamele abokuqala babhekwa njengabaluleke kakhulu, njengoba benoboya obude, obukhulu obukhulu bekhwalithi enhle kakhulu. Ama-Alpaca anqunywa ngemuva kweminyaka emibili yokuphila.
