I-loon ekhokhiswa ngamhlophe imele uhlobo olukhulu lwe-Loon. Kungokwama-Eukaryote, thayipha ama-Chordovs, ukuhleleka kwama-Loons, i-Family of Loons. Iphinde ibizwa ngokuthi i-polar loon enekhala elimhlophe noma emhlophe.
Incazelo
Ngokungafani nama-congener ayo, inomlomo omkhulu omhlophe ophuzi. Umbala uyefana ne-loon ekhokhiswa emnyama. Kodwa-ke, abantu abadala bezinhlobo ezethulwayo bakhonkotha ngekhanda elimnyama nentamo ngombala onsomi. Imivimbo emhlophe emide etholakala ezinhlangothini. Umthunzi ofanayo uyisici samabala amhlophe akha phezulu nasezinhlangothini zomphimbo.
Ukubukeka komshado kuba mnyama ekhanda, amabala amhlophe anemivimbo emnyama avela esifundeni somlomo wesibeletho. Izinduku zempaphe eyinhloko zimnyama eziqongweni. Ukubukeka kwesidleke kuthola iphethini ye-scaly, eyakhiwa ngenxa yemingcele emhlophe ye-apical.
Ukubonakala kokuqala kwamachwane aphansi kuhlukaniswa nokuqhamuka kombala onsundu onsundu. Ingubo elandelayo yephuphu ilula kunaleyo edlule. Ingaphansi lomzimba licishe libe mhlophe ngokuphelele. Ngenxa yokukhanyiswa okuphezulu komlomo, kulula kakhulu ukukhomba uhlobo lwazo nasebuntwaneni.
Ngesikhathi sokukhwelana, yenza umsindo omkhulu, ocacile, omuhle, okhumbuza ukuhleka kwemizwa noma ukukhala kwehhashi. Futhi kwesinye isikhathi ikhiqiza umsindo ophakeme, onqamulelayo ofana nokububula.
Indawo yokuhlala
Ububanzi bezinhlobo bukhulu kakhulu, njengochungechunge lwezindawo ezingaxhunyiwe. Isabalale ezindaweni ze-Arctic engxenyeni esenyakatho yamaphethelo aseYurophu nase-Asia. Ihlala ngasogwini lolwandle kanye ne-tundra enamagquma, lapho kunamachibi amaningi. Ngezinye izikhathi uhlala ehlathini-tundra.
Isimo esiyinhloko sempilo ejwayelekile ubukhona bemizimba yamanzi eduzane, lapho kunezinhlanzi eziningi khona. Ihlala emachibini amakhulu naphakathi nendawo ngamanzi acwebile. Izidleke zitshalwa ogwini olunesihlabathi namatshe.
Ukudla okunomsoco
Kuncane okwaziwayo ngokudla kwe-loon ekhokhiswa okumhlophe. Ngokuyinhloko izingela emachibini (kwesinye isikhathi olwandle). Uncamela inhlanzi. Ingadla nangezimbaza kanye nama-crustaceans. Imvamisa kuhlala ezindaweni lapho kunokudla okuncane, ngakho-ke kufanele undizele ezindaweni ezicebile. Endaweni eyodwa le nyoni ayichithi izinsuku ezingaphezu kwezingu-90.
Amaqiniso Athandekayo
- I-loon ekhokhiswa abamhlophe yiyona enkulu kunazo zonke ezinhlobo zayo. Isisindo sayo singafika ku-6.4 kg.
- Le nyoni iyodwa futhi iyizithandani ezinomlingani ofanayo impilo yayo yonke.
- Kwesinye isikhathi amatshe atholakala emathunjini ama-loon akhokhelwe amhlophe.
- Lezi zinhlobo zifakiwe ohlwini lwezinyoni ezifudukayo ezivikelwe futhi zivikelekile kwezinye izindawo ezigcinwa e-Arctic.
