AmaCassowaries yizinyoni ezinkulu ezingenazindiza. Bangamalungu ahlukile omndeni wabo. Igama lale nyoni, elihunyushwe lisuselwa olimini lwase-Indonesia, lisho ukuthi "ikhanda elinezimpondo".
Incazelo
Namuhla, kukhona ama-subspecies amathathu ale nyoni: i-cassowary ejwayelekile noma yaseningizimu, i-muruk ne-orange-necked. Wonke ama-cassowaries anenqenqemeni lwama-horny emakhanda awo, okuthiwa yi-helmet. Inhloko nentamo uqobo azinazo izimpaphe futhi zinombala wesikhumba ohlaza okwesibhakabhaka noluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, futhi ngecici elisentanyeni ungabona kalula ukubukeka. UMuruk akanayo, icici eline-orange linentamo eyodwa, kanti i-cassowary ejwayelekile inamabili. Uphaphe emzimbeni we-cassowary lumnyama, ucishe ube mnyama. Imilenze yalezi zinyoni iqine ngendlela eyisimanga futhi ineminwe emithathu lapho kunezinzipho ezibukhali eziyingozi khona, usongo olukhulu uzipho lwangaphakathi (i-cassowary ingayibulala ngokunyakaza okukodwa).
I-cassowary ejwayelekile (C. i-casuarius)
I-cassowary enentamo e-orenji (C. unappendiculatus)
I-Cassowary muruk (C. bennetti)
Isisindo senyoni sifinyelela kuma-kilogram angama-60. Abesifazane balolu hlobo bakhulu kakhulu. Kulula kakhulu ukwehlukanisa kwabesilisa ngophaphe lwabo olukhanyayo nesigqoko sokuzivikela esikhulu.
Indawo yokuhlala
AmaCassowaries angabahlali basehlathini. Bahlala kuphela ehlathini lemvula laseNew Guinea, kanye nasezindaweni ezisenyakatho-mpumalanga ye-Commonwealth yase-Australia. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi indawo yokuhlala yalezi zinhlobo ezintathu ihlangana kancane, kepha izinyoni zizama ukugwema ukuhlangana okungafani. Yingakho zihlala ezindaweni eziphakeme ezingafani. Isibonelo, imuruk ihlala emahlathini asezintabeni eziphakeme; I-cassowary enentamo ewolintshi ithanda amahlathi ezindaweni eziphansi (eziphansi), kanti i-cassowary eseningizimu ithanda amahlathi endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-1000.
Futhi, i-cassowary ingatholakala eziqhingini ezakhelene neNew Guinea: I-Aru neSeram (lapho ungathola i-cassowary ejwayelekile); UMuruk wazinza eziqhingini zaseNew Britain naseYapen; futhi esiqhingini saseSalavati kukhona ama-cassowaries anentambo ewolintshi.
Okudlayo
Iningi lokudla kwe-cassowary liqukethe izithelo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izithelo zingawa noma zihluthulwe emagatsheni aphansi ezihlahla noma ezihlahleni. Ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zomile, ihlathi ligcwele izithelo eziwile futhi lesi isikhathi esihle kakhulu se-cassowary.
Ukwenzela ukungabikho kwamaprotheni emzimbeni, ama-cassowaries afaka amakhowe ahlukahlukene asehlathini, kanye nezilwane ezihuquzelayo ezahlukahlukene, ekudleni kwabo. Isibonelo, izinyoka, amaselesele kanye nezibankwa ezincane zitholakale esiswini se-cassowary.
Ukuze ugaye kangcono ukudla, ama-cassowaries, njengezinye izinyoni eziningi, agwinya amatshe amancane (okuthiwa ama-gastroliths).
Izitha zemvelo
Emvelweni wayo wemvelo, i-cassowary ayinazitha ngenxa yobukhulu bayo nemilenze enamandla, okwenza kube ngumphikisi oyingozi kakhulu.
Naphezu kokuvikelwa okuhlaba umxhwele, i-cassowary yabantu abadala isenesitha esisodwa - indoda. Futhi lokhu kuxhumene hhayi kuphela nokugawulwa kwamahlathi (indawo yawo yemvelo). Izizwe zizingela ama-cassowaries ukuze zithole inyama emnandi nezimpaphe ezinhle. Izingubo zenziwe ngezimpaphe, ezisetshenziswa njengomhlobiso. Izinhloko zemicibisholo zenziwa ngozipho olubukhali futhi oluqinile, futhi amathambo emilenze asetshenziselwa ukwenza amathuluzi.
Ngokuzalela amaqanda namachwane asanda kuchanyuselwa, izinja zasendle kanye nezingulube kungadala usongo futhi kungabhubhisa kalula isidleke.
Amaqiniso Athandekayo
- UCassowaries ungene eGuinness Book of Records njengenyoni eyingozi kakhulu emhlabeni wethu.
- AmaCassowaries ayamangalisa ngoba konke ukunakekelwa kwenzalo yesikhathi esizayo kulele kowesilisa. Okokuqala, uqoqa isidleke emaqabungeni nasemahlathini awile, bese kuthi owesifazane abeke lapho amaqanda ambalwa aluhlaza (isisindo seqanda ngalinye singahluka kusuka kumagremu angamakhulu ayisithupha kuye kumakhulu ayisikhombisa). Ngemuva kwalokho eyeduna ifukamela inzalo izinyanga ezimbili, bese kuthi cishe unyaka nengxenye ivikele inzalo futhi iyifundise ukuzitholela ukudla.
- AmaCassowaries angabagijimi abahle kakhulu. Ngaphandle kokuthi bahlala ehlathini, bangafinyelela kalula isivinini esifinyelela ku-50 km / h, futhi bagxume ngaphezu kwezihlahla eziyi-1.5 ngaphandle kobunzima obukhulu.
