Izilwane ezincelisayo ezimangalisa kakhulu ezivela emndenini wepanda. Kwakungelula ukuhlukanisa lesi silwane. Isilwane sinezici ze-marten, ibhere elidlayo kanye ne-raccoon. Isilwane asisikhulu kunekati elikhulu ngosayizi, esathola ngalo isidlaliso “ipanda". Ama-pandas amancane anesisindo esisuka ku-4 kuye ku-6 kilograms. Umzimba uvuleke ngomlomo ocijile. Ekhanda kunezindlebe ezincane futhi eziyindilinga. Amehlo amnyama qwa. Umzimba wesilwane ubomvu ngombala, ugeleza ube mnyama engxenyeni engezansi yomzimba. Ikhanda libomvu ngamachashazi amhlophe afana nombala we-raccoon.
Ukubukeka okuhle nobuso bamathoyizi balesi silo kudumile emhlabeni wonke. Ngenxa yoboya bayo, ipanda elibomvu lithole isidlaliso "ipanda elibomvu". Futhi eChina lo mmeleli ubizwa ngokuthi "i-fire fox". Imilenze yesilwane imifushane ngezinzipho ezibukhali. Njengezinhlobo ezinkulu ze-panda, le mpungushe yomlilo yathola umunwe owengeziwe ukuyisiza ngobuciko iphathe izingongolo zoqalo. I-Clubfoot gait, inyakaza incike esidladleni esisodwa futhi ngezikhathi ezithile inikine ikhanda ezinhlangothini. Lokhu kunyakaza kufana nokuhamba kwebhere.
Ngokokuqala ngqa, lesi silwane satholakala eChina ngekhulu lesi-8. Futhi ososayensi baseYurophu bathola ipanda elincane kuphela ngekhulu lama-21.
Ihlala kuphi ipanda elibomvu?
Ungahlangana kuphi nalesi silo esimangalisayo? IPanda yazalelwa eningizimu-mpumalanga yezintaba zeHimalaya endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha acishe abe ngu-4000. Indawo yokuhlala kwepanda elincane incane kakhulu. Ungabathola ezifundazweni zase-Yunnan naseSichuan eChina, enyakatho yeBurma nasenyakatho-mpumalanga ye-India. Okhokho balolu hlobo bangatholakala ezindaweni zaseMpumalanga Yurophu naseNyakatho Melika. Kukholakala ukuthi ukushintsha kwezimo zezulu kuholele ekuqothulweni kwalezi zinhlobo. Ama-panda abomvu awakwazi ukumelana nesimo sezulu esishisayo esomile. Bahlala ezindaweni ezinamazinga okushisa angekho ngaphezu kwama-degree angama-25.
Okudlayo
Leli bhere elihle elingelasesigabeni sezilwane ezidlayo, kepha naphezu kwalokhu, londla kuphela ekudleni kwezitshalo. Njengama-pandas amakhulu, izimpungushe ezincane ezibomvu zithanda uqalo. Iziqu zalesi sitshalo zenza u-90% wokudla kwezilwane. Kuyaqabukela ngokudlulele ukuthi bashintshele kumakhowe noma amajikijolo, futhi kaningi kakhulu bangadla izidumbu zamagundane. Njengomthetho, ukwehluka ekudleni kwama-panda amancane kuvela ngokushintshela ebusika, ngenxa yesidingo esandayo sezakhamzimba. Impilo yonke yalesi silwane incishiselwa enqubeni yokudla uqalo nokuphumula. IPanda elibomvu linikela ngamahora ayi-13 ngosuku ekudleni.
Isikhathi sokukhwelana
Isikhathi sokukhwelana kwama-panda amancane siqala ngoJanuwari. Isikhathi sokumitha sowesifazane sisukela ezinsukwini ezingama-45 kuye kwezingu-90. Futhi ukukhula kombungu uqobo kuthatha izinsuku ezingama-50 kuphela futhi kuqala isikhathi eside ngemuva kokukhwelana. Imvamisa lesi simo sibonakaliswa ukukhubazeka kombungu. Lapho ikhulelwe, insikazi iqala ukulungisa isidleke ngamagatsha namaqabunga ahlukahlukene. Uzama ukwakha izidleke endaweni ethulile, imvamisa imifantu yamadwala nemigodi ehlukahlukene yezihlahla. Ipanda elibomvu lizala izinyane elilodwa noma amabili. Izingane zizalwa zingaboni ngokuphelele futhi zingezwa. Azinesisindo esingeqile ku-100 amagremu.
Amawundlu abomvu epanda
Izinsikazi ziyaxabana nezingane zaso zonke izinyanga ezintathu. Ngalesi sikhathi, ama-panda amancane ayakwazi ukuzondla ngokwawo futhi ashiye isidleke. Bahlukaniswe nomama kuphela ngokuvela kukadoti omusha. Ngenxa yesikhathi sokuvuthwa esivinjelwe, ama-pandas aphoqeleka ukuthi aphile emihlambini. Abantu abadala ngokweqiniso bangabizwa ngama-pandas aneminyaka emibili kuya kwengu-3.
Ukuziphatha nendlela yokuphila
Lawa ma-panda abomvu ayasebenza kusihlwa. Izilwane zichitha isikhathi esiningi ezihlahleni. Lapho bacasha lapho kuvela ingozi. Kepha ukuthola ukudla bayaphoqeleka ukuthi behlele emhlabeni. Isilwane siqala usuku lwaso ngokuhlanza uvolo. Ibekezelela isimo sezulu esishisayo emthunzini emagatsheni ezihlahla. Ingacasha emigodini uma izinga lokushisa lomoya liphansi.
Ama-pandas amancane axhumana esebenzisa imisindo ekhumbuza inyoni itshiyoza.
Lezi zinhlobo ze-panda zikhetha indlela yokuphila enesizungu. Kugwema ukuxhumana okusondelene nezinye izilwane. Imaka indawo yayo ngoketshezi olukhethekile olusemaphepheni.
Isikhathi sokuphila
Isikhathi esiphilwa yisilwane asidluli eminyakeni eyi-10. Kwesinye isikhathi kunabantu abaneminyaka eyikhulu nanhlanu. Ngenxa yesimo sabo sokuzola, ama-panda akhululekile ukuhlala ekuthunjweni. Ngokufinyelela njalo emthonjeni wokudla, ama-panda amancane angahlala kuma-zoo aze afike eminyakeni eyi-18 ubudala. Isizathu sokufa kwabo kusenesikhathi ngabantu nezilwane ezidliwayo.
Buka isimo
Umnikazi woboya be-chic uhlala ephoqeleka ukuthi abe sengozini. Abantu bendawo bajaha izilwane ukusebenzisa uboya bazo ukwenza izesekeli. Futhi amasiko esifundazwe saseYunnan abheka ukuthi uboya besilwane esibomvu bungusiyazi bokuphila komndeni. Akumangalisi ukuthi izilwane ezinhle zafakwa eRed Book njengezilwane ezisengozini yokuqothulwa. Yize kunesibalo esincane sezitha esimweni sokuzingelwa, inani labantu bama-pandas amancane alikho ngaphezu kwezinkulungwane eziyishumi.
Ukuqedwa kwamahlathi okusatshalaliswayo kusongela ukuthuthukiswa kwenani le-panda. Ezintabeni zaseHimalaya, inani labo lehle ngaphezu kwengxenye yesithathu.
Ukusindisa lezi zinhlobo ekuqothulweni okungenzeka kube khona, inani elikhulu lama-zoo lithatha izilwane ezizogcinwa. Futhi abanye abameleli baye bathanjiswa kakhulu ukuthi bangatholakala njengezilwane ezifuywayo.
