AmaLark adume ngokucula kwabo okumnandi nokujabulisayo. Indawo yamapulazi nezinye izindawo ezivulekile ezinjengezinyumba nezindawo ezinotshani zihlinzeka ngezindawo ezifanele zokwakha izidleke nokondla ama-skylark unyaka wonke. Lesi ngesinye sezinhlobo eziningi zezinyoni eziphila emhlabeni wezolimo, isibalo sazo sesinciphile ngenxa yokusebenzisa amakhemikhali kwezolimo emazweni ase-Europe.
Incazelo yokubonakala kwe-lark
I-lark iyinyoni encane ensundu ene-crest, iphakela izidleke phansi isikhathi esiningi sempilo yayo. Likhulu kunondlunkulu, kodwa lincane kune-thrush.
Izinyoni ezindala zingu-18 kuye ku-19 cm ubude futhi zinesisindo esingu-33 kuye ku-45 gram. Amaphiko angamasentimitha angama-30 kuye kwangama-36.
Abesilisa bangaphandle bafana nabesifazane. Umzimba ophezulu ungumbala onsundu onemigqa onombala omnyama nomhlophe kuzimpaphe zomsila ezingaphandle ezibonakala ngesikhathi sokundiza.
Ingxenye engezansi yomzimba ibomvu futhi imhlophe, isifuba sigcwele izimpaphe ezinsundu. Uqhwaku lufushane futhi lwenzelwe ukuthola imbewu.
Izimpaphe ezinomugqa onsundu zomqhele ziphakanyiswa yi-lark, zakha isidlanyana. Ummango wezinyoni ezindala uyakhuphuka lapho i-lark iyaluza noma yethukile. Kubantu abangavuthiwe, amabala esikhundleni semivimbo ezimpapheni nase-crest ayikhuphuki.
AmaLark ahlala isikhathi esingakanani
AmaLarks akulungele ukuzala lapho eba nonyaka owodwa ubudala. Isilinganiso sobude besikhathi sokuphila yiminyaka emi-2. I-lark endala eqoshiwe yayineminyaka engu-9 ubudala.
Indawo yokuhlala
Zihlala unyaka wonke ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene ezivulekile ezinezimila eziphansi. Izindawo zokuhlala ezifanelekile zifaka:
- izindawo ezingenamanzi;
- heather meadows;
- izinkambu;
- amaxhaphozi;
- ama-peat bogs;
- izindunduma zesihlabathi;
- izizathu zezolimo.
Umhlaba wezolimo uyindawo yendabuko yama-skylark, izinyoni zibonakala emasimini alinywayo unyaka wonke. AmaLark angenye yezinhlobo ezimbalwa zezinyoni ezidla futhi zondle kuphela emasimini, kude kakhulu nezihlahla, uthango nezinye izitshalo ezide.
Izinsimu ezinkulu ezivulekile zezolimo zinikeza izidleke ezifanelekile nezindawo zokudla. Izimpaphe ezibuthuntu ze-skylark zinikeza ukufihla okuhle kakhulu kubhulashi elingaphansi futhi kwenza kube nzima ukubona izinyoni phansi.
Amalaki adlani
Ukudla okuyinhloko kwe-lark ehlobo yizinambuzane nezinye izinambuzane ezingenamgogodla ezifana nemisundu, izicabucabu neminenke.
Imbewu evela ukhula nokusanhlamvu (ukolweni nebhali), kanye namaqabunga ezitshalo (iklabishi), izinyoni zidla ebusika. AmaLark adla amaqabunga okhula nezitshalo uma umhlaba olimekayo ungenayo imbewu nokunye ukudla okufanele.
Ebusika, ama-lark adla emhlabathini ongenalutho emasimini anezimila ezincane eziphansi, izinkambu ezilimekayo, amaxhaphozi, izimfunda nezinhlanga. AmaLarks ahamba futhi agijime, angagxumi, futhi kuvame ukubonakala efuna ukudla.
Ihlala kuphi ilark emhlabeni
Lezi zinyoni zihlala eYurophu nasenyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-Afrika, eNyakatho Asia naseChina. Izinhlobo zasenyakatho zabantu zifudukela ngaseningizimu ngenkathi ebandayo eMedithera, eMiddle East nase-Asia Ephakathi. Izinyoni ezisuka eningizimu yeYurophu zindiza ibanga elifushane lapho ukudla kwesizini okuphele ngezikhathi ezithile sekuphelile.
Izitha zemvelo
Izilwane eziyinhloko:
- uthando;
- izimpungushe;
- oklebe.
Lapho izwa ingozi, i-lark:
- ugijimela endaweni yokukhosela;
- iqina endaweni;
- iwele phansi.
Uma usongo luphikelela, i-lark iyasuka ngokushesha bese indizela endaweni ephephile.
Izinyoni zihlanza kanjani izimpaphe zazo ukungcola nezinambuzane
I-lark yasensimini ayikaze igeze emifudlaneni noma emizimbeni yamanzi. Le nyoni inakekela izimpaphe lapho kunezimvula ezinkulu noma iqengqeleka othulini nesihlabathi esixegayo ukuze isuse izimuncagazi.
