USalonga ungenye yezilwane ezingavamile futhi ezivikelekile ezisohlwini lweRed Book. Lezi yizilwane ezincane kakhulu, ezinhle futhi ezinamanzi. Yize zibukeka zingenangozi, izilwane ezincelisayo ziyizilwane ezidla ezinye futhi ziyakwazi ukubulala isilwane esikhudlwana izikhathi eziningana kunaso. Ungahlangana nommeleli wama-mustelids eRussia, China nakwamanye amazwe ase-Asia. Kunezinhlobo eziningi ze-salmon, ezihlukile ngombala woboya bazo.
Incazelo ejwayelekile
USolongoy ubukeka efana kakhulu nemarten. Ubukhulu besilwane buyahluka kusuka ku-21 kuye ku-28 cm, umsila wesilwane esincelisayo ukhula ufike ku-15 cm.Isisindo esiphelele sesilwane asidluli ku-370 g Abesifazane balo mndeni bancane kancane kunabesilisa.
Izici zesaloon yimilenze emifushane, umzimba oguquguqukayo, ogobile, umsila ophuzi, uboya obukhulu futhi obufushane. Isidalwa esihle sinokufana okuthile nama-ferrets. Isici sezilwane ezingavamile yikhono lokushintsha uboya kusuka ehlobo kuye ebusika futhi okuphambene nalokho. Umbala wezinwele ungaba ngumnqumo, ube nsundu futhi ube sandy-buffy.
Ukuziphatha nokuzondla
USolongoy yisilwane esisebenzayo esisebenza njalo. Izilwane zibhukuda kahle, ziyakwazi ukugijima ngokushesha, zikhuphuke izihlahla, zisebenzisa uzipho olubukhali ukuze zibambelele ngokuqinile esiqwini nasemagatsheni. Kokubili imini nobusuku, izilwane ezincelisayo zifuna ukudla. Ngenkathi ebandayo, umsebenzi uba nzima kakhulu, ngoba i-solongoi ingangena emakhaya abantu futhi ilimaze amasheya nezinkukhu.
Ngokushesha nje lapho i-saltfish izwa ingozi, izama ukucasha endaweni yokukhosela ephephile. Uma ingekho into enjalo eduze, isilwane sikhipha imisindo ethile efana nokuhayiza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isilwane sikhipha iphunga elibi. AmaSolongoi awakhi izindlu zokuhlala unomphela, angakhetha noma iyiphi indawo ayithandayo yokuphumula.
Izilwane zivame ukudla amagundane amancane asensimini, izingwejeje ezisemhlabathini, amaqanda, amaxoxo, iminenke, ama-hamsters, onogwaja namachwane.
Ukuzalela izilwane
I-saltfish yesilisa ingumphikisi onolaka nobungcweti. Ngesikhathi sokukhwelana, abesilisa bayalwa bodwa futhi bangaze babulale imbangi yabo. Ukukhulelwa kowesifazane kuhlala cishe izinsuku ezingama-50. Ngalesi sikhathi, umama okhulelwe ufuna indawo yokwakha isidleke (umgodi, umgodi, indawo yokuhlala elahliwe). Kusuka ku-1 kuye ku-8 imidlwane ezalwa, ezalwa ingaboni futhi icishe inqunu. Izinyanga ezimbili izingane zondla ngobisi lukanina, ngemuva kwalokho ziqala ukufunda ukuzingela nokuzimela.
