I-Garden dormouse (lat. Eliomys quercinus) isilwane esincelisayo esincane futhi esibukeka kahle sohlelo lwamagundane. Ngokungafani nezihlobo zehlathi, alikwazi ukuhlala kuphela emahlathini e-oki, kodwa futhi nasezingadini ezindala. Ithole isidlaliso sayo ngenxa yokuthi ekupheleni kwekwindla, isisindile futhi isilungiselele izinto zasebusika, i-dormouse iya ebusika.
Uma sesisakazekile, namuhla le nduku evela emndenini kaSonyev iwela ngaphansi komkhakha wezinhlobo ezisengozini yokuqothulwa, ibhalwe kuRed Book lomhlaba wonke futhi iyavikelwa. Ngaphandle kokuthi emashumini ambalwa edlule inani lezilwane lehle kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezisempumalanga, zisabhekwa njengezilokazane, futhi kwezinye izindawo ziyadliwa nje.
Incazelo
Isisindo somzimba se-dormouse yensimu sisukela kwamashumi amane nanhlanu kuya kwikhulu lamagremu ayikhulu namashumi amane. Ubude obumaphakathi bomzimba bungu-10-17 cm, kanti umsila onesihlahla onentshakaza ekugcineni ucishe ulingane. Isifonyo sikhonjisiwe, ngamehlo nezindlebe ezinkulu.
Ijazi lelo lifushane, lithambile futhi liyathambile, lidaywe mpunga noma nsundu. Isisu, intamo, isifuba kanye ne-tarsi imvamisa iba mhlophe noma iphinki ngokukhanyayo ngombala. Umugqa omnyama usuka emehlweni nasemuva kwezindlebe, okubanikeza ukubonakala kwesela langempela, ngasikhathi sinye kube yisici esivelele se-dormouse yensimu.
Indawo nemikhuba
Uma sikhuluma ngenani labantu lomhlaba wonke we-dormouse engadini, khona-ke indawo yabo yokuhlala iphakathi nendawo, eningizimu-ntshonalanga yezwekazi laseYurophu, izifunda ezimaphakathi neziseningizimu ye-Afrika ne-Asia Minor.
Imvamisa bahlala emahlathini nasezivandeni ezihlwabusayo, behlomisa izindlu zabo eziyindilinga emagatsheni aminyene, emigodini, noma ezidlekeni ezilahliwe.
Ngaphambi kokuqala kwesimo sezulu esibandayo, bahlela izindawo zokufihla ubuthongo emigodini ephakathi kwezimpande zezihlahla, benakekela ukulondolozwa kokushisa ebusika. Ngesikhathi sokuwa, bathola isisindo esiphindwe kabili kunokwesilinganiso sama-2-3, ngaleyo ndlela baqoqe amafutha adingekayo ukuze basinde esikhathini sokulala isikhathi eside.
Ukudla okunomsoco
Ingadi dormouse kukhona omnivorous. Emini bavame ukulala, kuthi lapho kuqala ukuhwalala bahambe bayozingela. Ukudla kwazo okuyinhloko ukudla kwemvelaphi yezilwane. Noma ngabe kunenqwaba yezithelo namajikijolo, ngemuva kwesonto ekudleni kwemifino, bangawela esonweni. Abanye ososayensi bawaqaphele amaqiniso wokudla umuntu ngokushesha ngemuva kokuphuma ebusika. Kepha ake siqale ngokulandelana.
Ukudla ngokwemvelo kuncike endaweni yokuhlala. Ama-sleepyheads ahlala ezingadini awadeleli lutho. Bayakujabulela ukudla ama-apula, amapheya, amapentshisi, amagilebhisi kanye nama-cherries ngenjabulo. Uma sebesekamelweni lapho kugcinwa khona izimpahla zenkosi, bazonambitha isinkwa, ushizi nobisi ngenjabulo okusanhlamvu okukhona nendawo yokungena.
Noma kunjalo, izithelo zimnandi. Ukudla okuyinhloko ngamabhungane, izibungu, izimvemvane, izicabucabu, ama-centipedes, izikelemu neminenke. Amaqanda angajatshulelwa njengesibiliboco.
AbakwaSony bangabazingeli abahle abaphendula ngokushesha. Ngakho-ke, ama-vertebrate amancane, kufaka phakathi amagundane asendle nezinyoni, bavame ukuba yizisulu zabo.
Ngaphambi kokungena ebusika, izilwane azenzi amasheya, ngaphandle kwezimo ezingavamile.
Ukukhiqiza kabusha
Isikhathi sokuzalela egumbini lokulala engadini siqala ngokushesha ngemuva kokuvuka ebusika. Eziduna ziqala ukugijima zizungeze indawo, zishiya amamaki bese zihogela imikhondo yezinsikazi ezilungele ukukhwelana. Kungakhathalekile ukuthi yiphi indlela yasebusuku, amandla okuzala ashukumisela i-dormouse ukuba ifune ngenkuthalo umbhangqwana naphakathi nosuku.
Abesifazane babiza abesilisa ngempempe. Abesilisa baphendula ngohlobo lokuhhumuzela, okukhumbuza imisindo yeketela elibilayo. Akuvamile ukuthi amacala omona abonakale lapho abakhongi belwela ilungelo lokuba nentokazi yenhliziyo.
Amabili abunjelwa izinsuku ezimbalwa kuphela, khona-ke insikazi ishiya uyise wenzalo yayo bese iqala ukuhlomisa isidleke sayo, imvamisa ngaphezu kweyodwa. Ukukhulelwa kuthatha izinsuku ezingama-23, ngemuva kwalokho kuzalwa amawundlu amancane angama-4-6. Ngemuva kwamasonto amathathu, bavula amehlo abo, kuthi lapho benenyanga eyodwa baqale ukuzondla bodwa. Ekuqaleni, le brood ihamba ngeqembu. Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbili, insikazi ishiya amawundlu, ahlala ndawonye isikhathi esithile, bese ehlakazeka.
Ukuvikelwa kwezinombolo
Isizathu esiyinhloko sokwehla kwesibalo sabantu abahlala engadini dormouse ukunciphisa indawo yokuhlala - ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukuhlanzwa kwezihlahla ezingenalutho. Isici esibalulekile ukulwa namagundane, ngaphansi kwamatshe okusila okungagcini ngokuhlasela izinambuzane eziningi, kepha futhi nezinhlobo ezingavamile ziyawa.
Kubhalwe ku-Red Book, i-database ye-IUCN kanye ne-Annex III ye-Berne Convention.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, akukho zinyathelo ezikhethekile ezithathwayo ukuvikela nokwandisa inani labantu.
