I-Aardvark mhlawumbe iyisilwane esimangalisa kakhulu futhi esingajwayelekile ezwenikazi lase-Afrika. Izizwe zasendaweni zibiza i-aardvark abu-delaf, ehumushele kwimisindo yaseRussia efana "nobaba wezinzipho."
Incazelo
Labo abaqala ukubona i-aardvark bayichaza kanjena: izindlebe ezinjengonogwaja, ingulube yengulube, nomsila onjengekhangaru. I-aardvark endala ifinyelela imitha elilodwa nohhafu ngobude, futhi umsila wayo onamandla nonemisipha ungafinyelela kumasentimitha angama-70 ubude. Ama-aardvark abantu abadala angaphezulu kancane kwesigamu semitha ukuphakama. Isisindo sika-Abu Delaf sifinyelela kumakhilogremu ayikhulu. Umzimba wesilwane umbozwe ama-bristles aqinile ansundu. Isifonyo se-aardvark sinwetshiwe ngezinwele eziningi ezinde nezinzima ezithintekayo (vibrissae), futhi ekugcineni kunesiqeshana esinamakhala ayindilinga. Izindlebe ze-Aardvark zikhula zifike kumasentimitha angama-20. Futhi, i-aardvark inamathele nolimi olude.
I-aardvark inezitho ezinamandla. Emilenzeni yangaphambili kunezinzwane ezine ezinezinzipho ezinamandla nezide, kanti emilenzeni yangemuva kunezinhlanu. Ngesikhathi sokumba izimbobo nokuthola ukudla, i-aardvark ihlala ngokuphelele ezinyaweni zangemuva ukuzinza okukhulu.
Indawo yase-Aardvark
Njengamanje, i-aardvark itholakala kuphela ezwenikazi lase-Afrika, eningizimu yeSahara. Ekukhetheni indawo yokuhlala, i-aardvark ayithobeki, kepha kuleli zwekazi igwema amahlathi aminyene enkabazwe, amaxhaphozi nezindawo ezinamadwala, ngoba kunzima ukumba lapho.
I-aardvark iyanethezeka e-savannah nasezindaweni ezinamanzi amaningi ngesikhathi semvula.
Okudlayo i-aardvark
Ama-Aardvark yizilwane zasebusuku futhi ngesikhathi sokuzingela ahlanganisa izindawo ezinkulu, cishe amakhilomitha ayi-10-12 ngobusuku bonke. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi i-aardvark ihamba ezindleleni esezaziwa yona uqobo. I-Aardvark iqhubekela phambili, igobisa isifonyo sayo phansi, futhi imemeza kakhulu umoya (ukuhogela) ifuna izintuthwane nomuhlwa, okuyizinto ezidla kakhulu. Futhi, i-aardvark ayizinqabi izinambuzane, nazo ezakhasa zaphuma emigodini yazo zifuna ukudla. Lapho isilwane esifiselekayo sitholakala, i-aardvark iphula indawo yokukhosela noma izintuthwane ngezidladla zayo zangaphambili ezinamandla. Ngamathe amade, anamathelayo, ulimi, uqoqa izinambuzane ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngobusuku obubodwa, i-aardvark iyakwazi ukudla izinambuzane ezingaba yizinkulungwane ezingama-50.
Njengomthetho, ngenkathi eyomile, ama-aardvark adla kakhulu ezintuthwaneni, kepha umuhlwa uncamela ukudla ngesikhathi sonyaka semvula.
Izitha zemvelo
Lesi silwane esincane esihle sinezitha eziningi endaweni yaso yemvelo, ngoba i-aardvark iyindida futhi ihamba kancane.
Ngakho-ke izitha eziyinhloko zezimpawu zabantu abadala zifaka ibhubesi nengulule, kanye nabantu. Izinja zempisi zivame ukuhlasela i-aardvark.
Njengoba i-abu-delaf iyisilwane esinamahloni kakhulu, engozini encane, noma kunalokho ngisho nokusikisela okuyingozi, ngokushesha ucasha emgodini wakhe noma azingcwabe ngaphansi komhlaba. Kodwa-ke, uma ingekho indlela yokuphuma noma isitha sesinyonyobele eduze kakhulu ne-aardvark, singakwazi ukuzivikela ngempumelelo ngezinzipho zaso zangaphambili.
Kwabasha, amaphuphu ayingozi enkulu.
Amaqiniso Athandekayo
- Ososayensi babheka i-aardvark njengezidalwa eziphilayo, ngoba ukwakheka kofuzo lwakudala kugcinwe kahle kakhulu, futhi uhlobo lwayo lubhekwa njengesinye sezidala kakhulu ezincelisayo ze-infraclass placental.
- Ngenxa yesakhiwo esikhethekile sekhala, i-aardvark ihogela ngomsindo kakhulu noma ibubula ngokuthula. Kodwa lapho isilwane sithuke kakhulu, sikhala kakhulu.
- Abesifazane bathwala amawundlu cishe izinyanga eziyisikhombisa. I-Aardvark izalwa cishe isisindo samakhilogremu amabili nengxenye yemitha ubude. Ithole lishintshela ekudleni okuyinhloko kuphela ngemuva kwezinyanga ezine. Ngaphambi kwalokho, udla ubisi lukamama kuphela.
- I-Aardvark imba imigodi ngejubane elimangazayo. Ngemizuzu emi-5, i-aardvark ikhipha imbobo ukujula kwemitha elilodwa.
- Lesi silwane sathola igama laso elixakile ngenxa yamazinyo aso. Isakhiwo esinjalo samazinyo asisatholakali kunoma imuphi ummeleli wemvelo ephilayo. Amazinyo akhe akhiwe ngamabhubhu wamazinyo ahlanganiswe ndawonye. Azinawo koqweqwe lwawo noma izimpande futhi zikhula njalo.
