Ubulongwe buthanda ubulongwe. AbaseGibhithe bakholelwa ukuthi ama-scarabs ahambisa ilanga esibhakabhakeni. Isintu sakha ukunyakaza kwamasondo ngo-3500 BC, futhi amabhungane acijile ahambisa amabhola omsila esebenzisa lobu buchwepheshe eminyakeni eyizigidi ezingama-50 ngaphambi kokuvela kwamaphiramidi.
Indlela elula yokuhambisa noma yini wukugingqa ibhola. Umquba unamathela, ngakho-ke lapho ugoqa, uqoqa izinhlayiya eziningi zomquba. Lokhu kufana nokwenza izingxenye zomuntu ohamba eqhweni.
Kungani umquba nokuthi izinqwaba zomquba zihluka kanjani
Kungumbono omuhle, ibhungane elincane licindezela ibhola elikhulu lomswani. Amabhungane obulongwe agingqa amabhola omswani, yingakho igama lawo. Bakhipha umsoco namandla esitokisini. Bathanda ubulongwe be-herbivore njengoba bugcwele izakhamzimba. Ngokuphambene nalokho, umquba wezilwane ezidlayo awunamsoco omncane. Kepha umquba omuhle kakhulu ukhiqizwa yizilwane ezinomsoco ezidla izitshalo nezilwane.
Amabhungane obulongwe akhetha ubulongwe "obunephunga" kunabo bonke, kufaka phakathi izimfene nendle yabantu.
Kungani umquba
Sebenze ibhola elisha lomswani, la mabhungane akhetha indawo bese emba umgodi, awugqibe emhlabathini, bese kuthi owesifazane abeke amaqanda emgodini. Ngemuva kokuchanyuselwa, izibungu zamabhungane obulongwe zidla emqubeni ovuniwe.
Kungani mabhungane esebenza kanzima kangaka
Ngeshwa, lokhu kudla akunamsoco kakhulu. Ngobusuku obubodwa nje, leli bhungane ligingqika futhi lifihle umquba, osinda ngokuphindwe izikhathi ezingama-250 kunalo. Ibhungane nenzalo yalo badinga ukudla okuningi, ngakho-ke amabhungane amancane agingqa amabhola amakhulu.
Akuwona wonke amabhungane, abizwa ngokuthi ama-dung beetle, roll droppings. Kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-7000 zamabhungane obulongwe, ngasinye sazo siguquke futhi sathuthukisa ubuchwepheshe baso ekuphatheni i-coprolite.
Izinhlobo zamabhungane obulongwe
Ukugingqa
Leli yiqembu elidume kakhulu lamabhungane, empeleni zigingqika ubulongwe zibe ngamabhola futhi zikhetha ngendlela emangalisayo ukuthi zihlala kuphi nokuthi zizalela kanjani amaqanda, ngakho-ke zimboza amabanga afinyelela kumamitha angama-200 ngaphambi kokungcwaba ibhola emhlabathini.
Izikhuni
La mabhungane obulongwe awagijimi ngezinqwaba zomswani ophindwe kayishumi isisindo sawo. Esikhundleni salokho bakha ibhola bese bengcwaba umquba lapho bewuthole khona.
Ukuhlala phansi
Iqembu lesithathu limane limbe emqubeni noma ngabe likuphi. Kunamabhungane angadli ubulongwe, ancamela izithelo ezibolayo, izitshalo ezibolayo, noma isikhunta esikhula ngobulongwe.
Kuphela u-10% wamabhungane aqoqa ubulongwe. Ubuningi bezinhlobo zebhungane benza amabhola namaqabunga lapho betholakale khona indle.
Ukubonakala kwebhungane
Ama-arthropod aphila iminyaka engafinyelela kwemithathu emvelweni. Ubukhulu bazo abufani, zitholakala kusuka ezinambuzaneni ezincane kakhulu kuya kubhungane abakhulu abayi-5 cm abagingqela umquba ezindaweni ezingwadule zase-Afrika.
Zonke izinhlobo zebhungane zinemizimba emnyama eboshwe ngegobolondo elivikelayo elivikela ekuweni nasekuklwebhekeni, kodwa hhayi ezilwaneni ezidla ezinye. Amabhungane obulongwe, njengamanye ama-arthropods, ahamba ngokuphawulekayo emhlabathini, kodwa nawo anezimpiko. Lapho ubhungane usengozini, welula izimpiko zakhe andize ahambe.
Azala kanjani amabhungane
Ngokuphakamisa izinqa zabo, abesilisa bakhipha i-pheromone, exwayisa abesifazane ngomvuzo omuhle ababalindele. Abesifazane badinga ibhola elinamanzi le-coprolite lapho bezalela khona amaqanda abo. Insikazi ikhiqiza amaqanda ama-5 kuphela empilweni yayo, ngakho-ke iyazikhethela ebudlelwaneni.
Izinhlobonhlobo zemikhuba yomshado
Umnumzane ugoqa umquba, intokazi iyamlandela. Abanye besifazane bahamba ngaphezu kwebhola lomswani, ngakho owesilisa uphusha isisindo esithe xaxa! Amanye amaduna afaka ibhola emhubheni, ame emakhanda awo, adedele i-pheromone, bese eyenga insikazi esidlekeni esimbiwe.
Isibungu sebhungane esichanyuselwe eqandeni sidla ibhola lobulongwe ngaphakathi, amabhungane angabazali adla ingaphandle lebhola.
