Kulokhu, ngokungeziwe, ubude bomsila kufanele bunakwe - okungenani amasentimitha ayi-15. Abesifazane banesisindo esingu-3.5-5 kg, kanti ubude bomzimba bungamasentimitha angama-50-70. Umsila wabesifazane nawo mfushane ngo-2-3 cm kunowesilisa.
Futhi lapha intaba viskasha noma njengoba ibizwa kanjalo, i-whiskacha yasePeru inosayizi omncane kancane. Ubude bomzimba wegundane ngu-30-40 cm.Isisindo asidluli ku-1.5 kg.
Esithombeni intaba i-viskasha
Inhloko ye-whiskashi inkulu, izindlebe ezinkulu futhi zihlukaniswe ngamehlo. Imilenze yangaphambili imifushane futhi ibuthakathaka, kepha imilenze yangemuva ibonakala ngobude namandla.
Kukhona futhi umehluko phakathi kwezinhlobo. I-whiskachi ethafeni inezinzwane ezine emilenzeni yangaphambili nezingu-3 ezinyaweni zangemuva, kuyilapho i-whiskachi yasePeru ineminwe emine kuzo zonke izitho.
Lesi silwane sinoboya obufushane nobuthambile kunoboya bokuthinta bethoni elimpunga onsundu ngemuva. Ezinhlangothini, umbala awukhanyi, kuthi esiswini umbala ube mhlophe. Isici singabizwa ngokuncika kombala kumbala wenhlabathi lapho kuhlala khona igundane. Ukuba mnyama kwethoni yenhlabathi, ucebile umbala woboya besilwane.
Vuliwe isithombe se-whiskashi kuyabonakala ukuthi ngaphandle kobulili, isilwane sinamabala amhlophe namnyama ekhanda laso. Kepha umehluko okhona phakathi kobulili usakhonjwa - abesilisa bahlukaniswa ngesakhiwo esikhulu ngokwengeziwe nomaski obonakala ngokucacile ebusweni.
Indawo yokuhlala nokudla
I-whiskasha elula uhlala enkabeni ye-Argentina, izifunda zayo ezisenyakatho nasempumalanga. Futhi, lesi silwane siyabonakala ezingxenyeni eziseningizimu, entshonalanga yeParaguay naseningizimu-mpumalanga yeBolivia. Indawo ehlala amagundane ayizintandokazi ngamathafa, kanye nezindawo eziphansi ezimanzi nezihlahla ezinameva ezomile.
Ngokuqondene nombuzo, Uhlala kuphi i-viskasha ezintabeni, singasho ukuthi abameleli bezinhlobo bahlala ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezinamadwala nezintaba zasePeru, eChile, eBolivia, e-Argentina, lapho ukuphakama kungamamitha ayi-1000-5000 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle.

Indlela yokuphila yeViscashi
Viskasha - isilwane social ngempela. Izilwane zihlala ngamaqembu abantu abayi-10, 15, noma ngisho nama-30. Ngasikhathi sinye, kunezinsikazi eziphindwe kabili kuya kwezingu-2 emhlambini kunabesilisa. Izilwane ezihlangene ngamaqembu zihlala ohlelweni olungaphansi komhlaba lwemigodi, ibanga eliphakathi kwalo elihluka kusuka kumasentimitha amaningana kuya kumamitha amaningana.
Zonke izimbungulu zixhunywe ngesistimu yamaphaseji, futhi indawo yensimu etholakala kuyo ingafinyelela kumamitha-skwele angama-600. m Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ubukhulu bokungena kohlelo buya ngenani labahlali futhi bungafinyelela ku-1 m.
AmaViskashi aqaphe kakhulu ngokuhlela nokuvikela ikhaya labo. Amagundane aqoqa ngokucophelela amathambo, izinduku, ubulembu bezinkomo kanye nezinye izinto azibeke eduze neminyango yemigodi yazo.
