Inyoni ethokozisayo, sengathi ivela kukhathuni, iheha izingane hhayi kuphela. Ngaphandle, abafani nabanye. Ngokwalesi sizathu inkosi penguin akunakwenzeka ukudida nanoma ngubani.
Kuthiwa icishe ifane naleyo yasebukhosini. Kepha, uma ubhekisisa, kubukeka kanjani isithombe inkosi penguin bese uyiqhathanisa neyombuso, uyabona ukuthi eyokuqala incane kuneyesibili futhi inezimpaphe ezikhanya kancane.
Ama-penguin we-Adélie anokufana okufanayo nawo. Kepha kuwo wonke ama-penguin, i-king penguin ithandwa kakhulu. Incazelo yepenguin yenkosi ngokuma kwayo okuziqhenyayo nenhlanganisela yamathoni amnyama, amhlophe naphuzi, iqinisekisa ngokugcwele isihloko sayo se-chic, esinikezwe lezi zinyoni zaseNyakatho isikhathi eside.
Zonke izakhamizi zase-Antarctica kumele zibe nezimfanelo ezithile ukuze ziphile ezimweni ezinzima kangaka zesimo sezulu, phakathi kwamazinga okushisa aphansi kanye neqhwa.
Izendlalelo ezine zezimpaphe, ezisendaweni ephakeme kakhulu, zisiza ama-penguin enkosi ukuba abaleke emakhazeni amakhulu. Ubuningi bazo cishe bulingana nezimpaphe eziyishumi ngesentimitha lesikwele.
Ingqimba engenhla yezimpaphe igcwele ngokwanele ngamafutha afihlwe yizindlala ezibusayo, ngakho-ke ivikelwe ngokuphelele emanzini. Izendlalelo ezintathu ezingezansi zezimpaphe ze-king penguin zinomsebenzi ohlukile. Zisebenza njengokufakwa okushisayo kwezinkukhu.
Amachwane anesakhiwo esihluke kancane. Azinazo izingqimba zokuvikela izimpaphe. Esikhundleni salokho, ukufudumala okufudumele nsundu kuyakhula. Kuyasiza izingane ukuthi zifudumale. Kodwa azikwazi ukungena emanzini zisencane. Kuphela esikhathini sokukhula lapho banethuba elinjalo.
Saqala ukuzwa ngama-king penguin ngekhulu le-15 kusuka kumatilosi aseSpain athola iCape of Good Hope. Kodwa kuphela ngekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalombili babonwa ngokusemthethweni futhi babizwa ngokuthi "izinyoni zezinhlanzi" ngoba abakwazi ukundiza futhi babe nobuganga obumangalisayo kwimisinga yamanzi.
Incazelo kanye nezici ze-penguin yenkosi
I-king penguin inomzimba ominyene. Kuya ngezimo zezulu lapho iphengwini lichitha impilo yalo yonke. Usayizi wayo ungowesibili ngemuva kosayizi we-emperor penguin.
Ephakathi isisindo senkosi penguin cishe i-15 kg. Ukukhula KweKing Penguin kusuka kumasentimitha angama-90 kuya kwayi-110. Ngenxa yocwecwe oluminyene lwamafutha angaphansi kwesilwane, lesi silwane singakwazi ukumelana kalula nesimo sezulu esibi se-Antarctic kanye nokuntuleka kokudla okungenzeka kube isikhathi eside.
Umbala wazo wezimpaphe, lapho amathoni ahlangana khona, afana nombala wabantu abagqoke amabhantshi, futhi indlela yazo ebabazekayo idonsa ukunaka kwawo wonke umuntu futhi igcizelela bonke ubukhulu nobuhle besilwane.
Futhi amabala aphuzi aseduze nezindlebe, entanyeni kanye nomlomo omude omuhle onamabala aphuzi uzenza zibonakale kalula. Umhlane namaphiko ephengwini kubuswa umbala osiliva. Akunakwenzeka ukuhlukanisa abesilisa nabesifazane bepenguin yenkosi ngombala. Umehluko kuphela ubukhulu bawo. Abesilisa bavame ukuba bakhulu kunabesifazane.
I-royal penguin yehlukile kune-emperor penguin ngosayizi nombala womlomo. Owesibili uvamise ukuba noqhwaku oluncane, futhi umbala unezinhlobonhlobo zemibala, kusukela kophinki kuya kobomvu kuye kolintshi kuya kophuzi.
Ososayensi abakakatholi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ngempela lokhu noma lowo mbala womlomo. Kukhona ukucabanga ukuthi lokhu kuncike ekuvuthweni ngokobulili kwesilwane noma ezingeni lomphakathi lenyoni.
I-king penguin, njengezinyoni zonke, inesidingo esihlala njalo samanzi okuphuza. Umthombo okuwukuphela kwawo amanzi ancibilikayo avela eqhweni. Kepha njengoba izinyoni ezikule koloni zinamanzi anele azo zonke azanele.
Futhi izintaba zeqhwa ziqine kakhulu, kumane nje akunangqondo ukuthola amanzi kuzo. Imilomo yama-penguin enkosi ayinakukugqashula. Ukuphela kwento abasele yona ukujwayela nokuphuza amanzi olwandle anosawoti.
Ngenxa yalokhu, izilwane zinezindlala ezikhethekile, zitholakala ezingeni lamehlo ombongolo. Umsebenzi wabo ukuhlunga igazi nokuhlanza usawoti. Usawoti kulezi zindlala uguqulwa ube yisixazululo esiminyene bese ukhishwa ngamakhala. Ngemuva kokuba ukuhlunga sekwenzekile, usawoti uyaconsa ngokuphuma emlonyeni wesilwane.
Kukhona elinye ikhono elihlukile lama-penguin enkosi okuhlala ezimweni ezibandayo. Lezi zinyoni ezihlukile azijuluki nhlobo. Esikhundleni somchamo, bakhiqiza i-uric acid, uketshezi olumhlophe futhi olujiyile.
Omunye umehluko obalulekile phakathi kwama-penguin nezinye izinto eziphilayo isikhathi sabo sokuzala eside. Kusukela ngesikhathi lapho lo mbhangqwana uhlangana khona futhi unezingane, kudlula izinyanga ezingaphansi kwezingu-16. Imibhangqwana inesifiso esikhulu sokukhiqiza inzalo minyaka yonke, kepha ngenxa yezizathu eziningi bayakwazi ukukwenza lokhu kanye njalo eminyakeni emibili.
Ubudlelwano bama-penguin nabantu sekube nzima isikhathi eside. Lezo zinyoni ezingezindiza ezazihlala eduze nezindawo ezifinyeleleka kumuntu zabhujiswa ngabasolwandle ngekhulu le-18. Lokhu kweqa umthetho okungalawuleki kwaqhubeka kwaze kwaba ngo-1917.
Ukuqothulwa kwama-penguin kuholele endaweni ebucayi kakhulu enanini lekholoni labo. Impilo ye-King penguin yayisongelwa kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, kwakudingeka ukuthi kuthathwe izinyathelo ezithile, ngenxa yokuthi inani labo labuyiselwa kancane futhi okwamanje azikho izinkinga ngokunyamalala kwabo.
Indlela yokuphila nendawo yokuhlala
Lezi zinyoni ezimangalisayo, ezingakwazi ukundiza, azikuthandi ukuba zodwa. Zikhetha ukuhlala emakoloni amakhulu, anomsindo. Emiphakathini enjalo enobungani be-penguin, kunezinkulungwane ezingamashumi ezinkulungwane ngazimbili.
La makoloni atholakala emathafeni abanzi anezimbali ezimbi. Akunabaphathi bezenhlalo phakathi kwama-penguin enkosi, kepha kusenamandla phakathi kwabo ngokuthatha indawo enethezekile enkabeni yekoloni.
Amaphengwini anezitha. Okuyingozi kakhulu kuzo yizimpawu, izingwe zezimpawu kanye nemikhomo ebulalayo. Kumatshwele ahlala osebeni njalo, kunengozi enkulu yokuhlangana nama-skuas ansundu kanye nama-petrels amakhulu futhi abe yizisulu zawo.
IKing penguin ihlala khona eziqhingini ezisogwini lwase-Antarctica naseTierra del Fuego. Kwesinye isikhathi, kodwa hhayi ngobuningi, lezi zinyoni zitholakala eChile nase-Argentina. Amaphengwini awekude kakhulu nolwandle.
Kubalulekile ukuthi babe semhlabeni futhi ngasikhathi sinye bakwazi ukuya olwandle. Impilo yolwandle oluphakeme iyaqhubeka kuze kufike isikhathi sonyaka sokukhwelana. Ama-penguin enkosi alala ubusuku bonke ndawonye namachwane abo emakoloni asenyakatho.
Ngalesi sikhathi, abazali abahle kakhulu ekunikezeni izingane ukudla. Ngakho-ke, ubusika bokuqala be inkosi penguin chick ikhunjulwe ngokulahleka kwesisindo okukhulu.
Inyoni ye-King penguin, ngaphandle kokuthi une-gait engathandeki futhi esindayo, futhi futhi akazi nokuthi angandiza kanjani, uyakwazi ukubhukuda nokuntywila ngokuphelele ekujuleni okukhulu. Banalo leli khono ngenxa yezimpaphe zabo ezingangeni manzi.
Kwesinye isikhathi, kanye ngonyaka, izinyoni zishintsha izimpaphe zazo. Izimpaphe ezintsha zikhipha ezindala. Ngalesi sikhathi, ama-penguin awakwazi ukubhukuda, ngakho-ke akhetha ukulinda i-molt endaweni ecashile evikelwe emimoyeni. Ngesikhathi se-molting, izinyoni azidli lutho.
Ukudla
Yize iqiniso lokuthi lezi zinyoni zingamampunge, zingabazingeli abahle kakhulu. Bazitholela konke ukudla. King penguin uyadla inhlanzi, i-squid ne-shellfish, okungukuthi, imikhiqizo yezilwane. Ungumuntu omuhle ekubhukudeni nasekwehliseni izisulu ngaphansi kwamanzi.
Ukuzaliswa kanye nempilo yenkosi penguin
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi lezi zinyoni zinesikhathi sokukhwelana. Zikhetha izindawo ezinamadwala aqinile ukuze zakhiwe. Indoda, esivele ikulungele ukuba umzali ohamba ngokuzikhukhumeza, ihamba inqamule yonke indawo yaleli koloni bese iphendula ikhanda layo ngamabala aphuzi nxazonke.
Ngalokhu wenza wonke umuntu azi ukuthi useminyakeni yokuthomba. Ngezikhathi ezithile, lolu hlobo lokuzinyusa luhambisana nokumemeza ngomlomo ophakanyisiwe. Owesifazane, onentshisekelo kowesilisa, usondela kuye eduze.
Kunezikhathi lapho abesilisa bengeke bahlanganyele owesifazane oyedwa phakathi kwabo. Bese kuba khona uhlobo lwe-penguin duel phakathi kwabo. Esikhundleni sezinkemba, izinyoni zisebenzisa izimpiko zazo, ezishaya ngesihluku. Ilungelo lokukhetha lihlala nowesifazane, ngemuva kwalokho kuqale umdanso omangalisayo phakathi kwabathandi ababili, ongabukwa isikhathi eside ngaphandle kokuma.
Lokhu kungumdanso wezinhliziyo ezimbili, ongazange uhlangane ngenhlanhla ngokuthintwa okuncane nokugonwa. Ngemuva komdanso, ukukhwelana kuyenzeka. Lezi zinyathelo ziphindwa kaningana.
Ngenxa yokuhamba okunjalo, ama-penguin abeka iqanda elilodwa ngoDisemba-Januwari. Lokhu kwenzeka futhi ngendlela eyinqaba. Insikazi ibeka iqanda ezithweni zayo bese ilimboza ngesibaya esinamafutha.
Ngemuva kwalokho, owesilisa ujoyina inqubo yokuqothula. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi amaphuphu achamusela amaqanda kaNovemba noma uDisemba maningi amathuba okuthi aphile.Mayelana ne-king penguin ungakhuluma okungapheli. Lezi zinyoni ezihlukile ezingakwazi ukundiza bezilokhu ziheha abantu. Isikhathi sabo sokuphila cishe iminyaka engama-25.
