Esikhathini esedlule, esikhathini esidlule sangaphambi komlando, eminyakeni eyizigidi eziyikhulu eyedlule, ngesikhathi seCretaceous, isimo sezulu emhlabeni sakhula kancane kancane saguquka. Kusuka ekushiseni okulingene, kwaba kubanda kakhulu.
Ngakho-ke, izimo zezulu zithinte kakhulu umhlaba wezilwane. Izilwane ezinwabuzelayo ezinkulu, ama-dinosaurs asongelwa ngokuqothulwa. Kancane kancane, zaqala ukunyamalala ebusweni bomhlaba. Zathathelwa indawo yizinhlobo ezinegazi elifudumele, nezingazweli.
Ngamafuphi, imvelo yazama ngokusemandleni ayo. Kwakukhona nezilwane ezincelisayo zokuqala. Akubona bonke, yebo, basinda ezikhathini zethu, abamele abaningi bama-vertebrate bafa ngenxa yezizathu ezithile.
Kepha abanye babo nokho badlulise zonke izivivinyo zomhlaba futhi bafika nasezikhathini zethu ukukhombisa ukuthi inzima kangakanani indlela yokwakheka komhlaba wamanje.
Phakathi kwezilwane ezinjalo, okokuqala ezidalwe ngokuziphendukela kwemvelo, bese zikhohlwa yizo kwakungu-platypus futhi izinyo eziqhekekile. Bayibiza futhi ngokuthi igundane lendlovu elinoshevu, i-solenodon, i-edaras noma i-takuah. Lesi silwane sehluke ngazo zonke izindlela.
Izici nendawo yokuhlala yenyoka
Slittooth - lezi yizilwane ezincelisayo kancane, ogama indlala submandibular ikhiqiza into enobuthi. Ukubukeka kwazo akunikezi ukwesaba noma ukwesaba.
Okuningi zifana nezimbila noma izigaxa, ngokwakhiwa okujiyile. Ubude besilwane esikhulile ngaphandle komsila bungamasentimitha angama-30. Sinesisindo esingu-1.5 kg. Umsila, njengowamagundane, unqunu futhi mude.
I-proboscis ibonakala ngokusobala kumlomo omude wesilwane. Unamazinyo abukhali kakhulu. Cishe zingu-40 zazo. Uboya isilwanyana slittooth inemibala ehlukene, esukela kokunsundu ngombala onsundu, obomvu ngokunsundu nephela ngombala omnyama okumsulwa.
Izidladla ezinhlanu zeminwe zalesi silwane zihlonywe ngozipho abakhulu nabade. Bukela i isithombe se-cracker kukhona umuzwa ongaqondakali. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ubangela ukuhleka ngokubukeka kwakhe, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukunengeka.
Umsila wayo wegundane omude ubukeka, ukusibeka ngobumnene, hhayi ukuheha kakhulu. Izintaba zakhiwe kahle kugebhezi lwe-scallop. Esinye isici esithandekayo abanaso ukuthi ngaphansi kwamakhwapha nasezimbilinini zabo kunezindlala ezikhethekile, lapho kukhishwa khona into enamafutha enephunga elinamandla le-musky. Umnenke wezinsikazi unezingono endaweni ebusayo. Abesilisa banamasende.
Ezikhathini zasendulo, i-cracker yayitholakala eNyakatho Melika naseziqhingini zaseCaribbean. Manje itholakala kuphela eCuba naseHaiti. Amahlathi asezintabeni, izihlahlana yizindawo ezithandwa kakhulu lapho uhlala kumazinyo aqhekekile.
Kwesinye isikhathi zingakhuphuka ziye emasimini. Isikhathi esithile Umqaphi waseCuba kwakubhekwa njengesilwane esingasekho. Unesimo esinzima futhi esingenangqondo, ukulunywa okunobuthi. Lokhu waduma ngakho. Umqaphi waseHaiti incanyana kuneCuba. Uhlala kuphela eDominican Republic nasesiqhingini saseHaiti.
Uhlamvu nendlela yokuphila
Ama-Scaletooths akhetha impilo yasebusuku yasemhlabeni. Ababonwa emini. Ngesikhathi sasemini, lezi zilwane zisemgodini noma kwenye indawo yokukhosela enokwethenjelwa. Ekuboneni kokuqala, kubonakala sengathi kunamahloni.
Eqinisweni, ziyizidalwa ezinamahloni ezingenakulingana ekukhuphukeni. Zihlukaniswa nolaka olwandile. Njengoba besekuthunjweni, zivutha ngokushesha ikakhulukazi futhi zingahlasela nomuntu.
Imvamisa ngenkathi kwenziwa lokhu, izinyo lenyoka limane lizame ukufihla ikhanda, ngethemba lokuthi ngeke litholwe. Ngezikhathi ezinjalo, ungambamba kalula ngokubamba umsila wakhe omude.
Isilwane sijwayela ukuthunjwa ngokushesha futhi sivume ngokuzithandela ukwamukela ukudla okuvela kumnikazi. Isimo esibalulekile ekugcinweni kwayo ukuhlanzeka. Ngenjabulo angene emanzini. Ngemuva kwalokho, kulapha lapho enikezwa khona ithuba elihle lokuqeda ukoma.
ICrackletooth inemisindo ehlukahlukene impela ezwini layo. Angahle akhonze njengengulube noma amemeze njengesikhova. Ukuthukuthela kwakhe ngokushesha kubonakala engutsheni yakhe eshisiwe. Lesi silwane sidabula isisulu saso esidlulayo njengokhozi.
Ubuthi beCrackletooth buyingozi ezilwaneni ezincane. Angaletha inkinga ethile kumuntu, kepha kuyena akabulali. Abakwazi ukumelana nobuthi babo.
Ngakho-ke, imvamisa lapho kuqubuka izingxabano phakathi kwamazinyo amabili aqhekekile, elinye lawo liyafa ngokulunywa yimbangi yakhe. Bangabanikazi abakhulu futhi baqapha insimu yabo ngentshiseko ekhethekile.
Ukugwema ukulunywa yinyoka, udinga ukwazi imikhuba yayo, Ngaphambi kokuhlasela, ukhipha imisindo ethukuthele bese eqala ukumba phansi ngolaka aphikisane naye.
Akukhuthazwa ukusondela esilwaneni noma okwamanje lapho uboya baso buphazanyiswa. Kungcono ngalesi sikhathi ukugwema ukuxhumana naye futhi uhambe nje. Umbono wakhe awuthuthukisiwe ngokukhethekile. Kodwa isilwane sinomqondo ofanele wokuhogela. Yiyo esiza ukuthola isisulu sayo sezinyo eliqhekezayo.
Ukudla kwe-Nutcracker
Ukudla kwalezi zilwane ezithakazelisayo kufaka kokubili ukudla kwezilwane nezitshalo. Zidla izithelo ezahlukahlukene, izibankwa ezincane nezingenamgogodla. Unganqikazi ukuqhekeka-amazinyo kanye nesidumbu.
Ofakazi abaningi bokuzibonela bathi bavame ukuhlasela izinkukhu. Lapho befuna ukudla, bafaka izigaxa zabo ezinde enhlabathini noma emaqabunga. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, amazinyo aqhephukile athanda izinambuzane namagundane.
Ukuzala kanye nesikhathi sokuphila
Amazinyo esikalo awavundisi kakhulu. Bathela izithelo kanye kuphela ngonyaka. Ngasikhathi sinye, kuzalwa ingane eyodwa kuya kwezintathu. Azikwazi ukuzivikela futhi izimpumputhe ngokuphelele.
Azinawo amazinyo noma izinwele. Konke ukunakekelwa kwezingane kuwela kunina, abangamshiyi isikhathi eside, noma esenenzalo elandelayo. Abantu abangafika kwabayi-10 bangahlala emgodini owodwa.
Lesi silwane sihlala ekuthunjweni cishe iminyaka emihlanu. Kepha icala laqoshwa ngenkathi umqaphi ehlala ekuthunjweni iminyaka eyi-11. Lezi zilwane zisengcupheni yokuqothulwa, yize zingama-omnivores futhi ziphila impilo efihliwe.
Lokhu kwenzeka ngezizathu eziningi. Esinye sazo isilinganiso sabo esiphansi sokuzala. Futhi, esinye sezizathu zokunyamalala kwamazinyo aqhekekile ukuhlaselwa kwawo kaningi yizilwane ezidlayo nokucekelwa phansi kwendawo yazo. Ukuze ngandlela-thile asindise lesi silwane ekunyamalaleni okuphelele, kwaba ohlwini Red Book.
