Izici nendawo okuhlala kuyo i-kitoglava
Kitoglav noma indlovukazi yasebukhosini ingeyokuhleleka kogolantethe futhi ingummeleli womndeni onenhloko yomkhomo. Inani lalezi zinyoni eziyinqaba lingaba yizinkulungwane eziyi-15. Lezi yizinyoni ezingandile impela.
Izizathu zokunyamalala kwabo zithathwa njengokuncipha kwendawo efanele indawo yabo yokuhlala kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwezidleke. Royal Kitoglav inokubukeka okwehlukile, okunzima ukukhohlwa kamuva. Kubukeka njengesilo esidumile sangaphambi komlando esinekhanda elikhulu. Ikhanda likhulu kangangokuba ubukhulu balo bacishe bufane nomzimba wale nyoni.
Ngokumangazayo, intamo ende futhi ezacile iphethe ikhanda elikhulu kangako. Isici esiyinhloko esihlukanisayo uqhwaku. Ibanzi kakhulu futhi ifana nebhakede. Abantu bendawo banikeze igama labo le "dinosaur enezimpaphe" - "ubaba wesicathulo." Incazelo yesiNgisi yi- "whalehead", kanti eyesiJalimane ithi "boothead".
Ihlangana ikhanda elikhulu lomkhomo ezwenikazi elilodwa kuphela - i-Afrika. IHabitat yiKenya, Zaire, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana kanye neSouth Sudan.
Ngokwendawo yakhe yokuhlala, ukhetha izindawo okunzima ukufinyelela kuzo: amaxhaphozi amaxhaphozi namaxhaphozi. Indlela yokuphila ihlezi futhi ayishiyi indawo yokwakha isidleke. Imvelo yenze isiqiniseko sokuthi izimo zokuphila zintofontofo kulenyoni. UKitoglav inemilenze emide, emincane, nezinzwane zihlukaniswe kabanzi.
Isakhiwo esinjalo sezidladla sivumela ukwandisa indawo yokuxhumana nenhlabathi, futhi ngenxa yalokho, le nyoni ayiweli odakeni oluthambile lwamaxhaphozi. Ngenxa yaleli khono, ikhanda elikhulu lomkhomo lingama endaweni eyodwa amahora futhi lihambe ngokukhululeka emgxobhozweni. Indwandwe yasebukhosini iyakhanga ngosayizi futhi ingomunye wabamele abakhulu kunabo bonke onogolantethe.
Ukuphakama kwayo kufinyelela ku-1-1.2 m, kanti amaphiko ayo ingu-2-2.5 m. Ubukhulu obuhle. Isigebenga esinjalo sinesisindo esingu-4-7 kg. Umbala wezimpaphe wale nyoni mpunga. Ikhanda elikhulu lithweswe umqhele ngemuva kwekhanda. Uqhwaku oludumile lwekhanda lomkhomo luphuzi futhi luhlaba umxhwele ngosayizi. Ubude bayo bungu-23 cm, kanti ububanzi bayo buyi-10 cm.Igcina nge-hook, ebhekiswe phansi.
Esinye isici sale nyoni engavamile amehlo aso. Zitholakala ngaphambili kogebhezi, hhayi ezinhlangothini, njengezinyoni eziningi. Leli lungiselelo lamehlo liwavumela ukuthi abone yonke into ebazungezile ngomfanekiso onobukhulu obuthathu. Kumele uqaphele ukuthi owesilisa nowesifazane walezi zinhlobo zezinyoni kunzima kakhulu ukuhlukanisa komunye nomunye.
Umlingiswa nendlela yokuphila ye-kitoglava
UHeron kitoglav kuhola impilo yokuhlala nokuzifihla. Kukho konke ukuphila kwabo, bahlala endaweni ethile, bezama ukuhlala bodwa. Bambalwa abaphatha ukubona amakhanda ambalwa omkhomo. Ukuxhumana namalungu epakethe kwenzeka ngosizo lokuxokozela nokukhala okukhethekile.
Kodwa lokhu kwenzeka kuphela ezimweni ezehlukile, ngokujwayelekile bazama ukuthula futhi bangadonseli ukunakekelwa okukhethekile kumuntu wabo. Lapho inyoni iphumule, ibeka uqhwaku lwayo esifubeni. Ngokusobala, ukunciphisa ukuqina okuvela entanyeni, ngoba uqhwaku lwalezi zinyoni lukhulu nje. Kodwa kungenxa yobukhulu bayo obukhulu ukuthi ikhanda lomkhomo libhekwa njenge-angler enekhono kakhulu.
Ukundiza kwenyoni yasebukhosini kunomusa omangalisayo. Kakhulu zindiza phezulu, kepha kunezikhathi lapho zithatha isinqumo sokukhuphukela phezulu esibhakabhakeni futhi zikhuphuke ngobukhulu besigodlo sabo. Ngalesi sikhathi, amakhanda emikhomo adonsa ezintanyeni zawo futhi abe njengendiza.
Naphezu kokubukeka kwazo okwesabekayo, ziyizinyoni ezizolile futhi ezimnene. Zihlangana kahle nabantu abathunjiwe futhi zithanjiswa kalula. Ukubukeka kwazo okungavamile kudonsela ababukeli emamuo. Kepha njengoba sekushiwo, lezi zinyoni ziyivelakancane kakhulu emvelweni nasethunjweni.
Amaphiko ekhanda lomkhomo ayamangalisa
IRoyal Kitoglav iyintandokazi yabathwebuli zithombe. Bheka nje esithombeni se-kitoglava bese omunye eba nombono wokuthi ubheke esifanekisweni sika "cardinal ompunga". Yileso sikhathi abakwazi ukuma ngaso isikhathi eside. Konke ukunyakaza kwakhe kuhamba kancane futhi kuyalinganiswa.
Le nyoni "yegazi lasebukhosini" ihlukaniswa ngemikhuba emihle. Uma usondela futhi ukhothama, unikina ikhanda lakho, bese uyaphendula ikhanda lomkhomo liyakhothama futhi. Nanku ukubingelela okunobuhle. Izindwandwe nama-ibise ngokuvamile zisebenzisa amakhanda emikhomo njengabaqaphi. Babuthana njengemihlambi bezungezile, bezizwa bephephile eduze komdondoshiya onjalo.
Ukudla okunamaKitoglava
Inyoni yomkhoma i-angler enhle kakhulu futhi ingumzingeli wokuphila emanzini. Uyakwazi ukuma anganyakazi isikhathi eside, elinde inyamazane yakhe. Kwesinye isikhathi, ukuze "kushunqiselwe" izinhlanzi ngaphezulu, la "maqhinga" adaka amanzi. Ngesikhathi sokuzingelwa okunjalo, umuntu uthola umbono wokuthi ukubekezela kwasebukhosini kwale nhlwathi akunamkhawulo. Imenyu yekhanda lomkhomo ifaka i-catfish, ama-tilapias, izinyoka, amaxoxo, ama-molluscs, izimfudu nezingwenya ezincane.
UKitoglav uthanda ukudla izinhlanzi
Basebenzisa uqhwaku lwabo olukhulu njengenetha lokwehla. Kubo bathatha izinhlanzi nezinye izidalwa eziphilayo echibini. Kepha ukudla akuhlali kuqonde ngqo esiswini. UKitoglav, njengompheki, uyihlanza ngaphambi kwezimila ngokweqile.
Indlovukazi yasebukhosini ikhetha ukuba wedwa, futhi nasezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi, zondla kude kude komunye nomunye. Leli banga okungenani limamitha angama-20. Umthetho ofanayo usebenza emibhangqwaneni eshadile yekhanda lomkhomo.
Ukuzala kanye nesikhathi sokuphila senhloko yomkhomo
Isikhathi sokuzala senhloko yomkhomo wasebukhosini siqala ngemuva kwenkathi yemvula. Lo mcimbi obalulekile uwela ngoMashi-Julayi. Ngalesi sikhathi, izindwandwe zenza imidanso yokuhlangana ngaphambi komunye nomunye. Umdanso wokukhwelana uwukuthi iminsalo yekitoglava phambi kozakwethu wesikhathi esizayo, welula intamo nezingoma zokuqala ze-serenade.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokwesimo, ukwakhiwa kwesidleke somndeni kuyaqala. Ubukhulu bayo, ukufanisa izakhamizi uqobo, bukhulu kakhulu. Ububanzi besidleke esinjalo bungu-2,5 m. Insikazi izalela amaqanda ayi-1-3, kodwa yintshontsho elilodwa kuphela elisindayo. Bobabili abazali babambe iqhaza ekuchameleni nasekukhuliseni izingane. Ukuchamisela amaqanda kuhlala cishe inyanga.
Amantshontsho ekhanda lomkhomo
Esikhathini sezulu esishisayo, ukuze kugcinwe umbuso othile wokushisa, amakhanda emikhomo "ageza" amaqanda awo. Benza izinqubo ezifanayo zamanzi ngephuphu. Amachwane aqanduselwa, embozwe ngobuningi phansi. Hlala nabazali cishe izinyanga ezimbili.
Lapho lifinyelela kule minyaka yobudala, iphuphu lizolunyulwa ngezikhathi ezithile esidlekeni. Ezinyangeni ezine uzoshiya ikhaya labazali ayoqala impilo ezimele. Ama-King herons aqala ukuvuthwa ngokocansi ngeminyaka emithathu. Lezi zinyoni ziphila isikhathi eside kakhulu. Isikhathi sokuphila se-kitoglava ifinyelela cishe eminyakeni engama-36.
