Ama-kangaroo esihlahla lezi yizilwane ezincelisayo ezinokubukeka kwasekuqaleni, okucishe kufane nesiphambano phakathi kwe-kangaroo ejwayelekile yase-Australia nebhere. Zingeze-oda lezimbungulu zomndeni wama-kangaroo.
Ubude bama-kangaroo ezihlahla kusukela esihlokweni kuye ekugcineni kwomsila cishe kuyimitha nengxenye kuya kumamitha amabili, kuyilapho umsila uwodwa wenza cishe uhhafu walesi silinganiso futhi ulinganisa kahle lapho lezi zilwane zenza ukweqa okude nokude.
Umuntu omdala unesisindo esingeqile ku-18 kg. Ama-kangaroo anezinkuni ngokuvamile amnyama noma ansundu ngemuva futhi alula, amhlophe esiswini. Ijazi lide futhi likhulu kakhulu, kepha kwezinye izinhlobo zithambile, zifana ne-plush, kanti kwezinye ziqinile futhi ziminyene, njengama-bristles.
Ama-kangaroo ase-arboreal anemilenze emifushane yangemuva (uma iqhathaniswa nozakwabo basemhlabeni) enendawo ebanzi kakhulu enamaphakethe embozwe isikhumba esiqinile kanye nozipho olude olugobile, athanda kakhulu ngalo ukukhuphuka kwezihlahla.
Kodwa-ke, imilenze yangaphambili neyangemuva ikhule kahle futhi inamandla ngokulinganayo. Isifinyeziwe (siphinde siqhathaniswe namanye ama-kangaroo) isifonyo nezindlebe eziyindilinga, ongazibona izithombe ze-kangaroo yesihlahla, nikeza ukufana kwe-arboreal namazinyane. Ama-kangaroo ezihlahla awunawo umjuluko, ngakho-ke ukuze kugcinwe izinga lokushisa lomzimba elijwayelekile futhi kugweme ukushisa ngokweqile, ama-kangaroo amane azikhothe phakathi nenkathi eshisayo.
Izici nendawo yokuhlala
Ama-kangaroo ezihlahla atholakala ezindaweni ezisesiqhingini saseNew Guinea, ezibhekwa njengezwe lazo elingokomlando, kanye nasenyakatho-mpumalanga yezwe lase-Australia iQueensland, lapho bethulwe khona muva nje.
Ekhetha izihlahla ezinde njengezindawo zokukhosela ezitheni zomhlaba, ama-kangaroo ezihlahla ngokuvamile ahlala ezindaweni ezinezintaba (kufika kumamitha ayizinkulungwane ezintathu ngaphezu kogu lolwandle), emahlathini asezindaweni ezishisayo futhi awavamile kakhulu emathafeni.
Ngokuya ngendawo yokuhlala nezici ezithile ezihlukile zangaphandle, izinhlobo ezifinyelela kweziyishumi nambili zama-kangaroo ezihlahla ziyabonakala:
- UKangaroo Bennett;
- UKangaroo Doria;
- UKangaroo Goodfellow;
- I-kangaroo yesihlahla esimpunga;
- Kangaroo kaLumholtz;
- Ukufana kweKangaroo;
- UDendrolagus mbaiso;
- I-Dendrolagus pulcherrimus;
- I-kangaroo yesihlahla sasePapua;
- I-Plain tree kangaroo;
- I-Dendrolagus stellarum;
- I-Bear kangaroo.
UGoodfellow futhi I-kangaroo yesihlahla sepapu - izinhlobo ezimbili zisengozini ngokusemthethweni, futhi i-kangaroo yesihlahla esimpunga yizinhlobo ezingafundiswanga kahle kakhulu ngenxa yezinombolo zayo ezincane nendlela yokuphila yokuqapha eyimfihlo.
Okufanekisiwe i-kangaroo yesihlahla esimpunga
Uhlamvu nendlela yokuphila
Ama-kangaroo ase-arboreal ancamela ukuhola impilo esebenzayo ebusuku. Emini, lezi zilwane ziyalala, ngenkathi zisesimweni sokulala zikwazi ukuhlala amahora afinyelela kwangu-15 zilandelana. Zikhetha ukuhlalisa umuntu oyedwa ngasikhathi, noma emindenini equkethe owesilisa, owesifazane namazinyane azo.
Ama-kangaroo ezihlahla achitha cishe impilo yawo yonke ezihlahleni, ehla ngokukhethekile efuna ukudla namanzi. Ngasikhathi sinye, zihamba emhlabathini ngokungahambi kahle nangokuhamba kancane, ngosizo lokugxuma okufushane, zigoqa umsila wazo phezulu ukuze zilinganise kahle.
Lolu hlobo lwekhangaru luyakwazi ukweqa lufike kumamitha ayi-9 ubude, lunqobe ibanga eliphakathi kwezihlahla ezimbili. Futhi phansi bayakwazi ukweqa ukusuka ekuphakameni kwamamitha ayi-18, ngenkathi bengatholi monakalo.
Ekhetha indlela yokuphila endaweni ephakeme impela, ama-kangaroo ezihlahla azivikela wona kanye nenzalo yawo ekuhlaselweni ngabantu, izinja ezingama-dingo kanye nama-amethyst pythons, okuyingozi enkulu empilweni yalezi zilwane ezincelisayo.
Ukudla okunomsoco
Ngokwemvelo yayo i-kangaroo yendawo yokuhlala udle izinhlobonhlobo zamaqabunga, izithelo, izimbali kanye namagatsha ezihlahla. Ekuthunjweni, badla izithelo, imifino, amakhambi, amaqanda abilisiwe nokunye ngaphandle kokulimaza impilo yabo.
Ukuzala kanye nesikhathi sokuphila
Ngenxa yokuphila esimweni sezulu esikahle, ama-kangaroo esihlahla awanaso isikhathi esithile sokuzala futhi azala unyaka wonke. Lapho owesilisa ezitholela owesimame ofanele, uyamculela ingoma, ethi ngomsindo wayo ifane nokukhonkotha kwenkukhu.
Bese owesilisa eqala ukuphulula owesifazane ekhanda. Uma insikazi yanelisekile ngakho konke, bese ifulathela eyeduna, imvumele ukuthi ashaye umsila wayo. Masinyane ngemuva kokuqomisana okunjalo, uma kwenzeka ngempumelelo, ukukhwelana kwenzeka. Kwesinye isikhathi kuba nezimpi ezinzima phakathi kwabesilisa abalwela ukunakekelwa kowesifazane oyedwa.
Izimpi ezinjalo zikhumbuza isibhakela esixabanayo, kunodlame kuphela, ngaphandle kwemithetho nemikhawulo. Imvamisa, owesilisa oncintisanayo uze azivumele ukuthi ahlasele owesilisa ovelele ngemuva ukuze andise amathuba akhe okuwina.
Owesifazane uthwala umbungu emzimbeni wakhe izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu nambili. Ngaphandle kokuthi insikazi inamabele amane esikhwameni, imvamisa kuzalwa elilodwa kuphela i-kangaroo yesihlahla somntwana ngasikhathi sinye, kambalwa kaningi.
Ingane ihlala esikhwameni sikanina ngaphandle kokushiya unyaka wonke wokuqala wokuphila kwayo. Wonke lo nyaka, unamathele kwingono kamama, lapho ethola khona isilinganiso sokudla esidingekayo ngezikhathi ezithile.
Njengoba ichithe isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka ngaphansi kokuvikelwa ngumama ezikhwameni zakhe, ingane iyaphuma iqale ukuhlola umhlaba. Uzozimela ngokuphelele futhi avuthwe ngokocansi lapho efika eminyakeni emibili ubudala. Isikhathi sokuphila sama-kangaroo ase-arboreal sithathwa njengeminyaka engama-20, kepha endaweni yazo yemvelo kaningi ayihlali kuze kufike ku-18.
I-kangaroo yesihlahla somntwana
Okwamanje, indlela elula yokuhlangana ne-kangaroo yesihlahla ukuvakashela noma yiziphi izinqolobane eziningi ezakhiwe e-Australia naseNew Guinea ukuze uvikele lolu hlobo lwezilwane ezincelisayo ukuba zingashabalali.
Ezinye izinhlobo zama-kangaroo ase-arboreal zisengcupheni yokuqothulwa, kepha kuseyizinto zokuzingelwa nokudla kwezinye izizwe zendawo eNew Guinea. Abazingeli badinga nje ukugibela esihlahleni bese babamba i-kangaroo elele ngomsila - kakhulu abakwazi ukuzivikela ekuhlaselweni ngabantu.
