Izici nendawo okuhlala kuyo isililo semvukuzane
Igama layo isibungu semoloch ngofuzo oluvela kunkulunkulu wamaqaba uMoloki, ekuhlonipheni kwakhe (ngokusho kwezinganekwane) imihlatshelo yabantu yayenziwa ezikhathini zasendulo.
UJohn Gray, owathola lolu hlobo ngo-1814, wahlanganisa igama elihlobene kabi nonkulunkulu wasendulo omubi, ngoba isibankwa ngokwaso sibukeka sibonga kakhulu ngezinsipho eziningi ezisemzimbeni, emsileni nasekhanda.
Ukuvela kwesirhubuluzi kusuke kucace kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izibankwa. Inhloko yemoloch incane futhi incane, kanti umzimba, kunalokho, ubanzi, ujiyile, umbozwe imiqolo emincane yama-horny.
Ngenhla kwamehlo nasentanyeni yesilwane esihuquzelayo kunezimpondo ezincane ezakhiwe kusukela emigogodleni efanayo. Imilenze yesibankwa ivulekile futhi iqinile ngezithupha, ezikwazi ukuhamba ngokushesha, kodwa-ke, esikhathini esiningi isilwane esihuquzelayo sihamba kancane.
IMoloki ibukeka imangalisa ngokukhethekile ngenxa yombala wayo ongajwayelekile "onamabala" - umzimba ongaphezulu ungaba yimuphi umthunzi omnyama onsundu noma obomvu onamabala amnyama nomugqa omncane wokukhanya maphakathi, phansi kukhanya ngemivimbo emnyama.
Umbala ungashintsha kuye ngezinga lokushisa lomoya nangemuva elizungezile, ngakho-ke imoloch ilungisa ngokushesha izinguquko emvelweni wokufihla ubuso. Umuntu omdala angafika kubude obungu-22 cm.Ungahlangana nemoloch kuphela e-Australia, lesi silwane esihuquzelayo sihlala ezingwadule nasezindaweni ezingamahlane.
Kwesinye isikhathi lolu hlobo ludidekile nolunye ukhakhayi, ngakho-ke, UMoloch noRidgeback bafana nezibankwa Ziyafana ngokuziphatha, zinomzimba ominyene futhi zimbozwe ameva, kepha kukhona nokwehluka - i-spinytail, njengoba igama lesirhubuluzi lisho, inameva kuphela emsileni futhi umbala womzimba wayo ungahluka kakhulu kunemibala ensundu.
Ngokuvamile i-lizard moloch esithombeni ibukeka njengethoyizi, njengoba lilincane futhi lingangena kalula entendeni yesandla sakho. Insikazi ifinyelela ku-10 - 11 cm ubude, isisindo sayo singahluka kusuka ku-30 kuye ku-90 gram, abesilisa - kuze kufike ku-9.5 cm ubude nesisindo esingu-50 gram.
Ukunakekelwa kweMoleki nendlela yokuphila
IMoleki isebenza kuphela ngezikhathi zasemini. Ukuvuka ekuseni, isilwane esihuquzelayo okokuqala sithatha amanzi okugeza ilanga ukukhuphula izinga lokushisa lomzimba, elehle phakathi nobusuku, bese lilandela endaweni esebenza njengendlu yangasese futhi lapho likhona kuphela elikhulula khona.
Ukunyakaza kwesigcini, njengokujwayelekile, kuhamba kancane, ukunyakaza kwenziwa ngemilenze eyeluliwe nomsila ophakanyisiwe noma ovundlile, ocishe ungalokothi uthinte umhlabathi.
Elilinganisiwe lihola indlela yokuphila yodwa, inensimu yalo yokuzingela nokuzilibazisa. Lesi sikhala ngokuvamile silinganiselwe kumamitha-skwele angama-30. amamitha anezindawo ezihlukile zokubhekana nazo, ukuphumula, ukulala, ukufihla nokudla.
UMoloki umba imingxuma emincane, futhi, njengoba esemhlabathini othambile, angazingcwaba ngokuphelele ngesikhathi sengozi. Uma isilwane esihuquzelayo sisemhlabathini oqinile, umsebenzi waso omkhulu ukufihla ikhanda esitheni, futhi lokhu sikwenza ngobuchule, sigobise ikhanda phansi siphokophele phambili ekukhuleni okunameva entanyeni yaso, okusebenza “njengekhanda elingamanga”, ngaleyondlela likhohlise umhlaseli.
Uhlelo olunjalo lusebenza kahle - phela, uma isilo siluma ikhanda elingelona iqiniso, ngeke sesabe, ngaphezu kwalokho, isitho esingelona iqiniso simbozwe ngameva acijile, okungukuthi, isitha ngeke sisakwazi ukuqeda umsebenzi waso kuze kube sekupheleni.
Izinyoni ezidla futhi ziqaphele izibankwa zibhekwa njengezitha zemvelo zesikhumba. Kungabonakala sengathi umzimba ocikiziweyo wesigcilikisha awesabi uzipho oluqinile nangoqhwaku, kodwa-ke, yize ubukeka usabeka, lokhu kuyisidalwa esingenabungozi ngokuphelele esingenalo ithuba lokumelana nokulwa nomzingeli, ngoba asinakho ukuluma okunesihlungu noma uzipho olubukhali.
Futhi, ukuvikela UMoloki ingafuthana ngomoya ukuze ikhulise usayizi wayo, ishintshe umbala ube nsundu ngokujiyile bese iqhwa inganyakazi isikhathi eside ukufihla ubuso.
Ngenxa yokubukeka kwayo okungavamile, abathandi abaningi be-terrarium bangathanda thenga i-lizard molochKodwa-ke, lesi silwane esihuquzelayo asijwayeleki empilweni yokuthunjwa futhi sidinga ukunakekelwa okuqondile.
Moloch umsoco
IMoleki isebenzisa kuphela izintuthwane njengokudla. Inqubo yokuzingela iqukethe ukuthola umzila wezintuthwane. Imvamisa, imizila eminingana enjalo idlula endaweni yesibankwa.
Njengoba isifikile endaweni eseyivele idliwe yokudla, imoloch ihlala phansi eduze futhi ngolimi olunamathelayo ibamba izintuthwane ezidlulayo (leyo enesikhumba yenza okuhlukile ezinambuzaneni ezithwala umthwalo omkhulu). Ngosuku olulodwa, isirhubuluzi singagwinya izintuthwane eziyizinkulungwane eziningana.
Inqubo yokuthatha ubisi oluwuketshezi nobisi nayo ayijwayelekile. Akaphuzi ngomqondo ojwayelekile wegama. Umzimba wonke wesibankwa umbozwe imigudu emincane lapho umswakama ongene emzimbeni uthuthela enamathiseleni bese isibankwa sigwinya. Ngakho-ke, imoloch ithola inani lomswakama elidingayo kuphela ngenxa yamazolo asekuseni. Ngemuva kokungena emanzini, isisindo se-reptile singakhuphuka ngo-30%.
Ukuzala kanye nesikhathi sokuphila semoloch
Isikhathi sokukhwelana siqala ngoSepthemba kuya kuDisemba. Ngalesi sikhathi, abesilisa baqala ukuzifunela abangane babo, abakwaziyo ukunqoba amabanga amade, bashiye indawo abahlala kuyo unomphela (abangayenzi ngaphansi kwanoma yiziphi ezinye izimo).
Masishane ngemuva kokukhwelana, obaba abancane babuyela empilweni yabo elinganisiwe edlule, kepha omama abakhulelwe banomsebenzi onzima - ukuthola nokufihla ngokucophelela umgodi azobekela kuwo amaqanda akhe. Ngemuva kokubeka, insikazi ibuye ifihle umgodi ngaphandle bese ihlanganisa yonke imikhondo eholela endaweni eyimfihlo.
Inani lamaqanda abekwayo lingahluka kusuka ku-3 kuye ku-10, amawundlu avela ezinyangeni ezi-3.5 kuye kwezingu-4. Izingane zinesisindo esingu-2 gram no-6 millimeters ubude, kepha noma ngabe zinobukhulu obuncane kangaka, zimele ikhophi yomuntu omdala ngokushesha.
Njengoba zichanyuselwe eqandeni, zidla igobolondo, bese ziqala indlela yazo zikhuphuke zivela emgodini. Ukufinyelela kusayizi wabazali omncane isibungu molochesivele ifana ne- udrako kuzothatha cishe iminyaka emihlanu. Isikhathi sokuphila semoloch endle yiminyaka engama-20.
