Izici nendawo yokuhlala
Inkawu tarsier bohlobo lwamaPrimates, futhi bahlukile kuzo zonke izihlobo zabo ekubukekeni kwabo okungajwayelekile. Kungenxa yokubukeka kwabo okungavamile ukuthi babe ngamaqhawe amafilimu amaningi namakhathuni. Ngisho nge- isithombe kuyacaca ukuthitarsier, isilwane esincane kakhulu, esisindo saso somzimba singeqi amagremu ayi-160.
Abesilisa bathwala isisindo esikhulu kunabesifazane. Ukuphakama kwabo kungu-10-16 cm, futhi balingana kalula esandleni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zilwane ezincane zinomsila wamasentimitha angama-30 kanye nemilenze emide, ngosizo lwazo ezihlehlisayo.
Kuwo wonke amalunga emilenze, aneminwe emide, eguquguqukayo enezinsipho ezithweni, ezivumela izilwane ezinjalo ukuba zihambe kalula ezihlahleni.
Ubude beqa labo bungaba ngamamitha ambalwa ngenxa yesakhiwo esikhethekile semilenze. Uma kuqhathaniswa nomzimba wonke, ikhanda lalezi zilwane likhulu kakhulu kunomzimba wonke. Iphinde ixhunywe nomgogodla uqonde, okuvumela ukuthi uguqule ikhanda lakho cishe libe ngu-360˚.
Ngokuvamile I-tarsier yasePhilippines inezindlebe ezinkulu ezingezwa imisindo efinyelela kuma-90 kHz. Izindlebe kanye nomsila azimboziwe ngoboya, kepha umzimba wonke umboziwe.
Ebusweni kunemisipha elingisa eyenza isilwane sikwazi ukushintsha ukubukeka kobuso baso. Lezi zilwane zihlala eMhlabeni iminyaka eyizigidi ezingama-45 futhi ziyizinhlobo zezilwane ezindala kunazo zonke eziqhingini zasePhilippine.
Ngesinye isikhathi zazitholakala eYurophu naseNyakatho Melika. Kepha manje inani labo labantu lehle kakhulu futhi bangabonakala kuphela ezingxenyeni ezikude zeplanethi.
Isici esiyingqayizivele esinaso lesi silwane ngamehlo aso amakhulu. Ububanzi bawo bungafika ku-16 mm. Ebumnyameni, ziyakhanya futhi zimvumela ukuba abone kahle.
Umzimba wonke wesilwane umbozwe izinwele ezimnyama ezimfushane. Kungenxa yokukhethekile kwabo ukuthi abantu abaningi bafuna ukuzitholela izilwane ezinjalo.
Ku ukuthenga tarsier, udinga ukuya ezindaweni zabo zokuhlala, lapho abaqondisi bendawo nabazingeli banganikeza khona inketho efanelekile. Indawo yokuhlala kwalezi zilwane yiNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, futhi ikakhulukazi iSumatra kanye nePhilippines Islands.
Uhlamvu nendlela yokuphila
Ngokuvamile bahlala emahlathini aminyene, ezihlahleni. Kusesihlahleni lapho bachitha khona isikhathi sabo esiningi. Lezi zilwane zinamahloni kakhulu, ngakho zicasha ngamahlamvu aminyene emini. Kepha ebusuku baba ngabazingeli abanekhono abahamba ngokuzingela ukuze bazuze.
Bahamba phakathi kwezihlahla ngosizo lokugxuma, kepha kulokhu umsila usebenza njengesenzo sokulinganisa kubo. Baphila impilo eyedwa futhi bayizakhamuzi zasebusuku endleleni yabo yokuphila.
I-Tarsiers kuyaqabukela kwehlele phansi futhi ihlala njalo emagatsheni ezihlahla. Usuku, lesi silwane esincane singanqoba kuze kube ngamamitha angama-500, sidlule lapho sihlala khona. Ekuseni, bacasha esihlahleni balale.
Uma lesi silwane singeneliseki ngokuthile, khona-ke singakhipha ukukhala okucashile kakhulu, umuntu angezwa ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngezwi lakhe, wazisa abanye abantu ukuthi ukhona. Angakwazi futhi ukuxhumana nabanye abantu esebenzisa i-ultrasound kumvamisa we-70 kHz. Kepha indlebe yomuntu ingabona kuphela ama-20 kHz.
Ukudla kwe-Tarsier
Imvamisa, i-pygmy tarsier udla ama-vertebrate amancane nezinambuzane. Ngokungafani nazo zonke ezinye izihlobo zezinkawu, zidla ukudla kwesilwane kuphela, kepha azizidli izitshalo.
Ngesikhathi sokuzingela, zisesimweni sokulinda isikhathi eside, kuze kube yilapho inyamazane uqobo lwayo isondela kuyo noma isekude ngejubane elilodwa.
Ngezandla zabo, i-tarsier ingabamba isibankwa, intethe kanye nanoma yisiphi esinye isinambuzane, abasidla ngokushesha, banqume ikhanda ngamazinyo abo. Baphuza namanzi, beshaya okwenja.
Emini, i-tarsier ingadla ukudla okulinganiselwa ku-10% wesisindo sayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inezitha eziningi zemvelo, ezibandakanya izinyoni ezidla inyama (izikhova). Umonakalo omkhulu kuzo ubangelwa abantu namakati endle.
Abantu bazame kaningi ukuthambisa lesi silwane, kepha isilwane esizalelwe ekuthunjweni sifuna isikhala, yingakho ama-tarsier enze imizamo yokubaleka kaningi. Bayizilwane ezithanda inkululeko kakhulu, kepha abantu bazama ukuyiphuca zona.
Ngokuvamileintengo vula tarsier kuya ngesilwane uqobo nasendaweni lapho sizothengwa khona. Intengo ephansi kakhulu izoba sendaweni eseduze nendawo abahlala kuyo.
Ukuzala kanye nesikhathi sokuphila
Ama-Tarsier athathwa njengabantu abanesizungu futhi kuphela ngenkathi yokuzala lapho ebonakala ngababili. Ngokusho kweminye imithombo, owesilisa angahlangana ngasikhathi sinye nabesifazane abaningi ngasikhathi sinye, ngenxa yalokho okungazalwa ingane eyodwa kuphela.
Ngokwesilinganiso, ukukhulelwa komuntu wesifazane kuthatha cishe izinyanga eziyisithupha, bese ingane izalwa ngokushesha isilwane esikhule kakhulu. Ubamba umama wakhe ngesisu bese ehamba phakathi kwezihlahla naye. Phakathi namasonto ayisikhombisa okuqala empilo, udla ubisi lwebele, bese kamuva eshintshela ekudleni kwesilwane.
Namuhla lezi zilwane zisengozini enkulu. Ngemuva kwakho konke, umuntu akaqedi nje amahlathi lapho ahlala khona, kepha futhi uzama nokwenzai-lemur tarsier izilwane ezifuywayo. Imvamisa bayaphumelela ukwenza lokhu, noma kunjalo, ekuthunjweni, izilwane ziyafa ngokushesha.
I-tarsier yesifazane inezingono eziningana, kodwa isebenzisa kuphela amabele lapho uncelisa ingane. Ngemuva kwenyanga, ngemuva kokuzalwa, izinyane lingagxuma ezihlahleni. Ubaba akabambiqhaza ekukhuliseni ingane. Ama-tarsier awazenzi izidleke zezingane zawo, ngoba umama uhlala ehamba nazo.
Isilwane sifinyelela ekuvuthweni ngokocansi ngemuva konyaka owodwa wokuphila. Ngemuva konyaka owodwa, bashiya unina baqale ukuzihlalela bodwa. Isilinganiso, I-tarsier enamehlo unempilo engaba yiminyaka eyi-10.
Irekhodi lokuphila ekuthunjweni kwalesi silwane kwakuyiminyaka eyi-13.5. Zilingana entendeni yomuntu omdala ngosayizi, futhi zichitha isikhathi sabo esiningi zilele. Njalo ngonyaka inani labo liyancipha, yingakho lesi silwane sigadiwe ukuze sisindise lolu hlobo olungavamile.
