Izici nendawo okuhlala kuyo amakhala
Nosuha (kusuka eLatin Nasua) noma i-coati (kusuka eSpain Coati) uhlobo lohlobo lwezilwane ezincelisayo ezivela emndenini we-raccoon. Igama layo ikhala le-raccoon ngithole ngenxa yekhala elihlukile elihambayo, elifana nesiqu. Lesi silwane saqanjwa kanjalo ngabomdabu besinye sezizwe zaseNdiya, ngolimi lwaso kuzwakala njenge coatimundi, okusho ukuthi “coati” - ibhande, “mun” - “amakhala”.
Ubude bomzimba wesilwane, ngaphandle komsila, busuka kumasentimitha angama-40 kuye kwangama-70, umsila mude impela futhi uyathambile, ufinyelela osentimitha obungu-30-60 ngosayizi. Isisindo sabadala amakhala ka-raccoon ifinyelela ku-11 kg. Izitho zangemuva zesilwane zinde kunezangaphambili futhi zinamaqakala ahambayo, okuvumela ukuba zikhuphuke izihlahla zibheke phansi.
Izinzipho zinde impela futhi zisetshenziselwa ukuhamba ezindaweni ezimila nasezimileni, nasekukhipheni ukudla kumagxolo ezihlahla nasemhlabeni. Ikhanda linosayizi ophakathi nendawo, ngokulingana nomzimba, kuphume nezindlebe ezincane, eziyindilinga. Umbala womzimba wamakhala ubomvu onsundu, ubomvu-mpunga noma ubomvu-omnyama. Umsila unemigqa ngamasongo ashintshanayo amathoni alula anamnyama.
Ukuqonda okujwayelekile kokuvela kwalezi zilwane kungabukwa kwi-Intanethi kaningi ikhala lesithombe... Indawo yokuhlala yaseNosoha yizwekazi laseNyakatho nelaseNingizimu Melika. Lezi zilwane ezincelisayo zithanda ukuhlala emahlathini asezindaweni ezishisayo, kodwa futhi zitholakala onqenqemeni lwamahlane ngisho nasezintabeni ezinamagquma.
Yize kukhona amakhala nezilwane zomhlaba, bayakwazi ukubhukuda ngokuphelele futhi bathande ukukwenza. Ulwelwesi oluphakathi kweminwe lubasiza ukuba bahambe ngokushesha emanzini. Ngokuya ngendawo yokuhlala, kunezinhlobo ezintathu zamakhala: ikhala elijwayelekile, coati futhi ikhala UNelson.
Uhlamvu nendlela yokuphila
Umndeni wamakhala abahlali basemini, balala ebusuku, kaningi, ezindaweni ezihlonyelwe ezihlahleni - izidleke. Lezi zilwane zihamba ikakhulukazi emhlabeni, futhi zihamba kancane kakhulu - ijubane lokuhamba kwazo elijwayelekile alikho ngaphezu kwemitha elilodwa ngomzuzwana. Lapho kuzingelwa ukudla noma ingozi esondelayo, zingagijima ngokushesha okukhulu, kepha ebangeni elifushane kakhulu.
Izinsikazi ezinamazinyane zihlala ngamaqembu amancane abantu abahlanu kuya kwabangama-40, kanti abesilisa bahlala bodwa futhi beza emhlambini kuphela ngenkathi yokuzalanisa, kodwa akumangazi, kwabesifazane abafanayo. Ukulwa kwabesilisa kuvame ukwenzeka phezu kwezinsikazi, uma owesilisa wakwelinye izwe engafiki emhlambini wakhe.
INosoha, yize bengabomndeni wama-raccoon, kepha ngokungafani nabo, bayizilwane ezolile futhi zihlangana kalula nabantu. Efulethini ungaba nekhala, ulibeke ehokweni elibanzi, kepha uma unendlu yakho, i-aviary isilungele impela isilwane esinjalo.
Amakhala ekhaya ngokushesha bajwayele abanikazi babo, ungalumi noma uklwebhe emdlalweni. Ukuze indawo yokuhlala ejwayelekile yesilwane, ehokweni noma ezindlini zezinyoni, kuyadingeka ukubeka: indawo yokuhlala, ophuzayo, okondlayo kanye nezakhiwo zokuzikhuphuka, mhlawumbe lezi zakhiwo zingashintsha kalula izinkuni zezihlahla.
Ukuze kube lula ukuhlanza izindlu zalesi silwane, i-sawdust noma amahlamvu omile angabekwa phansi kwesibaya. Ukuze isilwane silule, kwesinye isikhathi kufanele sikhululwe, ngaphansi kolawulo oluqaphile, esibayeni.
Ukudla okunomsoco nosoha
Ukudla ikhala lesilwane amaxoxo, izibankwa, izilwane ezincelisayo ezincane, izinambuzane nezithelo zezithelo ezahlukahlukene. Ngakho-ke, lezi zilwane zingama-omnivores. Ukufunwa kokudla kuvame ukwenziwa ngamaqembu, kwaziswe abanye ababambiqhaza ekusesheni ngokutholakala kokudla noma ngengozi, ngesimo sezilwane ezinkulu ezidla ezinye, ngomsila ophakanyisiwe ophakeme kanye nekhwela elizwakalayo.
Amakhala afuna ukudla, esebenzisa i-trunk-ekhaleni lawo elimangalisayo, ehogela konke okubazungezile futhi ezwa ukudla ngomuzwa wazo wokuhogela. Uma ukufunwa kwesinambuzane kwenzeka esihlahleni noma emhlabathini, ngemuva kokuthi i-nosoha isitholile, ukukhishwa kwenzeka ngosizo lwezinzipho ezinde.
Uma isilwane esincane sisebenza ukunakwa kwesilwane, khona-ke ukuzingela kwenzeka kanjena: lapho kutholakala isibankwa, iselesele noma ezinye izilwane ezincelisayo, ikhala liyalijaha, libambe futhi lilume intamo, licindezele umzimba wesisulu emhlabathini, ngemuva kwalokho liyasibulala bese lisidla libe yizingxenye ezithile.
Uma u uthenge ikhala futhi uyigcine ekhaya, khona-ke kufanele inikezwe ukuthi idle izinhlanzi, inyama engenamafutha, amaqanda nezithelo (ama-apula, ubhanana, njll.), futhi lesi silwane asisoze senqaba i-cottage shizi.
Qiniseka ukuthi uhlala unamanzi amaningi ophuzayo. AmaNoos awakhethi kakhulu ngokudla. Ukudla kwansuku zonke komuntu omdala kufinyelela cishe ku-1-1.5 kg wokudla ngosuku.
Ukuzala kanye nesikhathi sokuphila
Ukuthomba nosoh kwenzeka kusukela eminyakeni emibili. Esikhathini lapho insikazi isilungele ukukhwelwa, eyeduna iza emhlambini, imvamisa ukuvikela inzuzo yayo kunensikazi ezimpini namanye amaduna. Ngemuva kwalokho, owine owesilisa umaka indawo yokuhlala izithandani ngephunga elibi futhi abanye abesilisa bayakugwema ukuba kulezi zindawo.
Isiko ngaphambi kokukhwelana lenzeka ngendlela yokuhlanza uboya besifazane ngendoda. Isikhathi sokwehla kwalezi zilwane sihlala cishe izinsuku ezingama-75-77. Ngaphambi kokubeletha, amasonto amabili kuya kwamathathu, insikazi iyaxosha eyeduna ishiye umhlambi, yenze isidleke ezihlahleni ukuzala amawundlu.
Inani labantu abazelwe livame ukusuka emakhaleni amabili kuya kwayisithupha amancane. Inzalo yethambo ikhula ngokushesha okukhulu futhi emva kwamasonto ama-4-5 insikazi enamachwane ibuyela emhlambini, lapho izinsikazi ezindala nezinsikazi ezingakaze zizale ziyamsiza ekukhuliseni inzalo.
Iqiniso elithandekayo ukuthi lapho benamasonto amabili kuya kwamathathu ubudala, amakhala amancane asevele azama ukuzulazula futhi kaningi azama ukuphuma esidlekeni esithokomele lapho azalelwa khona, kepha njengoba abesifazane ngemuva kokubeletha bahlala njalo namazinyane abo, bayazibamba bazibuyisele endaweni yazo.
Ngokwemvelo, kunzima kakhulu ukubona inzalo yalezi zilwane; abesifazane bazifihla kahle ezihlahleni ezidlekeni zazo. Ngakho-ke, ukubabheka, ungabheka ikhala lengane esithombeni... Isikhathi sokuphila se-nosoha siyiminyaka eyi-10-12, kepha kunabantu abaphila iminyaka eyi-17.
