AbaseSomaliya bakholelwa ukuthi ufudu oludliwe lwengwe lusebenza njenge-aphrodisiac. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isetshenziselwa ukulungiselela izidakamizwa zokwelashwa kwezifo zamaphaphu, kufaka phakathi ukukhwehlela isikhathi eside, ukusetshenziswa kanye nesifuba somoya.
Incazelo yofudu wengwe
Ezwenikazi lase-Afrika, uGeochelone pardalis (ingwe / ufudu we-panther) ungowesibili kuphela kulofudu olukhuthazekile ngosayizi, lukhula lube cishe u-0.7 m ubude ngobunzima obungu-50 kg. Lolu ufudu olunentamo efihliwe olusonga intamo yalo lapho ikhanda lidonswa ngaphansi kwegobolondo libhalwe ngohlamvu lwesiLatini "S"... Amanye ama-herpetologists, ngokususelwa ekuphakameni kwe-carapace, ahlukanisa ama-subspecies amabili eGeochelone pardalis. Abaphikisana nabo bayaqiniseka ukuthi lolu hlobo aluhlukaniseki.
Ukubukeka
Ufudu lwengwe lufihla ngaphansi kwegobolondo elide, elifana nedome, neliphuzi. Lapho isilwane sincane, amaphethini amnyama ahluke kakhulu ezihlangwini: ngobudala, iphethini ilahlekelwa ukukhanya kwayo. I-carapace elula kunazo zonke ezihuquzelayo ezihlala e-Ethiopia.
Okuphezulu kuhlale kumnyama ukwedlula isisu (plastron). Ufudu ngalunye lufaka isikimu sombala esikhethekile, ngoba iphethini ayiphindwa. Ngenxa yokuthi i-dimorphism yezocansi ayivezwa kahle, kuyadingeka ukuthi kusungulwe ubulili ngenkani, kuguqulwe ufudu ngemuva.
Okubalulekile! Umsila omude, i-notch ku-plastron (hhayi njalo) kanye ne-side (ngaphezulu kwesizinda sabesifazane) i-carapace izokutshela ukuthi kukhona owesilisa ophambi kwakho.
Ngosayizi, abesifazane baphansi kunabesilisa... Ngokwezibalo ezisemthethweni, insikazi enkulu kunazo zonke, enesisindo esingama-20 kg, ikhule yafika ku-49.8 cm, kanti ufudu olukhulu lwengwe lwesilisa ludle lwafika ku-43 kg ngobude obungu-0.66 m. U-Eddo (South Africa), ehlulekile ngo-1976 ukuphuma emgodini wakhe.
Intamo, ikhanda elicocekile, umsila nezitho zezilwane ezihuquzelayo zimbozwe izikali ezinama-horny. Intamo ihamba kalula ngaphansi kwe-carapace, futhi ibuye ijike kalula iye kwesokudla / kwesobunxele. Amazinyo wofudu lwengwe awekho, kodwa esikhundleni sawo kufakwa uqhwaku oluqinile olune-horny.
Indlela yokuphila nokuziphatha
Ngenxa yemfihlo yesirhubuluzi, indlela yaso yokuphila ayiqondakali kahle. Kuyaziwa, isibonelo, ukuthi ujwayele ukuba nesizungu futhi uhlala emhlabeni. Ngokufuna ukudla, uyakwazi ukuhamba ibanga elide futhi ngokungakhathali. Ufudu lwengwe lunamehlo abekezelelekayo (ngokuhlukanisa imibala): ikakhulukazi yonke into ebomvu iyayibamba. Uzwa njengezinye izimfudu, hhayi kahle kakhulu, kepha unephunga elihle kakhulu. Indlala eyindunu, eveza imfihlo ebukhali, yenza imisebenzi emibili - isabisa isitha futhi ihehe umlingani.
Kuyathakazelisa! Ufudu lwengwe lwenzela ukungabikho kwe-calcium ngokugaya amathambo ezilwane ezifile nokudla indle yempisi. Ngakho-ke i-carapace ithola umsoco owudingayo.
Kusukela elangeni elikhipha umkhovu etsheni, lesi silwanyane sibalekela emgodini, esizimba sona, kepha kaningi sisebenzisa izimbobo okusuke kuzo izidleke, izimpungushe nezimpungushe. Kukhasa kungabonakali lapho ukushisa kudamba noma kuqala ukuna.
Zihlala isikhathi esingakanani izimfudu zengwe?
Kukholelwa ukuthi emvelweni, ama-panther turtles aphila kuze kube yiminyaka engama-30-50, futhi ekuthunjweni - kuze kube yiminyaka engama-70-75.
Indawo yokuhlala
Uhla lofudu lwengwe ludlulela kakhulu ezwenikazi lase-Afrika kusukela eSudan / Ethiopia kuya emaphethelweni aseningizimu yezwekazi.
Izilwane ezihuquzelayo zitholakala emazweni afana nalawa:
- I-Angola, iBurundi neBotswana;
- ICongo, iKenya neMozambique;
- IRiphabhlikhi yaseJibouti, iMalawi ne-Ethiopia;
- INamibia, iSomalia neRwanda;
- ISouth Sudan neNingizimu Afrika;
- ITanzania, i-Uganda neSwaziland;
- IZambia neZimbabwe.
Izilwane zithanda izindawo ezomile noma ezinameva ezisezinkangala ezomile noma amathafa lapho kunezinhlobonhlobo zezimila. Izimfudu ze-Panther nazo zibonwe kaningi ezintabeni endaweni ephakeme ngamakhilomitha ayi-1.8-2 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle. Mountain ezihuquzelayo, njengoba umthetho, zinkulu kunezilwane ezihuquzelayo flat.
Ukudla kofudu lwengwe
Endle, lezi zilwane ezihuquzelayo zidla amakhambi kanye nama-succulents (euphorbia, pear prickly and aloe). Kwesinye isikhathi bayazula baye emasimini, lapho benambitha khona amathanga, amakhabe nemidumba. Ekuthunjweni, ukudla kwezilwane kuguqulwa ngandlela thile: kufaka hlathi, okubaluleke kakhulu ebusika, nemifino emisha emisha. Uma ungafuni ukuthi ufudu lwakho lube nenkinga yokudla, ungadluli ngemifino nezithelo ezinamanzi.
Inyama akufanele ibe khona kwimenyu ye-panther turtle - lo mthombo wamaprotheni (kanye nemidumba) kubangela ukwanda kwawo, kodwa futhi kuholela ezifweni zezinso nezesibindi.
Okubalulekile! Lokhu okwedlule akufanele kuphakelwe izimfudu ezifuywayo - imidumba ine-phosphorus / calcium encane, kepha inamaprotheni amaningi, avusa ukukhula okungafuneki kwezilwane ezifuywayo.
Ingwe, njengazo zonke izimfudu, idinga i-calcium ngokuphelele amandla nobuhle begobolondo: le nto idingeka kakhulu ezihuquzelayo ezisencane nezikhulelwe. Izithako ze-calcium (njengeRepto-Cal) zivele zengezwe ekudleni.
Izitha zemvelo
Izembatho zemvelo azilusindisi ufudu lwezingwe ezitheni eziningi, okuyizinto ezibucayi kakhulu kubantu... Abantu base-Afrika babulala izimfudu ukuze badle inyama namaqanda abo, benze imithi ehlukahlukene, ama-totem okuvikela nobuciko obuhle be-carapace.
Izitha zemvelo zesirhubuluzi zibizwa nangokuthi:
- izingonyama;
- izinyoka nezibankwa;
- izimbila;
- izimpisi;
- izimpungushe;
- ama-mongooses;
- Amagwababa nezinkozi.
Izimfudu, ikakhulukazi ezigulayo nezibuthakathaka, zicasulwa kakhulu amabhungane nezintuthwane, ezidla ngokushesha izingxenye ezithambile zomzimba wofudu. Kanye nezinambuzane, izilwane ezinwabuzelayo zilawulwa yi-helminths, ama-parasites, isikhunta namagciwane. Izimfudu zasekhaya zisongelwa yizinja eziluma u-carapace namagundane adla imilenze / umsila wofudu.
Ukuzala nenzalo
Ngokwemvelo, ukuvuthwa kokuzala ku-panther turtle kuqala eneminyaka eyi-12-15, lapho ikhula ibe ngamasentimitha angama-20-25. Ekuthunjweni, izilwane ezihuquzelayo zikhula ngokushesha okukhulu futhi zifinyelele lolu sayizi ngeminyaka engu-6-8. Kusukela kulo mzuzu bangaqala ukukhwelana.
Isikhathi sokuzalela ufudu ingwe nguSepthemba - Okthoba. Ngalesi sikhathi, abesilisa bayahlangana ngamabili, bezama ukugumbuqela isitha emhlane. Owinile uphatha insikazi: ngesikhathi sokuya ocansini, udonsa intamo yakhe, atshekisele ikhanda lakhe kumlingani wakhe futhi akhiphe imisindo yokuhoshozela.
Kuyathakazelisa! Ku-clutch kunamaqanda ayi-5-30 ayindilinga anobubanzi obungu-2,5 kuya ku-5 cm.I-Herpetologists iphakamisa ukuthi ukuma nosayizi wamaqanda kuncike esifundeni sendawo yokuhlala. Uma kunamaqanda amaningi, ufudu uwabeka ngongqimba, awahlukanise nomhlabathi.
Ngenkathi, ikakhulukazi abesifazane abavundile bayakwazi ukwenza imikhuba emithathu noma ngaphezulu. Ukufukamela ekuthunjweni kuvame ukuthatha izinsuku eziyi-130-150, emvelweni - kufika ezinsukwini eziyi-180. Ngaphansi kwezimo zangaphandle ezingathandeki, ukufukamela kubambezelekile kuze kube yizinsuku ezingama-440 (!). Izimfudu zizalwa zilungele ngokuphelele impilo ezimele.
Inani labantu kanye nesimo sezinhlobo
Izimfudu zengwe zidliwa yizinhlanga ezihlukene ezihlala eZambia naseningizimu ye-Ethiopia... Ngaphezu kwalokho, abelusi baseTopiya basebenzisa amagobolondo avela ezifudu ezincane ezihlatshiwe njengezinsimbi. AbaseSomaliya baqoqa izilwane ezihuquzelayo ukuze ziqhubeke nokumakethwa ziye eChina naseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, lapho amakhaphethi abo edingeka khona kakhulu.
Futhi, lolu hlobo lofudu luthengiswa ngenkuthalo edolobheni laseMto Wa Mbu (eNyakatho neTanzania). Lapha, eNyakatho neTanzania, kuhlala isizwe sama-Ikoma, esibheka lesi silwane esihuquzelayo njengesilwane saso. Kulezi zinsuku, lolu hlobo lubhekwa njengokuzinza impela, yize kufe izimfudu ngesikhathi kuqubuka imililo njalo eMpumalanga Afrika (eTanzania naseKenya). Ngo-1975, ufudu lwengwe lwalubhalwe ku-CITES Isithasiselo II.
