"Isipoki sehlathi" - ngakho abomdabu mayelana. Inyoni i-kagu iyindawo ehehayo neyokuziqhenya yendawo, okwathi, nokho, ayizange ivimbele abahlali bakulesi siqhingi ukuba balethe lolu hlobo endaweni esengozini.
Incazelo yenyoni kagu
Waba ukubonga okudumile kuYves Letokar, isazi sezinyoni esafunda i-kagu engxenyeni eseningizimu yeFr. INew Caledonia, lapho kuneRiviere Ble National Park. URhynochetos jubatus uyilungu le-oda elifana ne-Crane, elimele uhlobo, uhlobo kanye nomndeni wegama elifanayo, uKagu.
Ukubukeka
Le nyoni, enokuphakama kwengxenye yemitha, isisindo sayo esingangekhilogremu (0.7-1.2 kg) futhi yakhiwe njengenkukhu: i-kagu inomzimba ominyene nekhanda elincane lihleli entanyeni emfushane. Isigaxa eside (12 cm), esihlobisa ikhanda, sibonakala kuphela enyonini exokozelayo - iqonde bese iphenduka i-mohawk eluhlaza, ikhuphukela phezulu.
Kuyathakazelisa! Izimpaphe zikhululekile: ngaphansi kwezimpaphe zilula, ngaphezulu - ngandlela thile zimnyama. Ithoni ejwayelekile enezimpiko ezigoqiwe ibukeka njenge-monochrome (emhlophe noma empunga womlotha), kepha imivimbo engalingani emnyama, ebomvu ngokubomvu nomhlophe ivela ezimpikweni ezisakazekile.
Amehlo amnyama okusaqanda abheka ngqo phambili, avumela inyoni ukuthi ithole ukudla ngokushesha... Uqhwaku olude ngokulingene lumagobile futhi lunombala osawolintshi noma ophuzi. Imilenze ye-kagu inobude obumaphakathi, obomvu ngokusawolintshi (kwesinye isikhathi upholile), mncane, kodwa uqinile. Ingxenye engezansi yomlenze ongezansi ayinazo izimpaphe, izinyawo ezinezinzwane ezinezinzipho ezicijile.
Ngaphakathi kohlobo, i-dimorphism yezocansi ayivezwa, kepha ama-kagu uqobo (ngenxa yezici zawo ezihlukile zokuziphatha) awakwazi ukudidaniswa nezinye izinyoni ezihlala eNew Caledonia.
Indlela Yokuphila
U-Yves Letokar wabuye wazitholela lezi zinhlobo hhayi nje kuphela kwabanye ababheki bezinyoni, kepha nakwezazi zezinto eziphilayo ezifunde impilo yezenhlalo yezilwane ngokuhambisana nemithetho yabantu. Izazi zezokuhlalisana kwabantu zamangazwa indlela ukuxhumana kwezinyoni zaseNew Caledonia okufana ngayo nokuxhumana kwabantu, ikakhulukazi izihlobo eziseduze.
Kuyathakazelisa! U-Letokar ufakazele ukuthi ama-kagu ajwayelene nemiqondo efana nokuthi "umndeni", "ukunakekela odade / abafowethu abancane" kanye "nokusiza abazali". Kwavela ukuthi ukusizana kwaba yithuluzi elengeziwe lokusinda kwezinhlobo.
Ukuxhumana nabantu besizwe sakithi, izinyoni zisebenzisa izwi - ukuhayiza, ukuhayiza, ukuqhekeza nokukhonkotha, kwesinye isikhathi kuzwakale kusuka ku-1-2 km. Ama-kagu ayindawo: umndeni uhlala esizeni samahektha ayi-10-30. Emini, bayaphumula, behleli emifantwini enamadwala noma ngaphansi kwezimpande zezihlahla eziguquliwe, bevuseleleka lapho kuqala ukuhwalala.
Uma kunesidingo, gijima ngokushesha, unqobe amahlathi aminyene. Kwesinye isikhathi i-kagu iyeka ukugijima iqine khona lapho, ibone okungaba yisisulu sayo. Zindiza ngokungathandi nangokuvamile. Abaqaphi bezinyoni banesiqiniseko sokuthi lapho ukundiza kwakulula kumagu njengakwezinye izinyoni, kepha lawa makhono emvelo alahleka ngokungadingekile. Vala i-nepotism nayo inephutha: i-kagu encane ikhula kancane, ihlukane sekwephuzile kude nabazali bayo futhi izenzele eyayo ngababili.
Isikhathi sokuphila
Ukuvuthwa isikhathi eside nokuzala sekwedlule isikhathi kunika lezi zinhlobo isikhathi eside sokuphila... U-Yves Letokar uphakamise ukuthi ama-kagu aphile okungenani iminyaka engama-40-50. Abanye abalindi bezinyoni abanathemba kangako futhi bakholelwa ukuthi endalweni izinyoni zihlala kuze kufike ku-15, futhi ekuthunjweni - kuze kube yiminyaka engama-30.
Indawo yokuhlala
Ngesinye isikhathi iNew Caledonia yayiyingxenye yeGondwana (izwekazi elikhulu eSeningizimu Nenkabazwe), kodwa eminyakeni engaba yizigidi ezingama-50 edlule, yahlukana nayo, yaqala uhambo lwamahhala. Ngemuva kokuwela i-Pacific Ocean, lokhu kwakhiwa kwesiqhingi kumise empumalanga ye-Australia futhi kwathola ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izimbali / izilwane ezihlukile.
Okubalulekile! I-Kagu yaziwa njengenye yezinhlobo ezitholakala eNew Caledonia. Lezi zinhlobo zithanda amahlathi asezindaweni ezishisayo, ethafeni nasezintabeni. Ngesikhathi semvula, izinyoni zingena ezihlahleni eziminyene, lapho ungacasha khona ngaphansi kwamaqabunga aminyene.
Ngisho nangeminyaka engama-200 eyedlule, i-kagoo yatholakala cishe kuyo yonke iNew Caledonia, kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, izindawo zayo zokuhlala zancipha zaya ezindaweni ezinezintaba ngaphakathi kwalesi siqhingi.
Ukudla kwezinyoni ze-Kagu
Itafula le-kagu licebisa ukudla okunamaprotheni, okufunwa yile nyoni ebusweni nangaphansi komhlaba:
- izimbaza;
- izibungu;
- izinambuzane / izibungu;
- izicabucabu nama-centipedes;
- ama-vertebrate amancane afana nezibankwa (kuyaqabukela).
Ngokuguquka, i-kagu yathola izihlangu zobuqili ezivale amakhala (ayikho enye inyoni enethuluzi elinjalo). Ngenxa yalezi zingqimba zangaphandle, ama-kagu angazulazula emhlabathini ngaphandle kokwesaba ukuvala umlomo wawo.
Izitha zemvelo
Ngaphezu kwakho konke, i-kagu yahlushwa abantu abavela eziqhingini cishe eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezi-3 eyedlule futhi baqala ukuzingela izinyoni ezinkulu nezinamahloni. Le ndoda ayibulalanga i-kagu kuphela, kepha ibabambe nokuthi bazoyithengisa emakethe njengezinkukhu.
Kuyathakazelisa! Abakholoni baseFrance abafika lapha maphakathi nekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye nezilwane zabo - amagundane, amakati, izinja nezingulube - nabo baba nomthelela ekuqothulweni kwalezi zinhlobo.
Lezi zilwane ezethulwe seziyizitha ezimbi kakhulu zikaguge, zibulala izinyoni kuso sonke isiqhingi.
Ukuzala nenzalo
UKagu ungumuntu oyedwa futhi uthembekile kulabo abakhethiwe impilo yabo yonke. Isikhathi sokukhwelana singo-Agasti - Januwari. Ngalesi sikhathi, izinyoni zigeleza nge-duet, zimile "ubuso nobuso" ngama-mohawks namaphiko asakazeke kabanzi. Ingoma yothando iyathandeka, ihlala cishe imizuzu eyishumi futhi iyafana ne- "Va-va, va-vava-va" edonselwe ngaphandle Abalingani benza le misindo ngokushintshana, ngezikhathi ezithile bazungeza i-eksisi yabo futhi babambe iphiko / umsila wabo ngomlomo wabo.
Kuyathakazelisa! Ngenkathi iphuphu likhula, zonke izihlobo, kufaka phakathi abazali, odadewabo abadala nabafowabo, ziyamnakekela. Bamlethela ukudla (iminenke, izinambuzane, izibungu) futhi baqaphe isidleke. Izibopho zomndeni zatholwa nguYves Letokar, owakhipha zonke izingane ze-kagu unyaka nonyaka.
Ngokuzwana nokuhlangana ngempumelelo, lo mbhangqwana uyaqhubeka nokwakha isidleke esilula (amahlamvu awo namagatsha). Insikazi ibeka iqanda elilodwa elibomvu, lapho abazali bahlala ngokushintshana, beshintshana njalo ngosuku. Ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingama-36, iphuphu lichamusela eqandeni, limbozwe ngompunga omnyama phansi... Ngemuva kwezinsuku ezine, usana olusanda kuzalwa lukhasa buthule luphume esidlekeni, kuthi lapho selunenyanga eyodwa selivele selikulungele ukuphila ngokuzimela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-ornithologist yafakazela ukuthi izinyoni ezincane azijahile ukudala izithandani, zihlala nabazali bazo kuze kube yiminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-9 (!) Futhi zisiza umndeni.
Inani labantu kanye nesimo sezinhlobo
UKagu uhlukaniswe njengohlobo olusengozini yokuqothulwa... Ngaphezu kwabazingeli kanye nabazingeli abavela kwamanye amazwe, ubukhulu besibalo sabantu bathintekile ukwehliswa kwebanga ngenxa yephutha labavukuzi nabagawuli bemithi. Ngenkathi uYves Letocard eqala ukutadisha lolu hlobo, kwakukhona cishe ama-60 kagu esifundazweni saseRivière Bleue. Ngawo-1980, izakhamuzi zaseNew Caledonia zalalela izexwayiso zososayensi futhi ekugcineni zathatha ukuqothulwa kwamagundane, izinja zasendle namakati.
Ngo-1992, kwakukhona cishe ama-kagu angama-500 ngaphandle kweRivière Bleue, kanti esifundazweni uqobo (ngo-1998) inani labantu lenyuka laba ngabantu abadala abangama-300. Namuhla, kunezinyoni ezingaphezu kuka-500 esiqiwini iRiviere-Ble National Park. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uKagu waqala ukuzala e-Zoo eNoumea (New Caledonia). Kodwa-ke, izinyoni njengezilwane ezisengozini yokuqothulwa zisesehlwini lwe-CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).
