I-Agami (igama lesiLatini elithi Agamia agami) iyinyoni yomndeni we-heron. Lezi zinhlobo ziyimfihlo, hhayi eziningi, zisakazeka ngezikhathi ezithile.
Inyoni ye-Agami yasabalala
U-Agami uhlala eNingizimu Melika. Ukusabalalisa kwabo okuyinhloko kuhlotshaniswa namabhasi we-Orinoco ne-Amazon. Ububanzi be-agami busuka empumalanga yeMexico ngasenyakatho, budlule eBelize, eGuatemala, eNicaragua, e-El Salvador, eHonduras, ePanama naseCosta Rica. Umngcele oseningizimu wokusatshalaliswa kwalezi zinhlobo ugudla umugqa osogwini olusentshonalanga yeNingizimu Melika. Empumalanga, lolu hlobo lutholakala eFrench Guiana.
Ikholoni elikhulu kunawo wonke elaziwayo (cishe ngamabhangqa angama-2000) lisanda kutholakala kulezi zindawo. Lezi zinhlobo zinabela eningizimu-mpumalanga yeFrench Guiana, zidlule eSuriname naseGuyana. I-Agami iyinhlobo engavamile eVenezuela.
Izindawo ze-Agami
I-Agami iyinhlobo ehlala phansi. Izinyoni zihlala emaxhaphozini angaphakathi ezweni. Izimbokodo ezinamahlathi ziyizindawo eziyinhloko zokudla, izihlahla nezihlahlana ezibalulekile ekuhlaleni ubusuku bonke nasezidlekeni. Lolu hlobo lwezindwandwe lutholakala emahlathini aminyene asezindaweni ezishisayo, ngokuvamile emaphethelweni exhaphozi elincane, umfula, osebeni lomfula. U-Agami naye uhlala emihlangeni. E-Andes, zikhuphukela endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-2600.
Izimpawu zangaphandle ze-agami
I-Agami yizinkumbi ezinemilenze emifushane ngobukhulu obuphakathi nendawo. Imvamisa zinesisindo esisuka ku-0.1 kuye ku-4.5 kg, kanti ubukhulu bazo bufinyelela kumamitha ayi-0.6 kuye ku-0.76. Umzimba wezindwandwe mfushane, uyakhungatheka futhi ugobile ngentamo ende ngokungenakulinganiswa nangoqhwaku oluncane. Uqhwaku lwawo oluphuzi lubukhali, luyi-13.9 cm ubude, okuyingxenye yesihlanu yobude bomzimba obuphelele. I-Agami inezimpaphe ezinesici, ezikhanyayo nezinemibala emibili. Ingaphezulu lekhanda limnyama ngombala oluhlaza okotshani. Izinyoni ezindala zinezimpaphe ezigqamile, ezimise okwejazi ezinhlangothini zamakhanda azo.
I-crest ibonakala kakhulu ngesikhathi sokukhwelana, lapho izimpaphe ezinjenge-ribbon ezinjenge-ribbon ziphephuka ekhanda, futhi izimpaphe ezikhanyayo ezinjengezinwele zimboza intamo nangemuva, zakhe iphethini enhle evulekile. Ingaphansi lomzimba linsundu nge-chestnut; amaphiko angama-turquoise amnyama, anemithambo ensundu ebusweni be-ventral kanye ne-dorsal. Izimpiko zibanzi ngokungavamile, zinezimpaphe eziyisi-9 kuya kweziyi-11. Izimpaphe zomsila zifushane futhi ansundu ngokukhanyayo ngombala. Abesilisa bahlukaniswa ngombala ogqamile wezimpaphe. I-agami encane inezimpaphe ezimnyama, ezinesinamoni, ezijika zibe nsundu nge-chestnut njengoba zikhula. Abasakhulayo babuye babe nezimpaphe eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emakhanda abo, isikhumba esibomvu, luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngamehlo, futhi kumnyama phansi ngemuva nasekhanda. I-frenulum nemilenze kuphuzi, i-iris i-orange.
Ukusakazwa kwe-Agami
I-Agami yizinyoni ezizodwa. Zakha emakoloni, kwesinye isikhathi zihlangene nezinye izinhlobo. Abesilisa bangabokuqala ukufuna indawo yokwakha izidleke. Ngesikhathi sokuzala, abesilisa bakhipha izimpaphe ezincane eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emakhanda abo kanye nezimpaphe eziluhlaza eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngemuva kwemizimba yabo, ezivame ukubhampa zishikizise ukuheha abesifazane. Ngasikhathi sinye, ezeduna ziphakamisa ikhanda zibheke phezulu, bese zilithoba ngokungazelelwe, zishwibeka izimpaphe zazo. Izidleke ze-Agami ikakhulukazi ngenkathi yemvula, kusuka ngoJuni kuya kuSepthemba. Izidleke zihlelwe ezihlahleni noma ezihlahleni ngaphezulu kwamanzi ngaphansi kombhede ominyene onqabile. Ilungele indawo yesidleke: izihlahlana ezikude zemihlume, amagatsha ezihlahla ezomile, iziqu zemithi ezintantayo emachibini okufakelwa, izihlahla ezimile emanzini emaxhaphozini.
Izidleke zifihlwe kahle ezimileni. Ububanzi bawo bungu-15 cm, kanti ukuphakama kungama-cm 8. Izidleke zibukeka njengeplatifomu evulekile, ephakeme eyenziwe ngamahlumela, ilenga esihlahleni ebangeni elingamamitha ayi-1-2 ukusuka ebusweni bamanzi. E-clutch kukhona amaqanda aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka asuka ku-2 kuye ku-4. Isikhathi sokufukamela, ngokufanisa nezinye izindwandwe, cishe izinsuku ezingama-26. Zombili izinyoni ezindala zifukamela i-clutch, zishintshane. Lapho insikazi iphakela, eyeduna ibheka isidleke. I-agami yokwakha izidleke ithola ukudla emaxhaphozini nasemahlathini omhlume osogwini, endiza amakhilomitha ayi-100 ukusuka esidlekeni sawo. Insikazi ifukamela ibamba, izalela iqanda lokuqala, ngakho amaphuphu avela ngezikhathi ezingafani. Kuphela ngemuva kwamasonto ayisithupha kuya kwayi-6 izinyoni ezincane zithole ukudla ngokwazo. Isikhathi sokuphila se-Agami yiminyaka eyi-13 -16.
Ukuziphatha kwe-Agami
U-Agami uvame ukuma ecwile emabhange, emadamini, ezihlahleni, noma emagatsheni alenga phezu kwamanzi, efuna inyamazane. Bebezulazula kancane emanzini angajulile onqenqemeni lwemifula noma amachibi ngenkathi bezingela izinhlanzi. Uma kunengozi, kukhishwa i-alamu yesigubhu ephansi.
Ama-Agami ayizinyoni ezihlala zodwa, eziyimfihlo iningi lempilo yazo, ngaphandle kwenkathi yokuzalanisa.
I-agami yesilisa ikhombisa indlela yokuziphatha lapho kugadwe indawo yabo.
Ukudla kwe-Agami
Izinhlanzi ze-Agami emanzini angajulile ogwini olunotshani. Imilenze yabo emifushane nentamo yabo ende iyashintshwa ukuze ihlwithe inhlanzi emanzini. Izinyoni ezisexhaphozini ziyama zinganyakazi, noma zihamba kancane, endaweni ejulile, ukuze izimpaphe zazo ezingezansi entanyeni zithinte amanzi. Isisulu esiyinhloko se-agami yizinhlanzi ze-haracin ezinosayizi kusuka ku-2 kuye ku-20 cm noma ama-cichlids.
Okusho umuntu
Izimpaphe ezimibalabala ze-agami zithengiselwa abaqoqi ezimakethe. Izimpaphe ziqoqelwa izigqoko ezibizayo ngamaNdiya ezigodini zaseNingizimu Melika. Abantu bendawo basebenzisa amaqanda e-agami ukuthola ukudla.
Isimo sokongiwa kwe-agami
I-Agami ibhalwe ohlwini olubomvu lwezinhlobo ezisengozini. Izinsongo zamanje zokuba khona kwezindwandwe ezingavamile zihlobene nokugawulwa kwamahlathi e-Amazon. Ngokusho kwezibikezelo, i-agami isivele ilahlekile kusuka ku-18.6 kuye ku-25.6% yezindawo zazo zokuhlala. Imisebenzi yokongiwa kwemvelo ifaka phakathi ukulondolozwa kwendawo yezindwandwe ezingandile nokwandisa ukuxhumana kwezindawo ezivikelwe, kwakheke izindawo eziyizinyoni ezibalulekile. Ukusinda kwalezi zinhlobo kuzosizwa ukusetshenziswa okunengqondo kwezinsizakusebenza zomhlaba kanye nokuvinjelwa kokugawulwa kwamahlathi, imfundo yezemvelo yezakhamizi zendawo.
