Inyoka enempumulo eningizimu (Heterodon simus) kungokwase-squamous oda.
Ukusatshalaliswa kwenyoka ekhalelwa ngeningizimu.
Eliseningizimu elinempumulo ene-hook livame kakhulu eNyakatho Melika. Itholakala eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-United States, ikakhulukazi eNyakatho naseNingizimu Carolina, ogwini oluseningizimu yeFlorida, kanti entshonalanga ifinyelela eMississippi. Kuyinto engavamile kakhulu engxenyeni esentshonalanga yebanga eMississippi nase-Alabama.
Indawo yokuhlala yenyoka enamachopho yaseningizimu.
Indawo yokuhlala yenyoka yenyoka yaseningizimu ivame ukufaka izindawo zehlathi elinesihlabathi, amasimu, izikhukhula ezomile zemifula. Le nyoka ihlala ezindaweni ezivulekile, ezingamelana nesomiso, izinzile izindunduma zesihlabathi ezisogwini. Inyoka enezintambo eziseningizimu ihlala emahlathini kaphayini, emahlathini e-oki-pine ahlanganisiwe kanye nasezixekweni, amahlathi e-oki namasimu amadala kanye nezikhukhula zemifula. Uchitha isikhathi esiningi egubha emhlabathini.
I-hooknose eseningizimu isivele itholakale ezindaweni ezipholile, lapho ibanga lokushisa lingaphansi kwamadigri angama-20 ebusika kuye ezingeni lokushisa eliphezulu ezinyangeni zasehlobo.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zenyoka enamachopho yaseningizimu.
Inyoka eningizimu ene-hook yinyoka enempumulo ebukhali ebheke phezulu nentamo ebanzi. Imibala yesikhumba isukela kokuphuzi kuye kokukhanyayo ngokukhanyayo noma okumpunga, futhi ivame ukuba bomvu ngombala. Umbala uhlala ungaguquguquki, futhi izinyoka azinazo izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zemibala eguqukayo. Izikali zikhishwe, zitholakala emigqeni engama-25. Ingxenye engezansi yomsila ilula kancane. Ipuleti lendunu lihlukaniswe phakathi. Inyoka eningizimu ene-hook yizinhlobo ezincane kunazo zonke kuhlobo lweHeterodon. Ubude bomzimba wayo buphakathi kwamasentimitha angama-33.0 kuya kwangu-55.9. Abesifazane bavame ukuba bakhulu kunabesilisa. Kulezi zinhlobo, amazinyo akhulisiwe atholakala ngemuva komhlathi ongaphezulu. La mazinyo afaka ubuthi obuncane esilwaneni futhi abhoboze kalula isikhumba samasele njengebhaluni ukujova ubuthi. Ingxenye engaphambili ebuthuntu yomzimba yenzelwe ukumba udoti wehlathi kanye nenhlabathi okucashe kuyo inyamazane.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwenyoka ekhalelwa ngaseningizimu yaseningizimu.
I-clutch yenyoka ekhalelwa eningizimu ivame ukuba namaqanda ayi-6-14, abekwa ngasekupheleni kwentwasahlobo noma ekuqaleni kwehlobo.
Ukuziphatha kwenyoka ekhalelwa ngekhanda yaseningizimu.
Izinyoka ezinamakhala aseNingizimu zaziwa kakhulu ngokuziphatha kwazo okuyinqaba lapho kuvela izidalwa ezizingelayo. Kwesinye isikhathi zididaniswa nezinyoka ngoba zibonisa ikhanda nentamo eyisicaba, zihayiza kakhulu futhi zifuthisa umzimba ngomoya, zikhombisa ukucasuka okuphezulu. Ngalokhu kuziphatha, izinyoka ezinamachopho aseningizimu zisabisa izitha. Uma isilwane singasuki noma sicasule okwengeziwe ngezinyoka, zijika ngomhlane, zivule imilomo, zenze ukunyakaza okuningana, bese zilala phansi zinganyakazi, njengabafileyo. Uma lezi zinyoka ziphendulwa futhi zabekwa kahle, zifake imihlane yazo, zisheshe ziphinde zibhekise phansi futhi.
Izinyoka ezinamakhala aseNingizimu eziseningizimu zizimela zodwa, futhi hhayi ndawonye nezinye izinyoka, ziyasebenza ngisho nasezinsukwini ezibandayo.
Ukondliwa kwenyoka ekhalelwa ngamakhala yaseningizimu.
Eyaseningizimu ene-hook esele isivele izondla ngamasele, amaxoxo kanye nezibankwa. Lolu hlobo luyisilwane esidla imvelo ehlathini
Izinsongo enyokeni eningizimu ekhalelwa ngamakhala.
Inyoka enamachopho okuseningizimu isivele imelwe ezindaweni eziningi ezihlala zingaguquki, eNyakatho Carolina kuphela kunenqwaba yabantu balolu hlobo lwezinyoka. Isibalo sabantu abadala asaziwa, kodwa kukholakala ukuthi okungenani siyizinkulungwane ezimbalwa. Kuyinyoka efihlekile, egqobayo okunzima ukuyibona, ngakho-ke lolu hlobo lwezinhlobo lungaba luningi kakhulu kunalokho okubonisiwe. Kodwa-ke, izinyoka ezinamachopho aseningizimu azivamile kakhulu kulo lonke uhla lomlando.
EFlorida, kukalwa njengokungajwayelekile, kepha kwesinye isikhathi kusatshalaliswa endaweni. Kepha kunoma yikuphi, kube nokuncipha okukhulu kwenani labantu ezizukulwaneni ezintathu ezedlule (iminyaka eyi-15) futhi kungeqa i-10%. Esinye sezici esinomthelela ekwehleni kungaba ukusatshalaliswa kwentuthwane yomlilo obomvu engenisiwe ezifundeni ezithile. Ezinye izinto ezithinta kabi inani lezinyoka: ukulahleka kwendawo yokuhlala ngenxa yemisebenzi yezolimo enamandla, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukusetshenziswa okubanzi kwezibulala-zinambuzane, ukufa kwabantu emgwaqeni (ikakhulukazi izinyoka ezisencane eziphuma emaqandeni), ukuqothulwa komzimba kuphela.
Eyaseningizimu ene-hook esele isivele igcinwe ezifundeni kancane ezingxenyeni eziphakeme ezishintshiwe.
Izindlela zokonga inyoka yenyoka yaseningizimu.
Eyaseningizimu ene-hook esele isivele ihlala ezindaweni ezivikelwe, lapho izindlela zokuvikela zisebenza kuyo, njengazo zonke ezinye izinhlobo zezilwane. Kodwa-ke, lezi zinyoka kubonakala sengathi zinyamalale ezindaweni ezithile ezinkulu ezivikelekile ezinezindawo zokuhlala ezihlanzekile. Izindlela ezisemqoka zokuvikelwa kwalolu hlobo: ukuvikelwa kwamahlathi amakhulu alungele ukuhlala; ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane ezinhlotsheni ezikhethwayo zokuhlala; ukwazisa umphakathi ngokungabi bungozi kwalezi zinhlobo zezinyoka. Ucwaningo luyadingeka futhi ukuthola izici ezinomthelela ekwehleni okusheshayo kwamanani. Lapho nje izizathu zokwehla sezitholakele, kungenzeka ukuthi kugwenywe ukuqothulwa okuqhubekayo kwezinyoka ezinamachopho aseningizimu.
Isimo sokongiwa kwenyoka yenyoka yaseningizimu.
Eyaseningizimu ene-hook kakade isinciphisa ngokushesha inani layo kulo lonke uhla lwayo. Kukholakala ukuthi inyamalale ngokuphelele ezifundeni zayo ezimbili. Izici eziyinhloko eziba nomthelela ekwehleni zibandakanya ukufudukela emadolobheni, ukonakaliswa kwendawo, ukwanda kwezintuthwane ezibomvu, ukwanda kokudla kwamakati nezinja ezilahlekile, nokungcola. Inyoka eningizimu ene-hook ikuluhlu lwenhlangano yezilwane ezisengozini futhi ithathwa njengezilwane ezisengozini. Ohlwini Olubomvu lwe-IUCN, inyoka engavamile ihlukaniswe njengeSengozini. Inani labantu libala abantu abangaphansi kwabangu-10 000 futhi liyaqhubeka nokwehla ezizukulwaneni ezintathu ezedlule (kusuka eminyakeni engu-15 kuye kwengu-30), futhi inani labantu abalinganiselwa kubantu abalinganiselwa kwabangaphezu kuka-1000 abavuthiwe ngokocansi.
