Umkhumbi wempi onemizila emithathu oseningizimu (iTolypeute matacus) ungowebutho lempi.
Ukusatshalaliswa kwempi yasemizileni emithathu eseningizimu
Umkhumbi wempi onemizila emithathu uhlala eNingizimu Melika: enyakatho nasenkabeni ye-Argentina, eMpumalanga naseCentral Bolivia nasezingxenyeni ezithile zeBrazil neParaguay. Indawo yokuhlala isukela eMpumalanga Bolivia naseningizimu-ntshonalanga yeBrazil, idlula eGran Chaco yaseParaguay, e-Argentina (esifundazweni saseSan Luis).
Izindawo zokuhlala zempi yasemizileni emithathu eseningizimu
I-armadillo eseningizimu enemizila emithathu itholakala ikakhulukazi ezimfundeni noma emaxhaphozini eduze kwamahlathi omile noma ama-savanna. Eningizimu, le nhlobo ivame ukutholakala engxenyeni eyoma kakhulu yeGran Chaco. Ukusuka ezingeni lolwandle kufinyelela endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-800 (e-Argentina).
Izimpawu zangaphandle zempi yaseningizimu yemizila emithathu
Umkhumbi wempi onemizila emithathu unobude bomzimba cishe obungu-300 mm, umsila - 64 mm. Isisindo: 1.4 - 1.6 kg. Izembatho ezihlanganisa umzimba zihlukaniswe ngamagobolondo amabili aphethwe, anemichilo emithathu yezikhali phakathi kwawo, exhunywe yimichilo yesikhumba eguquguqukayo. La majika avumela umzimba ukuba ugobe phakathi futhi uthathe ukuma kwebhola, ngakho-ke umkhumbi wempi onemizila emithathu ungaphenduka kalula ube ibhola eliyingozi. Umbala we-integument unombala onsundu, imivimbo yezikhali imbozwe ngegobolondo elijiyile elinesikhumba, okuvame ukuhlukaniswa ngemivimbo emithathu. Lezi zembatho zimboza umsila, ikhanda, imilenze kanye nangemuva kwesilwane. Umsila mkhulu kakhulu futhi awunyakazi. Isici esivelele se-armadillo yaseningizimu enemigqa emithathu: kufakwe izinzwane ezintathu eziphakathi emilenzeni yangemuva ngozipho olujiyile, olufana nezinselo. Izinzwani zangaphambili zihlukanisiwe, kukhona ezine zazo.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwempi yasemizileni emithathu eseningizimu
Ama-armadillos aseningizimu nemizila emithathu azala kusukela ngo-Okthoba kuya kuJanuwari. Insikazi ithwala inzalo izinsuku eziyi-120, kuvela izinyane elilodwa kuphela. Uzalwa eyimpumputhe, kodwa ukhula ngokushesha okukhulu. Insikazi yondla inzalo amasonto ayishumi. Lapho-ke le nqola yempi encane iba ezimele futhi ithola umgodi wayo onamaphaseji noma izifihla ezimileni eziminyene. Lapho isinezinyanga eziyi-9 - 12, ingazala. Isikhathi sokuphila se-armadillos eseningizimu yemizila emithathu emvelweni asaziwa. Bahlala ekuthunjweni iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-17.
Ukuziphatha kwempi yasemizileni emithathu eseningizimu
Ama-armadillos asemizileni emithathu angabantu abahamba kakhulu. Banekhono eliyingqayizivele lokugoqa ibhola, livikela ekuhlaselweni. Kepha kusele isikhala esincane phakathi kwamapuleti, lapho i-armadillo ikwazi ukulimaza umhlaseli. Lapho umhlaseli efaka isidladla noma isifonyo kule gebe ku-carapace ngomzamo wokufinyelela ezingxenyeni ezithambile zomzimba, i-armadillo ivala ngokushesha igebe, ibangele ubuhlungu nokulimala esitheni. Leli gobolondo elivikelayo lisebenza kahle kakhulu ekugcineni izinga lokushisa lomoya elifanele futhi ngaleyo ndlela longa ukushisa. Ama-armadillos aseningizimu anemizila emithathu ngokuvamile ayizilwane ezizodwa, kodwa kwesinye isikhathi ahlangana ngamaqembu amancane. Abazimbeli imigodi yabo, kepha basebenzisa imingxuma ye-anteater elahliwe noma benze imigodi yabo ngaphansi kwezimithi eziminyene. Ama-armadillos aseningizimu anemizila emithathu anendlela ethokozisayo ye-locomotion - ehamba ngemilenze yawo yangemuva ngasemathonjeni ezinyawo zawo, engathinti neze umhlaba. Lapho zisongelwa ngokuphila, izilwane ziyakwazi ukugijima ngokushesha okukhulu ukugwema ingozi. Futhi, i-armadillo esongelwe ebholeni isisulu esilula somuntu, ungamane uyithathe ngezandla zakho.
Ukondla umkhumbi wempi onemizila emithathu oseningizimu
I-armadillo eseningizimu enemizila emithathu inokudla okubanzi okubandakanya izinhlobo ezingenamgogodla (izibungu zebhungane), kanye nenani elikhulu lezintuthwane kanye nomuhlwa ngenkathi eyomile, amajikijolo nezithelo. Ifuna izintuthwane nomuhlwa, i-armadillo ivivinya umhlabathi ngesifonyo sayo, ibuka amagxolo ezihlahla futhi idiliza izidleke ngezidladla zayo ezinamandla nezinzipho.
Isimo sokongiwa kwempi yasemizileni emithathu eseningizimu
Ama-armadillos asemizileni emithathu ezindaweni zawo anabantu abayi-1.9 nge-km2 eyodwa. Inani labantu liyancipha, ikakhulu ngenxa yokuzingela okukhulu nokulahleka kwezindawo zokuhlala. Usongo olukhulu luvela kubantu ababulala izilwane ukuze bathole inyama. Ama-armadillos asemizileni emithathu athunyelwa ema-zoo nasezimakethe zezilwane, ngakho-ke ngesikhathi sokuhamba kunenani eliphakeme lokufa kwabantu. Ngenxa yalokhu, lolu hlobo lubhekene nokwehla okukhulu kwamanani futhi lusengozini kuLuhlu Olubomvu lwe-IUCN. Izinqola zempi eziseningizimu zemizila emithathu zikhona ezindaweni eziningana ezivikelekile ezihlinzeka ngokuvikelwa ekubhujisweni kwendawo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinyoni zezinyoni zalezi zinhlobo zigcinwa eNyakatho Melika.
