Ufudu oluyisicaba (uNatator depressus) ungowe-oda lofudu.
Ukusatshalaliswa kofudu oluyisicaba.
Ufudu oluyisicaba luvame kakhulu e-Australia futhi kuyaqabukela luqhele kude nezindawo ezisatshalaliswa kakhulu emanzini asenyakatho ye-Australia. Ngezikhathi ezithile, ifudukela eTropic of Capricorn noma emanzini asogwini ePapua New Guinea ifuna ukudla. Ububanzi buhlanganisa i-Indian Ocean - empumalanga; Pacific Ocean - Ningizimu-ntshonalanga.
Indawo yokuhlala yofudu oluyisicaba.
Ufudu olunamapulangwe luthanda isisekelo esingajulile futhi esithambile eduze nogu noma amanzi asogwini amatheku. Imvamisa ayifuni ukuhamba ngomkhumbi eshalofini lasezwenikazi futhi ayiveli phakathi kwezixhobo zamakhorali.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zofudu oluyisicaba.
Ufudu oluyisicaba lukhulu ngokulinganisela kufika ku-100 cm futhi lunesisindo esingama-70 - 90 kilograms. I-carapace iyithambo, ingenawo amaqolo, iflethi, i-oval noma i-round shape. Ipendwe ngombala ompunga nomnqumo ngephethini elinsundu ngokukhanyayo noma ophuzi kufiphele onqenqemeni. ICarapax isongwe ngomphetho futhi imbozwe ngesikhumba. Izitho zimhlophe qwa.
Ezimfudu ezincane, izikhukhula zihlukaniswa ngephethini ebonakalayo yethoni emnyama empunga, phakathi kukhona izigaxa zombala womnqumo. Abesifazane abadala bakhulu kunabesilisa, kepha abesilisa banemisila emide. Kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane banamakhanda ayindilinga, okuvame ukuba luhlaza okomnqumo ngombala, afane nombala wegobolondo. I-underbelly imhlophe noma iphuzi.
Isici esivelele kakhulu kulezi zimfudu igobolondo lazo elibushelelezi, elivikelayo, elijikela phezulu emaphethelweni.
Isici esisodwa esithokozisayo sezimfudu ezinamapulangwe ayisicaba ukuthi igobolondo lazo lincane kakhulu kunelabanye abafudu basolwandle, ngakho-ke ingcindezi encane (ngokwesibonelo, ukushaya iplastron ngamaphiko) kungadala ukopha. Lesi sici yisona sizathu esikhulu esenza ukuthi izimfudu ezinamapulangwe zigweme ukubhukuda ezindaweni ezinamadwala phakathi kwezixhobo zamakhorali.
Ukuzalela ufudu oluphansi emuva.
Ukukhwelana ngezimfudu ezinamabhece kwenzeka ngoNovemba nangoDisemba. Enye indawo lapho ukufuywa kwezinsikazi kubhekwe khona kuseMon Repos Island, etholakala kumakhilomitha ayi-9 enyakatho-ntshonalanga yedolobha elisogwini iBundaberg, eQueensland. Kunezindawo ezizalela amaqanda. Le ndawo okwamanje iyindawo yokulondolozwa kwemvelo enokufinyelela okulinganiselwe kwabavakashi.
Izinsikazi zimba izidleke zazo emithambekeni yezindunduma. Amaqanda angaba ngu-51 mm ubude, inani lawo lifinyelela kumaqanda angama-50 - 150. Izimfudu ezibuyela emuva zibeletha zineminyaka engu-7 - 50 ubudala. Ngokwemvelo, baphila isikhathi eside ngokuqhathaniswa, kuze kube yiminyaka eyi-100.
Ukuziphatha kofudu olusekelwa Flat.
Akukho okuningi okwaziwayo ngokuziphatha kwezimfudu ezisemaflethini olwandle. Abantu abadala babonakala bephumula eduze kwamatshe noma ngaphansi konqenqema lwamatshe, kuyilapho izimfudu ezincane zilala phezu kwamanzi.
Zingahlala ngaphansi kwamanzi amahora amaningana ngaphambi kokuphefumula okulandelayo.
Izimfudu ezibuyela emuva zibhukuda kakhulu, okwandisa amathuba azo okutakula lapho zihlaselwa yizilwane ezizingelayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuvela abasha ebusuku, ngakho-ke ubumnyama bubavikela njengoba izimfudu zijwayela indawo yazo entsha.
Ukondla ufudu oluyisicaba.
Izimfudu ezibuyela emuva zifuna inyamazane olwandle, thola ukhukhamba wasolwandle, ama-molluscs, ama-shrimps, i-jellyfish namanye ama-invertebrate emanzini angajulile. Ziyizilwane ezidla inyama futhi azivamile ukudla izitshalo.
Okusho umuntu.
Amaqanda amafudu asezingeni eliyisicaba aqoqwe isikhathi eside ezodliwa, kepha manje ukuqoqwa akuvunyelwe.
Lolu hlobo lwezilwane ezihuquzelayo luheha izivakashi.
Isimo sokongiwa kofudu oluyisicaba.
Izimfudu ezibuyela emuva zisengozini kuhlu olubomvu lwe-IUCN. Inani labantu liyancipha ngenxa yokuqongelelwa kokungcola emanzini olwandle, amagciwane, ukunciphisa indawo yokuhlala kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwezimfudu zamaqanda azo. Izimfudu zasolwandle zisongelwa izimpungushe ezivela kwamanye amazwe, ezizalisayo, izinja zasendle nezingulube.
Ukuvimbela izimfudu ezinamapulangwe angangeni ngengozi emanethini ngesikhathi sokudoba, kusetshenziswa umshini okhethekile wokuhlukanisa izimfudu, obukeka njengofele futhi otholakala ngaphakathi kwenetha, ukuze kubanjwe izinhlanzi ezincane kuphela. Izimfudu ezibuyela emuva zinobubanzi obulinganiselwe kakhulu bezinhlobo zohlobo lofudu lwasolwandle. Ngakho-ke, leli qiniso liyethusa futhi likhombisa ukwehla okuqhubekayo, bambalwa kakhulu abantu abatholakala ezindaweni zokuhlala, okukhombisa usongo lokuqothulwa.
