I-ring-tailed mongoose, nayo iyinsimbi enomsila (i-Galidia elegans) ingeka-oda wezilwane ezidla inyama.
Ukusatshalaliswa kwe-mongoose enomsila.
I-mongoose enomsila isatshalaliswe esiqhingini saseMadagascar, esisogwini oluseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Afrika. Ihlala enyakatho, empumalanga, entshonalanga nasenkabeni yesiqhingi.
Indawo yokuhlala kwemongoose enomsila.
I-ring-tailed mongoose itholakala ezindaweni ezinomswakama ezishisayo nezishisayo zaseMadagascar, ezindaweni eziphansi ezinomswakama ezishisayo namahlathi asezintabeni, emahlathini asezindaweni ezishisayo ezomile. Lezi zinhlobo zihlanganisa indawo engaba ngu-650878 ha.
Kusatshalaliswe esifundeni saseMontagne ohlangothini olusenyakatho nempumalanga, kufaka phakathi emahlathini asogwini kuze kufike kumamitha ayi-1950. I-mongoose enomsila ayitholakali ezindaweni eziningi ezisentshonalanga futhi yaziwa kuphela emiqamuzaneni yama-limestone nasemahlathini aseduze kwaseNamorok naseBemarakh. Lo mgibeli we-agile, kwesinye isikhathi ubonakala ezihlahleni, ubuye abe ngumbhukudi onekhono, azingela ama-crayfish emanzini angenasawoti. Kubonakala emahlathini aphakeme aqonde ngqo ehlathini lokuqala, futhi angahlala emaphethelweni ehlathi, budebuduze nezindawo ezinokulima nokushisa.
Ama-mongoose anomsila wethanga nawo atholakala ngenkuthalo ezindaweni ezihlazekile zehlathi; kodwa-ke, ukusatshalaliswa kwabo kuncipha eduze kwamadolobhana, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuzingela okukhulu kwama-mongoose.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zemongoose onomsila.
Ama-mongoose anomsila onjenge-ring yizilwane ezincane eziqhathaniswa nobude obusuka ku-32 kuye ku-38 cm nobunzima obusuka ku-700 kuye ku-900 gram. Zinomzimba omude, ozacile, ikhanda eliyindilinga, isifonyo esicijile, nezindlebe ezincane, eziyindilinga. Banemilenze emifushane, izinyawo ezinewebhu, izinzipho ezimfushane, nezinwele emilenzeni engezansi. Umbala woboya bunombala onsundu ngokubomvu ekhanda nasemzimbeni futhi umnyama emilenzeni. Njengoba igama liphakamisa, i-mongoose enomsila, inde, ijiyile, inomsila, njenge-raccoon, enamasongo amnyama nobomvu.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwe-mongoose enomsila.
Ngesikhathi sokuzala kusukela ngo-Ephreli kuya kuNovemba, ama-mongoose anomsila atholakala eyedwa noma ngababili. Cishe iyinhlobo eyodwa, yize kungekho mininingwane esekelayo.
Abesifazane bathwala inzalo yabo kusuka ezinsukwini ezingama-72 kuya kwezingama-91, bazala izinyane elilodwa kuphela.
Ukubeletha kwenzeka phakathi kukaJulayi noFebhuwari. Ama-mongooses amancane afinyelela usayizi wabantu abadala cishe ngonyaka owodwa ubudala, futhi azala ngonyaka wesibili wokuphila. Akwaziwa noma izilwane ezindala ziyayinakekela yini inzalo yazo. Kodwa-ke, kungenzeka ukuthi, njengezinye izilwane ezidla ezinye, amawundlu ahlala emgodini nonina amasonto ambalwa aze avule amehlo. Izinsikazi zizala emgodini bese zondla izingane zazo ngobisi, njengazo zonke izilwane ezincelisayo. Isikhathi sokunakekelwa asaziwa, futhi alukho ulwazi mayelana nokubamba iqhaza kwabesilisa ekunakekeleni inzalo. Ama-mongoose anomsila weringi ahlala ekuthunjweni kuze kube yiminyaka eyishumi nantathu, kepha isikhathi sabo sokuphila endle kungenzeka sibe yingxenye yalokho.
Ukuziphatha kwe-ring-tailed mongoose.
Imininingwane ngokuziphatha komphakathi kwama-mongoose anomsila uyaphikisana ngandlela thile. Eminye imibiko ikhombisa ukuthi lezi zilwane ziyahlangana futhi zihlala ngamaqembu ezi-5. Abanye baveza ukuthi lezi akuzona izilwane ezijwayelene kakhulu nabantu, futhi zivame ukutholakala zodwa noma ngababili. Amaqembu ama-mongoose atholakele kwakungowesilisa, owesifazane, nezinye izilwane ezimbalwa, mhlawumbe umndeni. Ama-mongoose anomsila onjenge-arboreal angaphezulu kwezinye izinhlobo ezihlobene. Ziyasebenza emini futhi ziyadlala kakhulu. Ebusuku babuthana emigodini, abamba noma bachithe ubusuku emigodini.
Ukondla i-mongoose enomsila.
Ama-mongoose angumsila ayizilwane ezidlayo, kodwa futhi adla izinambuzane nezithelo. Ukudla kwabo kufaka izilwane ezincelisayo ezincane, izinambuzane ezingenamgogodla, izilwane ezinwabuzelayo, izinhlanzi, izinyoni, amaqanda kanye namajikijolo, nezithelo.
Izizathu zokwehla kwenani le-mongoose enomsila.
Ama-mongoose angumsila atholakala ezindaweni eziningi zemvelo ezivikelwe ngokukhethekile futhi asinda nasemahlathini aqhekekile. Njengezilwane eziningi zasehlathini eMadagascar, zisongelwa ukuqothulwa kwamahlathi komhlaba olinyiwe, ukuzingelwa kanye nomthelela omubi wezilwane ezidliwayo.
Ukuqedwa kwamahlathi nokugawulwa kwamahlathi kulo lonke uhla kuye kwanda kakhulu. E-Masoala National Park, isilinganiso sonyaka sokuqedwa kwamahlathi endaweni yocwaningo sikhuphuke safinyelela ku-1.27% ngonyaka. Le ndawo futhi inezinga eliphakeme lokuhlala ngokungemthetho kwabantu ezindaweni zokongiwa kwemvelo, abamba imayini ye-quartz futhi bagawule izihlahla zama-rose, ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-mongoose azingelwa kusetshenziswa izinja.
Ama-mongoose angumsila ashushiswa ngenxa yokucekela phansi amapulazi ezinkukhu futhi abeka engcupheni enkulu izidlo ezinomsila kulo lonke ihlathi lasempumalanga.
Kunezigodi ezine eMakira Natural Park, futhi kusukela ngo-2005 kuya ku-2011, kwabanjwa izilwane eziyi-161 ezidayiswa lapha. Izintengo eziphakeme zama-mongoose ziphoqa abazingeli ukuthi bagxile emizamweni yabo emahlathini angakabi bikho, lapho ama-mongoose anomsila asatholakala ngobuningi. Lesi yisilwane esincane esithengwa kakhulu esiwela kalula ezingibeni ezibekwe emahlathini. Ngakho-ke, lokhu kuchichima okubonakalayo kudala izinga eliphezulu lomsebenzi wokudoba ezungeze izindawo ze-anthropogenic. Abantu bendawo badla nenyama yezilwane, kanti ezinye izingxenye zama-mongoose (njengemisila) zisetshenziselwa izinhloso ezithile zomkhuba ngamanye amaqembu ezizwe. Ukuncintisana ne-civet encane yase-India eyethulwe kulesi siqhingi, amakati nezinja zasendle kusongela ama-mongoose anomsila ezingxenyeni ezahlukahlukene zobubanzi bawo. Aziveli ezindaweni lapho umsebenzi we-civet encane yaseNdiya uphezulu kakhulu.
Isimo sokongiwa kwemongoose omsila.
Ama-mongooses anomsila oklelisiwe afakwe kuhlu njengabasengozini kuhlu olubomvu lwe-IUCN.
Izinombolo kukholakala ukuthi zehle ngo-20% kule minyaka eyishumi edlule ngenxa yokwehla kwendawo nokuwohloka kwendawo.
Inkinga yokulahleka kwendawo yokuhlala yenziwa ukuncintisana okuvela kwi-civet encane yaseNdiya, kanye nezinja namakati alahlekile. Isimo sezinhlobo sisondela emkhakheni osongelwayo ngoba ezizukulwaneni ezintathu ezizayo (thatha njengeminyaka engama-20), kungenzeka ukuthi inani labantu lizokwehla ngaphezulu kwe-15% (futhi mhlawumbe nangaphezulu kakhulu), ikakhulu ngenxa yokuzingela okwandile, ukulandela umkhondo kanye nokuchayeka wethula izidlo.
Ukwehla kwenani lama-mongooses kusanda kukhuphuka kakhulu ngenxa yokwanda kokukhiqizwa kwezingodo ezindaweni ezingamahlathi nokwanda kokuzingela. Uma ukuqhubeka kokuwohloka kwendawo okuhlala kuyo kuqhubeka, kungenzeka ukuthi i-mongoose enomsila izobekwa esigabeni "esisengozini". Ama-mongoose angumsila akhona ezindaweni eziningi ezivikelekile ezibandakanya amapaki kazwelonke eRanomafan, Mantandia, Marudzezi, Montagne naseBemarah kanye nokubhuka okukhethekile. Kepha ukuhlala ezindaweni ezivikelekile akulondolozi ama-mongoose anomsila kusuka ezinsongweni ezikhona.
