Inyoka kaButler's garter (Thamnophis butle butle) ingeye-squamous oda.
Ukusabalala kwenyoka kaButler
Inyoka kaButler isatshalaliswa eningizimu yeGreat Lakes, e-Indiana nase-Illinois. Kunabantu abahlala bodwa eSouthern Wisconsin naseningizimu ye-Ontario. Ngaphesheya kobubanzi, izinyoka zeButler garter zivame ukutholakala kubantu abahlala bodwa njengendawo yokuhlala ekhethwayo ngokubhujiswa okucekeleke kakhulu kwendawo yabantu.
Izindawo zokuhlala zenyoka kaButler.
I-Butter's Garter Snake ithanda izindawo ezinotshani ezimanzi nama-steppes. Kuvame ukutholakala eduze kwamachibi anexhaphozi nasemaphethelweni amachibi. Kwesinye isikhathi kuvela ezindaweni ezisemadolobheni nasemadolobheni, kwakheka izinyoka eziningi kakhulu. Ukukhethwa kwama-biotopes athile kusiza ukunciphisa ukuncintisana nezinhlobo ezihlobene.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zenyoka kaButler.
I-Butter's Garter Snake yinyoka encane, ekhuluphele enemigqa emithathu ephuzi noma e-orenji echazwe kahle ebude bayo bonke, ibonakala ngokusobala ngasemuva kombala omnyama, onsundu noma womnqumo. Kwesinye isikhathi kunemigqa emibili yamachashaza amnyama phakathi komugqa ophakathi nemivimbo emibili eseceleni. Ikhanda lenyoka lincane, alibanzi kakhulu kunomzimba walo. Izikali ziyakhishwa (kubude bonke bomqolo). Isisu sinombala oluhlaza okotshani noma ophuzi onamachashaza amnyama emaphethelweni. Abantu abadala bafinyelela kubude obungamasentimitha angama-38 kuye kwangama-73.7. Izikali zakha imigqa eyi-19, i-anal scutellum eyodwa.
Iduna lincane kancane kunensikazi futhi linomsila omude kancane. Izinyoka ezincane zivela ngobude bomzimba obungu-12.5 kuye ku-18.5 cm.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwenyoka kaButler.
Izinyoka zikaButler zizala minyaka yonke ngemuva kokuphuma ebusika. Lapho izinga lokushisa lomoya likhuphuka, abesilisa bakhwelana nabesifazane. Abesifazane bayakwazi ukugcina isidoda kusuka ekuhlanganisweni kwangaphambilini (okungenzeka ukuthi kwenzeke ekwindla) futhi bakusebenzise ukuvundisa amaqanda entwasahlobo.
Lolu hlobo lwenyoka luyi-ovoviviparous. Amaqanda avundiswa ngaphakathi komzimba wowesifazane, inzalo ikhula ngaphakathi komzimba wakhe.
Maphakathi noma ekupheleni kwehlobo, kuvela amawundlu angama-4 kuye kwangama-20. Izinsikazi ezinkulu, ezondliwa kangcono, zikhiqiza izinyoka ezincane kakhudlwana kudoti. Izinyoka ezincane zikhula ngokushesha, ziyakwazi ukuzala entwasahlobo yesibili noma yesithathu. Ukunakekela inzalo ezinyokeni zikaButler akukaze kuqashelwe. Izinyoka ziyaqhubeka zikhula ezimpilweni zabo zonke.
Bavuka ebusika, bashiya izindawo zabo zobusika badle ezindaweni zasehlobo ngokudla okuningi.
Isikhathi sokuphila sezinyoka zikaButler emvelweni asaziwa. Isikhathi sokuphila esirekhodwe kakhulu ekuthunjweni yiminyaka eyi-14, ngesilinganiso seminyaka eyisithupha kuya kwengu-10. Izinyoka emvelweni azihlali isikhathi eside kangako ngenxa yokuhlaselwa kwezilwane eziyingozi kanye nemiphumela yemvelo
Ukuziphatha kwenyoka kukaButler
Izinyoka zikaButler zivame ukusebenza kusukela ngasekupheleni kukaMashi kuya ku-Okthoba noma ngoNovemba unyaka ngamunye. Zibonakala kaningi entwasahlobo nasekwindla, futhi ziba sebusuku phakathi nezinyanga zasehlobo. Lapho kubanda, izinyoka zicasha ezindaweni ezingaphansi komhlaba, zingene emigodini yamagundane, noma zicashe emigodini yemvelo noma ngaphansi kwamatshe. Lezi yizinyoka ezinesinyenyela, futhi zisebenza kakhulu kusihlwa.
Lezi zinyoka zihlala zodwa, yize ngesikhathi sobusika zihlangana ezindaweni zobusika.
Izinyoka zikaButler, njengazo zonke izilwane ezihuquzelayo, zinegazi elibandayo futhi zigcina izinga lokushisa lomzimba wazo ngokukhetha izindawo ezincane ezahlukahlukene ngezikhathi ezithile zonyaka. Imvamisa zigcwala emadwaleni noma emhlabathini ongenalutho, ikakhulukazi lapho zigaya ukudla. Ngokuncipha kwezinga lokushisa lomoya, umsebenzi wezinyoka uyancipha, futhi bakhasa ezindaweni ezicashile.
Lezi yizilwane ezingenalo ulaka nezinamahloni. Zifihla ngokushesha lapho izitha zisondela futhi azihlaseli ukuze zilume. Ukwesabisa isitha, izilwane ezihuquzelayo zijikijela ngodlame ngapha nangapha ngomzimba wazo wonke, ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, zikhipha izinto ze-fetid.
Izinyoka zikaButler, njengazo zonke izinyoka, zibona imvelo yazo ngezindlela ezikhethekile.
Isitho esikhethekile esibizwa ngokuthi isitho seJacobson sisetshenziselwa ukuthola ukunambitheka nephunga. Lesi sitho sinemigodi emibili yezinzwa ekhethekile esemaphethelweni omlomo wenyoka. Ngokushesha ikhipha ulimi lwayo, inyoka ibonakala ngathi iyawuzwa umoya, ngalesi sikhathi ithwala ama-molecule ezinto ezisemoyeni, ezingena esithweni sikaJacobson. Ngale ndlela ekhethekile, izinyoka zithola futhi zihlaziye imininingwane eminingi ngemvelo. Lezi zilwane ezihuquzelayo ziyazwela nokudlidliza. Banendlebe yangaphakathi kuphela futhi mhlawumbe bangathola imisindo yemvamisa ephansi. Uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izinyoka, izinyoka zikaButler zinamehlo amahle kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, umbono uyisitho esiyinhloko sokubona imvelo. Ngomunye nomunye, izinyoka ngokuyinhloko zixhumana ngamanye ngama-pheromones, adingekayo ukukhuthaza ukuzala.
Ukondla i-Garter Snake kaButler
Izinyoka zikaButler zidla izikelemu zomhlaba, izingulube, ama-salamanders amancane namaxoxo. Futhi badla i-caviar, inhlanzi ne-shellfish.
Indima ye-ecosystem yenyoka kaButler
Izinyoka zikaButler zithatha indawo ebalulekile yemvelo ebangeni labo. Zisiza ukulawula inani lezikelemu, izingwe kanye nama-slugs futhi zingumthombo obalulekile wokudla ezilwaneni ezidla ezinye lapho zitholakala khona ngobuningi bazo. Zizingelwa ama-raccoon, ama-skunks, izimpungushe, amagwababa, ama-hawks.
Okusho umuntu.
Izinyoka zikaButler's Garter Snakes zibhubhisa ama-leeches nama-slugs alimaza izingadi nezingadi zemifino. Ayikho imiphumela emibi eyaziwayo yalezi zinyoka kubantu.
Isimo sokulondolozwa kwenyoka kaButler
Izinyoka zikaButler's zivame kakhulu ukwedlula abazala bazo abakhulu. Bathola izinsongo ekucekelweni phansi kwendawo yabo ngabantu kanye nezinye izinguquko ezimeni zokuphila. Ezindaweni zokuhlala ezimanzi, izinyoka zikaButler zinyamalala kakhulu ngejubane elisheshayo. Amakoloni amakhulu ezinyoka asengaphila ezindaweni ezincane, ngisho nasezindaweni zasemadolobheni ezilahliwe, kepha la makoloni aqedwa ngolunye usuku lapho ugandaganda edlula emhlabathini ukulinganisa umhlaba. Izinyoka zikaButler zibhalwe ku-Indiana Red Book. Bahlala ezindaweni lapho kugawulwa khona amahlathi futhi bachuma kwezinye izindawo ezisemadolobheni, kodwa futhi bayanyamalala ngokushesha ezindaweni ezisakhiwa ngabantu ukuze kwakhiwe. Ezinhlwini ze-IUCN, lolu hlobo lwenyoka lunesimo Sokukhathazeka Okungencane.
