I-kangaroo yesihlahla sikaBennett, igama lesiLatini lalesi silwane nguDendrolagus bennettianus.
I-Bennett tree kangaroo iyasakazeka.
I-kangaroo yesihlahla sikaBennett ivame kakhulu e-Australia. Isatshalaliswa emahlathini asezindaweni ezishisayo enyakatho-mpumalanga yeQueensland. IHabitat ilinganiselwe, inwebeka eningizimu ukusuka eMfuleni iDaintree, eNtabeni iAmos enyakatho, eWindsor Tablelands entshonalanga, naseNhlonhlweni yaseCape York eQueensland. Le ndawo ingaphansi kwamakhilomitha-skwele angama-4000. Ibanga lokusabalalisa ngaphezu kwezinga lolwandle kuze kufike kumamitha ayi-1400.
Indawo kaBennett yesihlahla se-kangaroo.
Isihlahla samaBennett kangaroo sihlala emahlathini asezingeni eliphakeme lehlathi lize liye emahlathini asezindaweni ezigcwele izikhukhula. Imvamisa itholakala phakathi kwezihlahla, kepha ivela emigwaqweni ngaphakathi kwendawo yayo, icosha amaqabunga nezithelo eziwele phansi.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zesihlahla seBennett kangaroo.
I-kangaroo yesihlahla seBennett ifana ngokubukeka nabanye abamele i-oda marsupials, kepha uma iqhathaniswa nezinhlobo zomhlaba, inezinqe zangaphambili nezincane nemilenze yangemuva emifushane, ukuze ibe nokulingana okufanayo. Ingenye yezinhlobo ezinkulu kakhulu zezilwane ezincelisayo zase-Australia. Isisindo somzimba besilisa nabesifazane sehlukile, abesilisa bakhulu kusuka ku-11.5-13.8 kilograms. Abesifazane banesisindo esingu-8-10.6 kg. Umsila ungama-73.0-80.0 cm ubude (kwabesifazane) kanye (82.0-84.0) cm kwabesilisa. Ubude bomzimba 69.0-70.5 cm kwabesifazane no-72.0-75.0 cm kwabesilisa.
Izinwele zimnyama nsundu. Intamo nesisu kulula. Izitho zimnyama, isiphongo simpunga. Kukhona umbala obomvana ebusweni, emahlombe, entanyeni nasemhlane wekhanda. Kunebala elimnyama ezansi komsila, uphawu olumhlophe lubonakala ohlangothini.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwe-kangaroo yesihlahla seBennett.
Ukuziphatha kokuzala kanye nezinqubo zokuzalela kuma-kangaroo we-arboreal arnoreal akuqondakali kahle. Ukukhwelana kufanele kube nesithembu, ezindaweni zabesifazane abaningana kuvela owesilisa oyedwa.
Izinsikazi zizala izinyane elilodwa ngonyaka, elisesikhwameni sikamama izinyanga eziyi-9. Bese eyondla naye iminyaka emibili. Abesifazane bangathola ikhefu ekuzaleni, okungahle kuhlotshaniswe nesikhathi sokondla inzalo ngobisi, okujwayelekile kwamanye ama-marsupials. Ukuzalanisa ama-kangaroo asehlathini elinemvula laseBennett anezinhlobo ezincane zonyaka, mhlawumbe kwenzeka nganoma yisiphi isikhathi.
Ngokuvamile amathole ahlala nezinsikazi aze abe nesisindo somzimba esanele (5 kg). Abavuthiwe bahlala emndenini kuphela ekuqaleni kwenkathi yokuzalanisa, yize abanye babo bevikela ama-kangaroo asemancane asele ngaphandle kokuvikelwa ngemuva kokushona kukanina.
Ekuthunjweni, ama-kangaroo aseBennett aphila futhi azala. Isikhathi sokuphila ekuthunjweni singaphezu kweminyaka engama-20, isikhathi eside kunasendle. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi abesifazane bazala izingane ezingeqi ku-6 empilweni yabo yonke.
Ukuziphatha kukaBennett kwesihlahla se-kangaroo.
Ama-kangaroo esihlahla sikaBennett ayizilwane eziqaphe kakhulu zasebusuku kanye nefolishi kusihlwa. Yize baphinde bazivumelanisa nempilo ezihlahleni, ehlathini bangama-kangaroo ahamba kalula futhi akwazi ukuhamba, akwazi ukweqa amamitha ayi-9 aye egatsheni lesihlahla esiseduze. Lapho zigxuma, zisebenzisa umsila wazo njengesisindo esiphikisayo lapho zishwibeka emagatsheni. Lapho iwa esihlahleni esinobude obungamamitha ayishumi nesishiyagalombili, ama-kangaroo esihlahla sikaBennett ahlala ngokuphepha ngaphandle kokulimala.
Njengoba zehle phansi kwesiqu somuthi emhlabathini, zihamba ngokuzethemba ngokugxuma, zitshekisa imizimba yazo phambili futhi ziphakamisela umsila wazo phezulu.
Lokhu kungenye yezinhlobo ezimbalwa, ezichazwe ngokucacile, zezindawo zemarsupials. Abesilisa abadala bavikela indawo engafika kumahektha angama-25, izindawo zabo zigcwele izindawo zokuhlala zabesifazane abaningana, nabo, abaqapha ngokuqinile imingcele yensimu ehlala abantu. Imizimba yabesilisa abadala inesibazi ngenxa yezimpi eziningi ezishubile, eziseduze, abanye abantu baze balahlekelwe izindlebe zabo ezimpini. Yize abesilisa abadala abadala bodwa behamba ngokukhululeka bezungeza indawo yabesifazane futhi badle izithelo zezihlahla ezikwelinye izwe. Izindawo zabesifazane azihambelani. Izindawo zokuphumula zenziwa phakathi kwezinhlobo zezihlahla ezithandwa yizihlahla, lapho ama-kangaroo esihlahla ethola khona ukudla ebusuku. Emini, ama-kangaroo esihlahla sikaBennett ahlala anganyakazi ngaphansi kombhede wezihlahla, ecashe phakathi kwamagatsha. Bakhuphuka emagatsheni aphezulu kakhulu, bavezwe yimisebe yelanga, bahlala bengabonakali ngokuphelele lapho bebuka izilwane ngezansi.
Ukudla kwe-kangaroo yesihlahla sikaBennett.
Ama-kangaroo ka-Bennett arboreal ikakhulukazi ayizinhlobo ezidla kakhulu. Zikhetha ukondla amaqabunga e-ganophyllum, i-shefflera, i-pyzonia ne-platycerium fern. Badla izithelo ezitholakalayo, zombili emagatsheni futhi baziqoqe ebusweni bomhlaba. Bavikela ngolaka indawo yabo yezimvu, abavakashela njalo.
Isimo sokongiwa kwesihlahla samaBennett kangaroo.
Ama-kangaroo esihlahla sikaBennett ayizinhlobo ezingavamile kakhulu. Izinombolo zabo zincane kakhulu endaweni elinganiselwe. Lezi zilwane ziqaphele ngokweqile futhi zihlala zingabonakali, zicashe emiqhele yezihlahla, ngakho-ke i-biology yazo ayifundiswanga kangako. Indawo ekude kakhulu ihlanganisa indawo yezindawo ezishisayo ezinomswakama, okuyiNdawo Yamagugu Omhlaba ye-UNESCO, ngakho-ke lezi zindawo azithintwa yimisebenzi yabantu.
Cishe wonke ama-kangaroo esihlahla seBennett ahlala ezindaweni ezivikelekile.
Kodwa-ke, kunezinsongo ezingaba yingozi, yize ukuzingela lolu hlobo lwezilwane kuncane kakhulu, futhi akusona isizathu esiyinhloko sokwehla kwenani lama-kangaroo angavamile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ama-kangaroo aseBennett asezingeni eliphakeme andise indawo yokuhlala esetshenziswa ebangeni, ngenxa yokuthi abomdabu banamuhla abazilandeli izilwane. Ngakho-ke, ama-kangaroo ase-arboreal aqhamuka ezinkangala ahlela ezindaweni ezihlala amahlathi ngezansi. Ukusinda kwalezi zinhlobo kwenziwa kube nzima ngokugawulwa kwamahlathi. Leli thonya aliqondile, kepha liholela ekubhujisweni kokhula olunokhula nokulahleka kwemithombo yokudla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-kangaroo aseBennett ase-arboreal awavikelwe kangako ezilwaneni eziyizisulu ezisehlathini elivulekile.
Izindawo ezingamahlathi ziwele imigwaqo nezindlela, imizila yezokuthutha inomthelela ongemuhle enanini labantu. Ama-kangaroo esihlahla sikaBennett awasebenzisi imihubhe “ephephile” eklanyelwe ukunyakazisa izilwane ukugwema ukushayisana nezimoto, njengoba imizila yazo ezinyakazayo itholakala ngaphandle kwalezi zindawo eziphephile. Izindawo ezisehlathini eliphansi zibhekene nokuwohloka okukhulu kwemvelo ngenxa yentuthuko yezolimo. Abantu abahlukanisiwe bama-kangaroo ase-arboreal babhujiswa yizilwane ezidlayo: izinja ze-dingo zasendle, ama-amethyst pythons nezinja ezifuywayo.
Ama-kangaroo ka-Bennett ase-arboreal asohlwini olubomvu lwe-IUCN esigabeni “Esengozini”. Lolu hlobo lubhalwe ohlwini lwe-CITES, iSithasiselo II. Izinyathelo ezinconyiwe zokongiwa kwalezi zinhlobo zifaka phakathi: ukuqapha ukusatshalaliswa nezinombolo zabantu, nokuvikela izindawo zokuhlala.
