Inyoka yaseKirtland (Clonophis kirtlandii) ingeka-oda we-scaly.
Ukusabalala kwenyoka yaseKirtland.
Inyoka yaseKirtland idabuka eNyakatho Melika, itholakala ezindaweni eziningi eziseNingizimu-mpumalanga yeMichigan, e-Ohio, e-Indiana, e-Illinois, naseNyakatho-Central Kentucky. Ububanzi balezi zinhlobo bunqunyelwe engxenyeni eseNyakatho-Ephakathi yeMidwest yase-United States. Njengamanje, inyoka yaseKirtland isabalala nasentshonalanga yePennsylvania nasenyakatho-mpumalanga yeMissouri.
Indawo yokuhlala yenyoka yaseKirtland.
Inyoka yaseKirtland ithanda izindawo ezivulekile ezimanzi, izindawo ezinamachibi nezinsimu ezimanzi. Lezi zinhlobo zitholakala emaphethelweni amadolobha amakhulu, ngokwesibonelo, iPennsylvania, zihlala ezindaweni eziphila kabusha ePrairie Peninsula: amaxhaphozi asezindaweni eziphansi, amadlelo amanzi, izinkangala ezimanzi kanye nezixhaphozi ezivulekile nezinamaxhaphozi, amaxhaphozi enkathi ethile, kwesinye isikhathi izinyoka zaseKirtland zivela emithambekeni enamapulangwe nasezindaweni eziseduze kusuka kumadamu nemifudlana nge-current slow.
E-Illinois naseWest-Central Indiana, atholakala kakhulu ezindaweni ezifanele amadlelo kanye nasemanzini.
Izinyoka ezihlala eduze kwamadolobhakazi amakhulu zihlala emathafeni lapho imifula igeleza khona noma lapho kutholakala khona amaxhaphozi. Kakhulu, kulezi zindawo ezisemadolobheni lapho ukuqothulwa okusheshayo kohlobo olungavamile kwenzeka. Kodwa-ke, kusekhona abantu bendawo bezinyoka zaseKirtland ezimweni zasemadolobheni ezindaweni ezinodoti omningi ebusweni bomhlaba nasezindaweni ezivulekile ezinotshani. Kunzima ukuzibona ngenxa yendlela yokuphila eyimfihlo yezinyoka.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zenyoka yaseKirtland.
Inyoka yaseKirtland ingaba ngamamitha amabili ubude. Umzimba ongaphezulu umbozwe izikali ezicijile, ezinombala ompunga ngombala, enemigqa emibili yamachashaza amnyama amnyama nolayini wamabala amakhulu amnyama eceleni komugqa wenyoka. Umbala wesisu ubomvu ngokubomvu ngamabala amnyama amaningi enkundleni ngayinye. Ikhanda limnyama ngesilevu nomphimbo omhlophe.
Ukuzalisa inyoka yaseKirtland.
Izinyoka zaseKirtland zishada ngoMeyi, kanti owesifazane uzala ephila ngasekupheleni kwehlobo. Kujwayele ukuba nezinyoka ezi-4 kuye kwezingu-15 kwi-brood. Izinyoka ezisencane zikhula ngokushesha ngonyaka wokuqala futhi zifinyelela ekuvuthweni ngokocansi zineminyaka emibili. Ekuthunjweni, izinyoka zaseKirtland zisinda kuze kube yiminyaka eyi-8.4.
Ukuziphatha kwenyoka yaseKirtland.
Izinyoka zaseKirtland ziyimfihlo, zicashe ngaphansi kwemfucumfucu, kepha kaningi zingaphansi komhlaba. Njengesiphephelo, imvamisa basebenzisa imisele ye-crayfish, bazingcwaba njengendawo yokumboza neyangaphansi komhlaba; Imigodi inikezela umswakama, ukwehla okuncane kakhulu kwezinga lokushisa nezinsizakusebenza zokudla. Indlela yokuphila yokubhodla isiza izinyoka ukuba ziphile emlilweni lapho kushe utshani obomile emadlelweni. Izinyoka zaseKirtland nazo zizala, ngokusobala zingaphansi komhlaba, mhlawumbe emigodini ye-crayfish noma eduze kwamaxhaphozi, ahlala kuze kube sekupheleni konyaka. Izinyoka zaseKirtland zincane ngosayizi, ngakho-ke, lapho zihlangana nezilwane ezidla ezinye, zithatha isimo sokuzivikela futhi zithambise imizimba yazo, zizama ukwethusa isitha ngevolumu eyengeziwe.
Ukondla inyoka yaseKirtland.
Ukudla okuncanyelwayo kwenyoka yaseKirtland kuqukethe ikakhulukazi imisundu kanye nama-slugs.
Inombolo yenyoka yaseKirtland.
Inyoka yaseKirtland kunzima ukuyibona endaweni yayo yokuhlala nokwenza isilinganiso esifanele senani labantu.
Ukushoda kwamathuba okuthola isilwane esihuquzelayo esingandile endaweni yomlando akusho ukuthi abantu babhujiswa ngokuphelele.
Ukungaqiniseki kwemiphumela yocwaningo lwento nokuzivumelanisa nezimo kwalezi zinhlobo ukuze ziphile emadolobheni nasemaphandleni kwenza kube nzima ukuthola isimo sangempela sabantu, ngaphandle kwalapho kwenzeka ukubhujiswa kwezindawo zokuhlala noma okunye ukuphazamiseka endaweni. Isibalo sabantu abadala asaziwa, kepha kungahle kube nezinyoka okungenani eziyizinkulungwane ezimbalwa. Kukhona isiminyaminya impela ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene. Inyoka yaseKirtland yake yaziwa ezindaweni ezingaphezu kwekhulu kulo lonke elaseMelika. Abantu abaningi basemadolobheni baye banyamalala eminyakeni yamuva. Izinhlobo zingathathwa njengezingajwayelekile futhi zisengozini kulo lonke uhla lwazo lomlando, yize zisatshalaliswa kakhulu ezindaweni ezithile.
Izinsongo zokuba khona kwenyoka yaseKirtland.
Inyoka yaseKirtland ihlangabezana nezinsongo ezivela emisebenzini yabantu, ikakhulukazi ukwakhiwa kwezindlu kanye nezinguquko endaweni ezihlala kuyo kunomthelela omubi enanini lezinyoka. Iningi lezindawo zokuhlala zangaphambili zezinhlobo ezingandile zilahlekile futhi kuhlala izitshalo zezolimo. Izindawo zokuhlala ezinamakhambi enza izinguquko emaphethini wokusetshenziswa komhlaba.
Ukuguqulwa kwe-steppe kuya emaphandleni kuyingozi kakhulu ekusakazekeni kwenyoka yaseKirtland.
Abantu abaningi abaphindayo bahlala ezindaweni ezincane ezindaweni ezisemadolobheni noma ezisemadolobheni, lapho besengozini enkulu ekuqothulweni ngentuthuko. Izinyoka ezihlala eduze nemizana zingazala isikhathi esithile, kepha ekugcineni ukwehla kwamanani kuyabonakala ngokuzayo. Ukubanjwa kwe-Crayfish kunomthelela omubi ebukhoneni bezinyoka, ngenxa yalokho izinyoka zaseKirtland zithola into ekukhathazayo. Ezinye izinsongo ezingaba khona kulezi zinhlobo zezifo, ukudliwa kwangaphambili, ukuncintisana, ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane, ukufa kwezimoto, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu isikhathi eside, kanye nokubanjwa. Ikakhulukazi izinyoka eziningi ezingavamile zibanjelwa ukuhweba njengezilwane ezifuywayo ezindaweni ezisemadolobheni, lapho zicasha khona ngezinqwaba zokwakhiwa kanye nodoti wasendlini.
Isimo sokulondolozwa kwenyoka yaseKirtland.
Inyoka yaseKirtland ibhekwa njengezinhlobo ezingavamile kulo lonke uhla lwayo. EMichigan, kuthiwa "yizinhlobo ezisengozini" futhi e-Indiana "zisongelwa". Izinyoka zaseKirtland ezihlala eduze kwamadolobha amakhulu zibhekene nemboni ethuthukile kanye nokungcola. Isimo esiseduze nokusongelwa sivele kulezo zindawo lapho indawo yokwabiwa ingeqi kakhulu amakhilomitha-skwele angama-2000, ukwabiwa kwabantu kungafani kakhulu, futhi nekhwalithi yendawo yokuhlala iya ngokuya yehla. Abanye abantu benyoka yaseKirtland bahlala ezindaweni ezivikelekile ngakho-ke bathola usongo oluncane ebukhoneni babo. Izindlela zokongiwa kwemvelo zifaka phakathi okulandelayo:
- ukukhonjwa nokuvikelwa kwenombolo enkulu (mhlawumbe okungenani engama-20) izindawo ezifanele kulo lonke uhla;
- ukwethulwa kokuvinjelwa okuphelele kokuhweba ngalezi zinhlobo zezinyoka (umthetho wombuso);
- ukuqwashisa umphakathi ngezinkinga zokongiwa kohlobo olungajwayelekile.
Inyoka yaseKirtland ikuluhlu olubomvu lwe-IUCN.
