Inzwane kaFowler (Anaxyrus fowleri) ingeyomndeni wakwaBufonidae, umyalo wezilwane eziphila ngaphandle komsila, eziklasini.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zesikhumba sikaFowler.
Inziki kaFowler ivame ukuba nsundu, mpunga, noma luhlaza okomnqumo ngombala enamabala amnyama ngemuva, echazwe ngombala omnyama ngomugqa onombala okhanyayo. Indawo ngayinye emnyama inezinsumpa ezintathu noma ngaphezulu. Isisu simhlophe futhi cishe asinamabala. Eyesilisa inombala omnyama, kuyilapho insikazi ihlale ilula. Ubukhulu bomzimba buphakathi kuka-5, ubukhulu obungamasentimitha ayi-9.5. Isigaxa sikaFowler sinomhlathi ongenazinyo nokwakheka okwandisiwe ngemuva kwamehlo. Tadpoles mancane, anomsila omude, lapho kubonakala khona amaphiko aphezulu nangaphansi. Izibungu ziba ngosayizi ukusuka kumasentimitha ayi-1 kuye ku-1.4.
Isigaxa sikaFowler sasakazeka.
Ifodo likaFowler lihlala ezindaweni ezisogwini lwe-Atlantic. Ububanzi buhlanganisa i-Iowa, New Hampshire eTexas, Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, Ohio, nase West Virginia. Isatshalaliswa eduze neHudson, iDelaware, iSusquehanna neminye imifula engxenyeni eseningizimu ye-Ontario, osebeni lweLake Erie. IFowler Toad yiBufonidae ejwayelekile eNyakatho Carolina.
Indawo yakwaFowler's toad.
Izinsipho zikaFowler zitholakala emathafeni asogwini angaphakathi nezwe nasezintabeni eziphansi ezintabeni. Bancamela ukuhlala emahlathini, emathafeni anesihlabathi, ezimfundeni nasemabhishi. Ezikhathini ezishisayo, ezomile nasebusika zingcwatshwa emhlabathini ngakho-ke zibekezelela isikhathi esingesihle.
Ukuzalisa isikhukhukazi seFowler.
Izinzwane zikaFowler zizalanisa ngenkathi efudumele, imvamisa kusuka ngoMeyi kuya kuJuni. Ama-Amphibian abekela amaqanda emanzini angajulile, ngoba lokhu bakhetha imizimba yamanzi evulekile kakhulu: amachibi, emaphethelweni amachibi, amaxhaphozi, amahlathi omanzi. Eziduna zifudukela ezindaweni ezizalela kuzo, lapho ziheha khona abesifazane ngokumema amasiginali ezwi akhishwa njalo ngezikhathi ezithile afinyelela kumasekhondi angamashumi amathathu. Amanye amaduna avamise ukusabela ocingweni, futhi azame ukukhwelana. Owesilisa wokuqala uyalibona iphutha lakhe ngokushesha, ngoba enye indoda iqala ukukhala kakhulu. Lapho ukukhwelana nowesifazane, owesilisa umbamba ngezitho zakhe ngemuva. Ingavundisa kuze kufike emaqanda ayi-7000-10000. Umanyolo ungaphandle, amaqanda akhula kusukela ezinsukwini ezimbili kuya kweziyisikhombisa, kuya ngezinga lokushisa kwamanzi. Onoshobishobi bahlangabezana nesimo esiguqukayo futhi baguquke babe yizicucu ezincane phakathi kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu kuya kwamashumi amane. Izinduna ezincane zikaFowler ziyakwazi ukuzala ngonyaka olandelayo. Abantu abakhula kancane bangaveza inzalo ngemuva kweminyaka emithathu.
Ukuziphatha kukaFowler's toad.
Amasele kaFowler asebenza ebusuku, kepha kwesinye isikhathi azingela emini. Ngesikhathi esishisayo noma esibanda kakhulu, zingcwatshwa emhlabathini. Amasele kaFowler asabela ezilwaneni ezizingelayo futhi azivikele ngezindlela ezifinyelelekayo.
Bakhipha izinto eziyingozi ezivela ezakhiweni ezinkulu ezinamaqhubu ngemuva.
Imfihlo ebabayo icasula umlomo wesilwane esidlayo, futhi ikhafula isilwane esibanjiwe, into evikelayo ikakhulukazi enobuthi ezilwaneni ezincelisayo ezincane. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinzwane zikaFowler, uma zingakwazi ukubaleka, zilala ngomhlane zizenze ngathi zifile. Basebenzisa nombala wabo ukuze bangaveli enhlabathini ensundu nasezimileni ezinsundu, ngakho-ke banombala wesikhumba ofana nombala womhlaba. Amasele kaFowler, njengamanye ama-amphibian, amunca amanzi ngesikhumba sawo esinezimbotshana; aziphuzi amanzi njengezilwane ezincelisayo, izinyoni nezilwane ezihuquzelayo. Izinsipho zikaFowler zinesikhumba esijiyile nesomile kunamanye ama-amphibian amaningi, ngakho-ke bachitha impilo yabo yonke yabantu abadala emhlabeni. Kepha noma ngabe kunesimo sezulu esomile nesishisayo, inani lomzimba wezinyosi kufanele lihlale lipholile futhi linomswakama, ngakho-ke bafuna izindawo ezingaphansi komhlaba, ezivalekile futhi balinde izinga lokushisa eliphakeme lendawo abahlala kuyo. Amasele kaFowler achitha izinyanga ezibandayo ngaphansi komhlaba. Baphefumula ikakhulu ngamaphaphu, kepha omunye umoya-mpilo utholakala ngesikhumba.
Ukudla kukaFowler.
Izinhlayiya zikaFowler zondla ngama-invertebrate amancane asemhlabeni, akuvamile ukuthi zidle izikelemu zomhlaba. Onoshobishobi bagxila kokunye ukudla futhi basebenzise umlomo wabo ngesakhiwo esifana nezinyo ukuklwebha ulwelwe emadwaleni nasezitshalweni. Ziphinde zondle ngamagciwane kanye nemfucumfucu engokwemvelo ekhona emanzini.
Amathanga adla kakhulu, futhi adla izinto ezincane ezanele ukuthi angazibamba azigwinye.
Isisulu sigwinywa siphelele, amasele awakwazi ukuhlafuna ukudla, aluma izingcezu. Babamba inyamazane encane ngokunyakaza okusheshayo kolimi lwabo olunamathelayo. Kwesinye isikhathi amasele angasebenzisa izingalo zawo ezingaphambili ukusiza ukusunduza inyamazane enkulu emphinjeni. Cishe bonke abalimi nabalimi bayazi ukuthi amasele kaFowler anedumela lokuba yizilwane eziphila nasemanzini, aqothula izinambuzane ezahlukahlukene futhi azihlalisa emagcekeni, ezingadini zezithelo, nasezivandeni zemifino. Bangakwazi ukubuthana kumalambu akhanyayo ukuze badle izinambuzane ezinqwabelana lapho. Abantu abanjalo bavame ukuthamba futhi bahlala egcekeni elilodwa isikhathi eside. Amasele abamba inyamazane ngokubukeka, ngokuhamba abambe cishe noma yini encane ehambayo. Bazungezwe izinambuzane ezintsha ezifile, ngoba ziqondiswa kuphela yizinambuzane ezindizayo nezikhasayo.
Indima ye-ecosystem yeFowler toad.
Izinzwane zikaFowler zilawula izinambuzane. Ngaphezu kwalokho, zisebenza njengokudla kwezinye izilwane ezidlayo, zidliwa yizilwane eziningi, ikakhulukazi izinyoka, izisu zazo ezinganciphisa ubuthi. Izimfudu, ama-raccoon, ama-skunks, amagwababa nezinye izidlo zingakhukhula izigaxa futhi zidle kuphela isibindi esinomsoco nezitho zangaphakathi, kushiye isidumbu nesikhumba esinobuthi kungenziwanga. Amaselezane amancane awakhiphi izinto ezinobuthi kakhulu, ngakho-ke adliwa yizilwane eziningi ezidla ezinye kunabantu abadala.
Isimo sokulondolozwa kweselesele le-Fowler.
Izinsongo ezinkulu ebukhoneni bezinhlawulo zikaFowler ukulahleka kwendawo nokuqhekeka.
Ukuthuthukiswa kwezolimo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane ekulawuleni izinambuzane kunomthelela omubi.
Uma kuqhathaniswa, ngisho nokubhujiswa kwenani elikhulu labantu ngabanye akuyona ingozi njengethonya lemisebenzi yabantu. Noma kunjalo, ubuhlalu bukaFowler buzivumelanisa nezimo ezishintshile futhi buphila kwezinye izindawo ezisemadolobheni nasezindaweni zasemadolobheni, lapho ukuzalanisa nokukhiqiza ukudla kuhlala kutholakala. Izinga eliphakeme lokuzivumelanisa nezimo lavumela izinzipho zikaFowler ukuthi zihlale ngaphakathi kobubanzi bazo, naphezu kokuncipha okukhulu phakathi kwamanye ama-amphibians. Kodwa-ke, inani elikhulu lamasele libulawa ngamasondo ezimoto asetshenziswa kakhulu emabhishi nasezindaweni zezivakashi. izindawo ezingama-dune ziyingozi kulezi zinhlobo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusetshenziswa kwamakhemikhali kwezolimo kunomthelela ekwehleni kwesibalo sezilwane eziphila ezweni nasemanzini kwezinye izindawo. Lezi zinhlobo zisengozini e-Ontario. IFowler Toad ibalwe njengoKukhathazeka Okuncane yi-IUCN.
