Umdli wenyoka waseCongo (Circaetus spectabilis) ungowe-oda le-Falconiformes. Izifundo zakamuva ezisuselwa ekuhlaziyweni kwe-DNA zivumele ukucwilisa ukuhlangana kwentela kwalezi zinhlobo futhi zikubeke kuhlobo lwe-Circaetus.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zomuntu odla izinyoka waseCongo
Ukhozi lwenyoka yaseCongo luyinyoni encane edla inyama. Umbala wezimpaphe zezinyoni ezindala unombala onsundu ngokukhanyayo. Umugqa omnyama omnyama uyagijima, uxubule kancane uqhotho ezihlathini. Omunye umugqa omnyama uyehla. Ingxenye engenhla yomzimba iningi layo limnyama nsundu, ngaphandle kwekepisi, elimnyama ngombala nokhololo, elibomvu ngokugqwala ngombala. Ngezansi kumhlophe qwa. Izimpiko zifushane, zinemiphetho ebuthuntu. Umsila mude ngokwedlulele. Izimpaphe ezisesihlokweni ziphakanyisiwe kancane, zifana ne-crest encane.
- Kuma-subspecies D. s. Izimpaphe ze-Spectabilis zihlukaniswa ngamamaki amnyama amaningi nemichilo.
- Kubantu be-subspecies D. batesi, amamaki amhlophe agxilwe emathangeni.
Ngokungafani nezinyoni eziningi ezidla inyoka, umuntu odla izinyoka waseCongo uneduna elikhudlwana kunentokazi. Izinyoni ezindala zinamehlo anezinhlayiya ezinsundu noma ezimpunga. Imilenze nama-wax kunombala ophuzi. Abadla izinyoka abasha baseCongo bambozwe izimpaphe ezinemonochromatic, ngaphandle kwemigqa emhlophe. Izingxenye ezingezansi zomzimba zimbozwe ngamabala amancane ayindilinga ombala omnyama nobomvu.
Ukhozi lwenyoka lwaseCongo lungadideka namanye amalungu omndeni amabili ahlala eCentral naseNtshonalanga Afrika: ukhozi iCassin (Spizaetus africanus) kanye ne-Urotriorchis macrourus. Izinhlobo zokuqala zihlukaniswa ngumthethosisekelo waso, ziminyene ngokwengeziwe ngekhanda elincane, umsila omfishane nombala wezimpaphe zamathanga ngendlela "yamabhulukwe". Uhlobo lwesibili lincane ngokusobala kunenyoka yenyoka yaseCongo, futhi inomsila omude kakhulu onethiphu emhlophe, ubude bomsila bucishe bube uhhafu wobude bomzimba wayo.
Izindawo ezidla izinyoka zaseCongo
Idla inyoka yaseCongo ihlala emahlathini aminyene emathafeni, lapho icasha khona ngemiqhele enesithunzi. Kodwa-ke, ihlala kalula ezindaweni ezivuselelwa kabusha, manje okuyizona eziningi ezakha iningi eNtshonalanga Afrika, ngenxa yokuqedwa kwehlathi okukhulu. Kuvela olwandle kuze kufike kumamitha ayi-900.
Ukusatshalaliswa kwabadla izinyoka baseCongo
Ukhozi lwenyoka lwaseCongo luyinyoni edla izwekazi lase-Afrika kanye nezindawo ezilinganayo ze-equatorial.
Indawo ehlala kuyo isukela eningizimu yeSierra Leone, iGuinea neLiberia, eningizimu iye eCôte d'Ivoire naseGhana. Ngemuva kwalokho uhla luyaphazamiseka emngceleni neTogo neBenin, bese kuqhubeka kusuka eNigeria kuye emaphethelweni eZaire kudlula eCameroon, eGabon, enyakatho eyedlulele ye-Angola, iCongo kanye neCentral African Republic. Ama-subspecies amabili amukelwa ngokusemthethweni:
- D. spectabilis, odabuka eSierra Leone kuya enyakatho yeCameroon.
- D. IBatesi ivela eningizimu yeCameroon, iye eningizimu iye eZaire, eCongo, eGabon nase-Angola.
Izici zokuziphatha kwalowo odla izinyoka waseCongo
Umdli wezinyoka waseCongo uyinyoni eyimfihlo. Uchitha isikhathi sakhe esiningi emahlathini anomthunzi, lapho amehlo akhe amakhulu nokubheka okuqeqeshiwe bekwazi ukubona ukunyakaza okuncane yize ukukhanya okuncane. Isidlakudla esinezimpaphe sihlala singabonakali, futhi sitholakala ehlathini ngezintambo ezinkulu. Isililo saso siyefana nesidudla sepikoko noma sekati, esizwakala kude kakhulu. Lesi sililo esikhulu ngokungangabazeki sehlukanisa umuntu odla izinyoka waseCongo kwezinye izinhlobo zezinyoka.
Ukhozi lwenyoka yaseCongo lundizela ezindaweni eziphakeme ngaphezu kophahla lwamahlathi noma lapho kucwengeka khona, kepha ngokuyisisekelo, le nyoni igcina ungqimba olumaphakathi lohlaza onqenqemeni lwehlathi noma eceleni komgwaqo. Kulezi zindawo, ukhozi lwenyoka luyazingela. Lapho ethola inyamazane, uyashesha, kuyilapho amaqabunga noma amagagasi omhlabathi endiza nhlangothi zonke, lapho isisulu sicashe khona. Mhlawumbe umhlaseli ushaya ngoqhwaku lwawo noma ngamagalelo amaningana ngozipho obukhali. Ukhozi lwenyoka lwaseCongo luze luzingele izinyoka ezintanta emanzini, zibheke ngokucophelela ezihlahleni ezikhula ogwini.
Ngokumangazayo, inyoka yenyoka yaseCongo inokufana okuncane nezinye izinyoka.
Ngokuphambene nalokho, ngokubukeka nokuziphatha, kufana nokhozi lweCassin (Spizaetus africanus). Lokhu kuziphatha kubizwa ngokulingisa futhi kunezinzuzo okungenani ezi-3. Inyoka yenyoka yaseCongo iyakwazi ukudukisa ngaleyo ndlela izilwane ezihuquzelayo, eziziphutha njengezinyoni ezizingela ukhozi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, elingisa indlela yokuziphatha kwezinkozi, yena uqobo uyakugwema ukuhlasela kwezinyoni ezinkulu ezidla inyama. Futhi kusiza ukusinda kubamele abancane be-oda passerines, eliseduze komuntu odla izinyoka elizizwa livikelekile kwezinye izidalwa.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha komdli wezinyoka waseCongo
Kunolwazi oluncane kakhulu mayelana nokuzala kokhozi lwenyoka laseCongo. Isikhathi sokuzalela singo-Okthoba futhi sithatha ngoDisemba eGabon. EDemocratic Republic of the Congo (eyayiyiZaire phambilini), izinyoni zizala kusukela ngoJuni kuya kuNovemba.
Ukudla kwabadla izinyoka baseCongo
Ukhozi lwenyoka lwaseCongo luzondla kakhulu ngezinyoka.
Lesi sici sokukhethekile kokudla siboniswa egameni lohlobo lwesilwane esinomphiko. Ubuye futhi azingele izilwane ezihuquzelayo - izibankwa kanye nonwabu. Ibamba izilwane ezincelisayo ezincane, kepha hhayi njalo njengezinyoka. Iningi lezisulu lilinde ukuqamekela.
Izizathu zokwehla kwesibalo sabadla izinyoka baseCongo
Usongo olukhulu, olubaluleke kakhulu endaweni yokuhlala yabantu abadla izinyoka eCongo, ukuqothulwa kwamahlathi okunamandla, okwenziwa kuyo yonke indawo yokuhlala yalezi zinhlobo. Ikakhulukazi edala isimo sezinhlobo eziseNtshonalanga Afrika. Ngokusobala isesimweni sokwehla, okunzima kakhulu ukukuhlola, unikezwe izici ezithile zendawo yazo. Uma ukwehla kwendawo yehlathi kungapheli, khona-ke umuntu angakwesaba ngekusasa lomuntu odla izinyoka waseCongo.
Isimo sokongiwa komuntu odla izinyoka waseCongo
Ukhozi lwezinyoka lwaseCongo lutholakala ezindaweni ezivikelekile eZaire, yize kungekho zinyathelo ezithile zokonga ezenziwayo. Ngemuva kokulinganisa, inani lezinyoni ezidla inyama lingaba ngabantu abayi-10 000. Lezi zinhlobo zihlukaniswa "njengezinto ezingakhathazeki kakhulu" ngenxa yokwehla kwesibalo sabantu.
