Umbuso wezinambuzane: inhlanzi enkulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni

Ama-naturalist ayazi kahle ukuthi zingaki izilwane ezingavamile kakhulu nezitshalo emhlabeni wethu. Eziningi zezinhlobo eziningi "ezimbi" zitholakala phakathi kwezinambuzane. Lezi zihlanganisa intethe enkulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni, i-uet.

Sasivame ukucabanga ukuthi phakathi kwezinambuzane yizona zinhlobo ezinkulu kunazo zonke ezitholakala kuphela phakathi kwezicabucabu, kodwa zinganikezwa izinkinga ngezinkinga.

Ngokwesayizi wabo, zidlula izinhlobo eziningi zezinkumbi, okusobala kunzima ukuzifaka ezinhlotsheni ezincane. Ngeshwa, insimu yezwe lakithi ayihlali ngokuhle.

Ngakho-ke, inhlanzi enkulu kunazo zonke ingakhula ibe ngu-10 cm ubude, futhi kanye nama-paws nomsila, "ngokubanzi" ingaba "nguwe" ngo-15-20 cm. Ngokuqondene nesisindo, i-uatas enkulu ivame ukugcwala ku-70 g. Kakhulu kakhulu, udoli ovamile kuphela ulinganisa ngaphezu kuka-40 g.

Ngendlela, igama labo elivamile lingashintshwa ngesiRashiya ngokuthi "insipho ekhwabanisayo", futhi le nhlanzi enkulu kunazo zonke ihlala ogwini lwaseNew Zealand.

Abomdabu kusukela ezikhathini zakudala babesaba futhi bahlonishwa nabo, ngoba ngisho nezindinganiso zendawo ezinjalo ubukhulu kunzima ukufakazela ezijwayelekile. E-New Zealand, kunezinhlobo ezingaba ngu-11, eziningi zabameleli bazo zikhula ngisho nangaphezu kuka-15 cm.

Akumangalisi ukuthi bajabulela ukuthandwa okunjalo phakathi kwabathandi bezinambuzane abagcina amakhaya abo ngamalungelo ezifuywayo.

Kuyafaneleka isikhathi esisodwa ukubona indlela inkulu kangaka, ehlezi ngomunwe womuntu, enesifiso sokugaya isanqante esikhulu, ungasheshe unqume ukuthi ubaphatha kanjani. Omunye lo mbhoshongo omkhulu kakhulu uwela emphefumulweni, kanti omunye ubalekela ukukhamuluka.

Ngaphandle, cishe yonke into ikhumbuza ukuhlazeka kwesikhonyane esivamile, ngaphandle kwamaphiko. Kodwa kukhona umehluko owodwa obalulekile: izinambuzane zethu ezigodini azinawo ameva anempilo namakhulu, asetshenziswa njengesikhali esihle kakhulu sokuzivikela.

Ngendlela, kungani abameleli balo mndeni baba mkhulu kangaka? Iqiniso liwukuthi okhokho babo beza eNew Zealand kulezo zikhathi ezikude lapho kwakungakafiki i-archipelago e-Australia.

Khona-ke kwakuhlala kuphela izilwane ezincelisayo kuphela, kwakungekho izilwane ezidliwa yizilwane, kodwa ukudla ngokweqile kwakulele phansi. Akumangazi ukuthi inqubo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo eyenziwe ngezinambuzane ezinjalo ezinambuzane ezivamile.

Ngokuqondene nokwazi ukuthola izimo zokuphila, cishe akunjalo: inhlanzi enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni ingahlala ehlathini, e-marshland, ezintabeni noma ngisho nasepaki yedolobha. Eziningi ze-Uetas yizilwane ezidliwa yizilwane ezinjengezilwane ezithandayo ukuluma isilonda noma ngisho negundane, kepha cishe ingxenye yesithathu yalezi zilwane zidla ukudla okunomsoco.

Ngaphandle kwabo, izitshalo zaseNew Zealand zizodingeka zibe nzima, njengoba zidlala indima ebalulekile ekusakazeni imbewu ezitshalweni nezithelo abazidlayo.

Kuphela ngonyaka nengxenye izinkumbi zifinyelela ekuvuthweni kocansi, kanti le nsikazi ngemuva kokulala ibeka amaqanda angaba ngu-300, emva kwalokho ifa.

Ngeshwa, endle, izinkumbi ezinkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni zingase zinyamalale maduzane. Iqiniso liwukuthi baqothulwa ngamakati, izinja namagundane awile eziqhingini zaseMelika.
