Ngokusobala zazingekho izidalwa ezihuquzelayo eziwubukhazikhazi noma ezibukisayo ezazingahlala zingaziwa kuze kube namuhla, kodwa zikhona!
Ngokusobala zazingekho izidalwa ezihuquzelayo eziwubukhazikhazi noma ezibukisayo ezazingahlala zingaziwa kuze kube namuhla, kodwa zikhona!
IMexico, njengoba kwaziwa, inenye yezitshalo nezilwane ezicebe kakhulu futhi ezihlukahlukene kakhulu emhlabeni, ingcebo ebangelwa kakhulu indawo yayo ezungeze ubukhulu bayo. Kodwa-ke, iqiniso lokuthi alikho izwe emhlabeni elihlala izinhlobo zezilwane ezinwabuzelayo eziningi njengaleli lethu alandile kakhulu. Bangaki abakhona ncamashi? Akekho owaziyo kuze kube manje. Lapho kuthintwa uchwepheshe kulo mkhakha, uzosho ukuthi cishe babalelwa ku-760, isibalo esiseduze nezinhlobo zezilwane ezihuquzelayo kuze kube manje sikhonjwe ngokwesayensi. Kepha impela inani labo likhulu, njengoba unyaka nonyaka kutholakala izinhlobo ezintsha futhi, ngokwemvelo, nezinye izinhlobo zezilwane.
Endabeni yezilwane ezihuquzelayo, iningi lazo zingama-saurians hhayi izinyoka ezibukisa kakhulu, cishe ezingabalulekile, ezifihlwe ezindaweni zokucasha, okuze kube namuhla zikwazile ukubalekela ukubona kwabantu. Lokhu kunjalo ngezilwane ezihlala ezifundeni eziningi zezinhlelo zezintaba zaseMexico ezingafinyeleleki kumfundi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, akulindelekile ukuthi kusekhona izidalwa ezihuquzelayo noma ezibukisayo ezingase zihlale zingaziwa kuze kube namuhla. Kepha kukhona! Isibonelo esihle kakhulu sinikezwe nguGunther Koehler, ingcweti yamakhemikhali yaseJalimane owathi ngo-1994 wathola eningizimu yeCampeche i-saurian engaziwa kuze kube manje, yohlobo lweCtenosaura, wabiza i-iguana emnyama.
UKoehler, uchwepheshe kuleli qembu lama-iguana, walibiza ngokuthi yiCtenosaura alfredschmidti ngokuhlonipha umngani wakhe nomgqugquzeli we-herpetology, u-Alfred Schmidt.
Njengamanje, iCtenosaura alfredschmidti yaziwa kuphela kusuka endaweni lapho itholakale khona okokuqala, okungukuthi, eduze komgwaqo omkhulu osuka e-Escárcega uye eChetumal. Indlela yabo yokuphila namasiko abo akwaziwa ncamashi. ICtenosaura alfredschmidti ihlala ezihlahleni futhi ayivamisile ukukhasa phansi. Endaweni edabuka kuyo yaziwa ngokuthi "ufezela" ngoba ihlukaniswe ngephutha njengobuthi.
I "scorpion" ilinganiselwa ku-33 cm, okusho ukuthi ayinkulu kunezinhlobo ezinkulu zohlobo lwayo, ezingaba ngaphezu kwemitha isiyonke. Kubo bonke "ufezela" ngokungangabazeki muhle kunabo bonke. Okuhlaba umxhwele umsila wayo omfishane ombozwe izikali ezicwebezelayo, ewusebenzisela ukubamba uqine lapho ucashe khona, kwenze kube nzima ukuphuma lapho. Umbala womzimba wayo futhi uyawuhlukanisa nawo wonke amanye ama-iguana, ngaphandle kwesihlobo esiseduze, umvikeli uCtenosaura iguana, ofana no "fezela" ohlala kuphela enhlonhlweni yaseYucatan futhi owaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi "chop" .
Ngokuvamile, “ufezela” nomvikeli uCtenosaura iguana bayefana kakhulu, yize kukhona umehluko phakathi kwabo ngokwendlela yabo yokuphila. Ngenkathi owokuqala ehlala ezihlahleni, i- "chop" ihlala emigodini emincane emadwaleni, eduze komhlaba.
"Ufezela" wesilisa unemibala egqamile. Inhloko yayo, umsila kanye nemilenze yangemuva kukhanya i-malachite eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, kanti umhlane wayo umnyama ngaphambili, futhi ubomvu onsundu noma ubomvu ngokubomvu ngemuva. Iyakwazi ukushintsha umbala wayo ngokushesha okufana nonwabu. Ishiya lapho icashe khona ekuseni, "ufezela" ubonakala ufiphele ngamathoni, kepha njengoba umzimba wayo ufudumala futhi usebenze, ukhombisa umbala omuhle, ocwebezelayo.
"Ufezela" wesifazane, onombala onsundu, awubukisi kangako kunowesilisa futhi omncane ngosayizi. Njengazo zonke izinhlobo zeCtenosaura, “ufezela” unezinzipho eziqinile, ezicijile ezikuvumela ukuba ikhuphuke kalula ezihlahleni ezisezingeni eliphansi kakhulu.
Imvamisa i- "scorpion" iyona kuphela ehlala ngaphakathi emgodini wayo. Owesilisa nowesifazane babekwazi ukulala ngasikhathi sinye esihlahleni esisodwa, yize babe semgodini ohlukile. Lolu hlobo luchitha ubusuku futhi iningi losuku emgodini walo, ububanzi balo bukhulu ngokwanele ukuba bungangena buphume ngaphandle kwenkinga. Kodwa-ke, ukukhula kwayo kulungisa ushintsho lwendawo ehlala kuyo kaningi. Lapho icashe khona ivamise ukushibilika iye phambili, ivumela umsila wayo ukuba ungene emgodini, okwenza kube nzima ngezitha ezingayihlasela.
Njengoba umoya ufudumala, "ufezela" ushibilika ubuyele emgodini wayo ukuze uthamele ilanga. Lapho umzimba wakho usufinyelele izinga lokushisa elifanele, kuthatha umsebenzi wokubheka ukudla kwansuku zonke. Yondla, njengalo lonke uhlobo lwayo, ezitshalweni, okungukuthi, emaqabungeni esihlahla lapho ihlala khona, futhi ngezikhathi ezithile futhi izinambuzane nezinye izinambuzane ezingenamgogodla. Ngokuphambene nalokho, lolu hlobo, esigabeni salo sobusha, ludinga ukudla okunothe ngamaprotheni ukuze lukhule, yingakho kulesi sigaba kudla kakhulu.
Mayelana nokukhiqizwa kabusha kwe "scorpion", inqubo yayo ayikaziwa. Isibonelo, i- "chop" ibekela kanye ngonyaka, imvamisa ngo-Ephreli, amaqanda amabili noma amathathu, futhi kuze kube nguJuni lapho ama-iguana amancane achamisela khona. Kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwe "scorpion" kufane nalokhu "kwe-chop" ngeqiniso elilula lokuthi bobabili bayizihlobo eziseduze kakhulu.
ICampeche "scorpion" ingeyomndeni omkhulu futhi ohlukahlukene wama-iguana (Iguanidae) futhi awuhlobene kakhulu nama-saurians ohlobo lweHeloderma, olubuye lwaziwe ezweni lalo njenge "scorpion". Zombili lezi zinhlobo, iHeloderma horridum neHeloderma suspectum, zakha kuphela ama-saurian anobuthi emndenini ofanayo (iHelodermatidae) futhi zihlala endaweni esogwini lwasePacific, esukela eningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-United States (Heloderma suspectum), kulo lonke elaseMexico, IGuatemala (Heloderma horridum). Kuvamile ukuthi bonke "ofezela" babe nezitha ezimbalwa zemvelo. ICtenosaura alfredschmidti ngokuqinisekile ayinabo ubuthi njengomzala wayo, kepha ingaluma kanzima ngokweqile, ngaphandle kobukhulu bayo obujwayelekile, futhi ibangele amanxeba ajulile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ihlala iqaphile futhi ayivamile ukuzulazula lapho icashe khona. Njengomuntu ohlala esihlahleni unakekela ngokukhethekile izinyoni ezidla inyama.
Umuntu ngokungangabazeki umele usongo olukhulu kulesi silwane esihuquzelayo esibukeka singaphambi komlando. Kuncane kakhulu okwaziwayo ngo "ufezela" okwamanje ongaphetha ngokuthi ubukhona bawo busongelwa. Yize yaziwa kuphela lapho idabuka khona, kungacatshangwa ukuthi ububanzi bayo eCampeche bubanzi. Kodwa-ke, izinsongo ezinkulu ekusindeni kwayo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukususwa kancane kancane kwamahlathi abanzi ahlala kuwo, futhi ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuqoqwa kwezinkuni ezingakhethi eziseduze nemizana, okubandakanya amahlathi amadala nagezelwe. izihlahla lapho zicashe khona.
Ukuze kuvikelwe ngokwanele i- "scorpion" kuyadingeka kuqala ukuthi ufunde indlela yayo yokuphila nokusatshalaliswa kwayo. Kubalulekile futhi ukwazisa abantu bendawo ngesimo sayo esingenabungozi nangokubaluleka kokuvikelwa kwayo njengenhlobo. Ngaphandle kwalokho, kungaba yihlazo uma lo mhlali oyingqayizivele futhi ongavamile waseMexico enyamalala unomphela, ungakabi nethuba lokuhlangana naye.
