Ubunakho be-Anteater kunye noLungiso
Inyamakazi iqhelaniswe ngokugqibeleleyo ukuze ikwazi ukwenza ukutya kwayo okukhethekileyo kweembovane kunye neentubi. Phakathi kweempawu zayo ezibalaseleyo kunye nesakhono sinokuzifumana:
- Isivamvo esinamandla sokuvumba: Inyamazane inevamvo lokujoja ngamandla aphindwe kangangama-40 kunowabantu, nto leyo eyivumela ukuba ikwazi ukuzibona kakuhle iindlwane zeembovane neentubi.
- Ulwimi oluncangathi olude: Ulwimi lwayo lunokufikelela kwiisentimitha ezingama-60 ubude kwaye lugqunywe ngento encangathi eyivumela ukuba ibambe ixhoba layo ngokulula.
- Iinzipho ezomeleleyo zangaphambili: Inzipho zayo ziyivumela ukuba ivuleke lula iindlwane zexhoba layo kwaye izikhusele kumarhamncwa anokuthi ahlasele.
- amazinyo angekhoyo: Inyamazane ayinamazinyo kwaye ityumza ixhoba layo isebenzisa izihlunu zayo ezomeleleyo zesisu kunye nentsalela yesanti nomhlaba ekutyayo kunye nezinambuzane.
Ukongeza, i-anteater ineendlela ezithile zokuziphatha ezivumela ukuba zithintele ukudibanisa neekhemikhali kunye neetyhefu ezikhusela ngazo izinambuzane.
Ukutya kunye nokutyiswa kwenyamakazi
Idlozi sisilwanyana izinambuzane, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ukutya kwabo kuqulathe ubukhulu becala iimbovane neentubi. Noko ke, asizizo zonke iindidi zezinambuzane ezisebenza njengokutya. Inyamazane ithanda iimbovane ezinkulu kunye neentlobo zentubi kwaye iyaziphepha ezo zinokuba yingozi ngenxa yetyhefu kunye neeasidi zazo.
Iinyamakazi zidla ngokutya ngorhatya, xa ixhoba lisebenza kakhulu. Lo msebenzi ubavumela ukuba bafumane izinambuzane ezininzi kwindawo enye. Ukongezelela, ezi zilwanyana zineqhinga elibangela umdla kakhulu lokufumana ukutya kwazo, ekubeni zingaze ziyitshabalalise ngokupheleleyo indlwane. Ngale ndlela, banokubuyela ukondla ixesha elide emva kokuba ikoloni ivunyelwe ukuba ihlaziye kwaye ikhule.
Indawo yokuhlala kunye nosasazo lwejografi
I-anteater ihlala kwiintlobo ezininzi zezinto eziphilayo, ukusuka kumahlathi ashinyeneyo kunye namahlathi afumileyo ukuya kumathafa kunye nama-savannah. Zizilwanyana ezisemhlabeni, nangona ezinye iintlobo ze-tamandua ezincinci zikwazi ukukhwela emithini zikhangela ukutya.
Ukusasazwa ngokwejografi kwenyamakazi isuka kumazantsi eMexico ukuya kumantla eArgentina. Kulo lonke uluhlu lwayo lokusasazwa, ijongene nezoyikiso ezahlukeneyo ezinjengokugawulwa kwamahlathi, ilahleko yendawo yokuhlala, kunye nokuzingela.
Ukuziphatha kunye nobomi bentlalo
Inyamakazi sisilwanyana esihlala sodwa esidibana kuphela nabanye abantu bohlobo lwaso ngexesha lokuzala. Ezi zilwanyana zinemikhwa yokulala kakhulu, nangona i-anteater enkulu (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) ingabonakalisa ukuziphatha kwasebusuku ngokuxhomekeke ekufumanekeni kokutya kunye neemeko zokusingqongileyo.
Nangona inkangeleko yayo icotha kwaye ibhidekile, isilwanyana esiphaphazelayo sisilwanyana esikhawulezayo, ngakumbi xa sisongelwa. Nangona ingesiso isilwanyana esihlala kwindawo ethile, inokuba ndlongondlongo xa omnye umntu ehlasela indawo yaso.
Ukuzala kunye nomjikelo wobomi
Ixesha lokuzala kweenyamakazi liyahluka ngokuxhomekeke kwiintlobo kunye neemeko ezithile zendawo yokuhlala. Ngokubanzi, ezi zilwanyana zinokuzala unyaka wonke, kodwa inani lenzala eliveliswayo lidla ngokuba phezulu ngamaxesha onyaka okwanda kokufumaneka kwezinambuzane.
Ukumitha kwentuthwane kuthatha phakathi kweentsuku ezingama 120 kunye ne 190, kwaye ngokuqhelekileyo kuzala itakane elinye. Abancinci bazalwa bekhule kakuhle, benamehlo avulekileyo kwaye begqunywe ziinwele, kwaye bayakwazi ukukhwela emqolo kamama wabo msinyane emva kokuzalwa. Eli qhinga libavumela ukuba bahlale bekhuselekile ngoxa umama wabo ekhangela ukutya.
Ngokufutshane, i-anteater yi-a ingcali ekutyeni izinambuzane ngothotho lweendlela ezizodwa nezinomdla ezilungelelanisa ukondla kunye nokuphila. Ezi zilwanyana zidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekulawuleni inani leembovane neentubi kwiindawo ezihlala kuzo zendalo kwaye zisinika ukuqonda okubangel’ umdla ngokwahlukana nokuguquguquka kobomi kwisijikelezi-langa sethu.
