Ibhayoloji eyodwa yeeSeahorses
amahashe olwandle Bayinxalenye yosapho iSyngnathidae, ekwaquka i-pipefish kunye nedragonfish. Kukho malunga neentlobo ezingama-50 zamahashe olwandle emhlabeni, nganye ineempawu zayo ezizodwa kunye nezinto ezinqabileyo. Kodwa bonke babelana ngokuqinisekileyo iimpawu zebhayoloji eziphawulekayo.
Umzimba wehashe lolwandle uyamangalisa ngendlela ekhethekileyo yokuziqhelanisa. Intloko yayo ikekele kwi-engile ekunene emzimbeni wayo, nto leyo eyivumela ukuba ikhangele kwaye ibambe ixhoba layo ngokunempumelelo ngakumbi. Ngokungafaniyo neentlanzi ezininzi, ama-seahorses awanazo izikali, kodwa kunesikhumba esincinci esolulwe phezu koluhlu lwamacwecwe amathambo.
IiNdawo zokuHlala zeSeahorse
Iiseahorses zizidalwa zaselwandle ezikhetha amanzi ashushu ashushu kunye ne-subtropics. Nangona kunjalo, abanye bahlala kumanzi abandayo ajikeleze iNew Zealand kunye neUnited Kingdom. Bakhetha ukuhlala kwiindawo ezinezityalo ezininzi zaselwandle, apho i-algae kunye neekorale zibonelela khona ihaven ekhuselekile ngokuchasene namarhamncwa kunye nendawo apho banokucutha amaxhoba abo.
Nangona amanye ama-seahorses ahlala kulwandle oluphezulu, uninzi lukhetha iindawo eziselunxwemeni, apho zinokufumana ukutya okuninzi kunye nendawo yokufihla i-mangroves, amachweba kunye ne-coral reefs. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo ekukhetheni indawo yokuhlala bubukho bezityalo ezaneleyo ezigqumayo.
Ukutya iiSeahorses
amahashe olwandle Ziyi-carnivores kwaye ukutya kwazo okuphambili kubandakanya i-crustaceans encinci njengeplankton kunye ne-shrimp yamanzi etyuwa. Ngokungafaniyo neentlanzi ezininzi, i-seahorses ayinamazinyo okanye isisu. Endaweni yoko, ukutya kudlula ngokukhawuleza kwinkqubo yabo, kufuna ukuba batye rhoqo ukuze bahlale bephila.
Iiseahorses zinombono obalaseleyo kwaye zizingeli abaziingcali, besebenzisa ubuchule babo bokuzingela obubizwa ngokuba "kukunyathela" ukubamba amaxhoba abo. Indlela yayo yokufunxa ikhawuleza kangangokuba kunzima nokuyibona ngeliso lenyama.
Izithethe ezisondeleleneyo nezizohlukileyo zeSeahorses
Izithethe zokukhwelana ze iilwandle Ziphawuleka ngokuba yenye yeentlobo ezimbalwa apho iyindoda ethwala ukukhulelwa. Imazi ifaka amaqanda ayo kwisingxobo senkunzi yenkunzi, apho adityaniswa khona. Inkunzi ke ithwala amaqanda de aqandusele, nto leyo enokuthatha iiveki ezimbini ukuya kwezine ngokuxhomekeke kudidi.
Baziwa nangokubumba izibini ezitshatileyo kubomi bokwenyani. Ama-Seahorses anezithethe ezimnandi kakhulu zokukhwelana, kubandakanywa "umdaniso wasekuseni," apho isibini sidibanisa imisila kwaye sitshintshe imibala.
Izinto ezinomdla malunga neeSeahorses
I-Seahorses zizidalwa ezinomdla kunye nenani leempawu ezizodwa kunye neenyaniso ezinomdla. Ngokomzekelo, bayakwazi ukutshintsha umbala ukuze uhambelane nendawo ezikuyo, ubuchule okwaziwa ngokuba yi-camouflage.
Ukongeza, bangabaqubhi abagqwesileyo kwaye banokuhamba ngokukhawuleza nangokufanelekileyo emanzini besebenzisa i-dorsal fin yabo encinci. Kodwa mhlawumbi olona phawu lubangel’ umdla kukukwazi kwayo ukujika intloko yayo ikwikona elungileyo, nto leyo engenakuyenza enye intlanzi. Ngokwembono yengcali yendalo, iilwandle Zinomdla ngokwenene kwaye zibonisa iyantlukwano emangalisayo kunye nokuguquguquka kobomi baselwandle.
