Indawo yokuhlala yendalo ye-axolotl
I-axolotl ivela kumachibi amabini athile kwisiXeko saseMexico: iLake Xochimilco kunye neLake Chalco. Ngelishwa, ngenxa yokwanda kwedolophu kunye nongcoliseko, iLake Chalco ayisekho kwaye inani le-axolotl eXochimilco lehlile kakhulu. Ngokuqhelekileyo bahlala kumanzi azolileyo, amnyama, abandayo azele zizityalo, ngokuqhelekileyo iinyibiba zamanzi kunye neekati.
Ezi ndawo zasemanzini zibonelela ngodaka oluninzi kunye nomhlaba wamatye ukuze zinike indawo yokuphumla kunye nekhusi kwezi zilwanyana zinomdla. Kwanakwindawo yokuhlala encitshisiweyo, zisakwazi ukuziqhelanisa ngenxa yobuchule bazo obumangalisayo bokuvuselela amalungu omzimba kwaye ziphile phantsi kweemeko ezinokuthi ezinye iintlobo zezilwanyana zingazifumani.
Izoyikiso kwi-axolotl kwindawo yayo yokuhlala
Uthotho lwezoyikiso lubeke esichengeni ngokunzulu ukusinda kwe-axolotl kwindawo yayo yendalo. Enye yazo kukwehla kwamanzi amatsha ngenxa yokufudukela kwabantu ezidolophini kunye nongcoliseko, nto leyo eyandisa imichiza eyingozi kunye nenkunkuma emanzini.
Esinye isisongelo kukuqaliswa kweentlobo ezingaqhelekanga, ezifana ne-carp kunye ne-tilapia, ezikhuphisana ne-axolotls kwimithombo efanayo kwaye zidla ngokuphanga abantwana bazo. Ukongezelela, i-axolotl iphinda isongelwa ngokuzingela ngenxa yekhono layo elikhethekileyo kunye nelifunwayo lokuvuselela, eliye labangela ukuhla ngokukhawuleza kwabemi bayo.
Ukutya kunye nokondla
Ngokutsho kwe KwiYunivesithi yaseMichigan, i-axolotls zi-opportunistic carnivores ezondla kwiindidi ze-invertebrates kunye neentlanzi ezincinci. Ukutya kwabo kubandakanya:
- Iimpethu
- izinambuzane zasemanzini
- iicrustaceans ezincinci
- Iintlanzi ezincinci
- IiMollusks
Ekuthinjweni, ukutya kwabo kunokuxhaswa ngokutya okuphezulu kweentlanzi, iziqwenga zentliziyo yenkukhu kunye ne-shrimp.
Ukuzala kunye nemijikelo yobomi
I-axolotl ivelisa ngamaqanda, abekwe kumagqabi ezityalo zasemanzini. Emva kwexesha lokufukamela elimalunga neentsuku ezili-14 ukuya kwezingama-21, amaqanda ayaqanduselwa kwaye ii-axolotl eziselula ziqala ubomi bazo. Olu didi lwahlukile kuba isigaba somhlaba siyadlula, imeko eyaziwa ngokuba yi-neoteny.
I-Axolotl ekuthinjweni
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, i-axolotl iye yaba yintlobo ethandwa kakhulu kwihlabathi lezilwanyana. Kukho izinto ezininzi ekufuneka uziqwalasele ekuboneleleni ngemekobume efanelekileyo ye-axolotl yakho, kuquka:
- Gcina ubushushu bamanzi obufanelekileyo (phakathi kwe-14 ne-20 ngokukaCelsius)
- Ukubonelela ngendawo yokuhlala enekhusi elaneleyo kunye neendawo ezimnyama
- Gcina ukutya okunokulinganisela kunye nokufanelekileyo
Ngamafutshane, i-axolotl sisidalwa esimangalisayo nesingaqondakaliyo esinomdla wokuziqhelanisa nokutshintsha kwendawo yayo. Nangona kunjalo, ukusinda kweentlobo kwindawo yazo yendalo kusemngciphekweni kwaye kubalulekile ukuba sithathe inyathelo ukukhusela nokugcina ezi zilwanyana ziphilayo zingaqhelekanga.
