Ukuthandwa kwe-megalodon kuye kwabangela abaninzi ukuba bazibuze ukuba le shark enkulu ye-prehistoric isenokuthi iqhube ubunzulu bolwandle lwethu namhlanje, kwaye nokuba inokufumaneka kunxweme lwaseSpain. Eli nqaku lihlalutya kwimbali enomdla ye-megalodon, iintsomi zayo kunye neenyani, kunye nezizathu ezinokuthi kutheni i-rumor yobukho bayo bangoku kumanzi aseSpain inokuvela.
I-megalodon: Isigebenga samandulo
I-megalodon, egama layo lezenzululwazi yi-*Carcharocles megalodon*, yahlala kwiilwandlekazi zoMhlaba malunga ne-23 ukuya kwi-3,6 yezigidi zeminyaka eyadlulayo, kwixesha elisuka kwi-Miocene ukuya kwi-Pliocene. Lo krebe mkhulu udume ngobungakanani bakhe obukhulu, obuqikelelwa ngaphezu kweemitha ezili-18 ubude. Ukuyibeka ngokwembono, obu bukhulu bulingana nookrebe abathathu abamhlophe ngoku kumqolo.
Iifosili zamazinyo e-megalodon kunye ne-vertebrae zifunyenwe kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zehlabathi, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba inosasazo olubanzi kakhulu lwejografi. I-megalodon yaziwa njengenye yezilwanyana ezoyikekayo zexesha layo, enamazinyo arhabaxa akwaziyo ukugqobhoza amathambo kunye nokuluma okunokubangela uxinzelelo oluya kutsho kwiitoni ezili-18.
Iintsomi malunga ne-megalodon eSpain
Amarhe okuba i-megalodon isenokuba isekhona kunxweme lwaseSpain iye yaphenjelelwa kukubonwa *okungangqinwanga* kunye nokufunyanwa kweefosili kwimimandla ekufutshane. Nangona kunjalo, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba amathambo e-megalodon afunyenwe eSpain asusela malunga ne-11 yezigidi ukuya kwi-2,6 yezigidi zeminyaka eyadlulayo, okude kakhulu kwixesha lethu langoku.
Iingxelo zokubonwa zidla ngokuba ngumphumo wokungaqondani okanye ukubaxwa kwezinto. Kwiimeko ezininzi, ookrebe abakhulu abafana ne-basking shark okanye i-shark emhlophe baye babhidaniswa ne-megalodon, nangona aba sharks banamhlanje bancinci kakhulu.
Isizathu sentsomi: Inzululwazi kunye nentsomi
I-megalodon ibambe umbono woluntu ngenxa yeefilimu, amaxwebhu kunye neenoveli apho iboniswa njengesidalwa esisindileyo kuvavanyo lwexesha. La majelo eendaba adlale indima ebalulekileyo ekwandiseni umbono wokuba i-megalodon isenokungena emanzini namhlanje.
Ngokwenzululwazi, abukho ubungqina obuxhasa ubukho bee<em>megalodon eziphilayo. Izifundo zePaleontological kwaye izazinzulu zaselwandle zigqiba kwelokuba i-megalodon yaphela kwizigidi zeminyaka eyadlulayo ngenxa yezinto ezifana nokuphola kwehlabathi, umphakamo ophantsi wolwandle, kunye nokhuphiswano nezinye iintlobo.
Iimfuno malunga ne-megalodon
Nangona i-megalodon iphelile, ibali layo liyaqhubeka linika umdla izazinzulu kunye nee-hobbyists ngokufanayo. Eminye imiba enomdla kakhulu malunga nesi sigebenga ibandakanya:
- Tamaรฑo I-avareji: Iimegalodons zafikelela kubude ukuya kuthi ga kwi-18 yeemitha, kodwa amazinyo efosili afunyaniswe abonisa ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba kubekho abantu abakhulu ngakumbi.
- Ukutya: Lo krebe utya kakhulu iicetaceans ezinkulu, amafudo olwandle kunye nabanye ookrebe.
- Ukuveliswa kwakhona: Kucingelwa ukuba, njengookrebe banamhlanje, i<em>megalodon yazala iphila iselula kunokuba izalele amaqanda.
Ubungqina bezenzululwazi bokuphela kwe-megalodon
Nangona umbono wokusinda kwe-megalodon uyonwabisa, yonke into ikhomba kuyo ukuphela kwizigidi zeminyaka eyadlulayo. Esi sigqibo sisekelwe kwiinkcukacha ezahlukeneyo zenzululwazi, ezifana nohlalutyo lwefosili kunye nezifundo zobushushu bolwandle bangaphambili.
Ukupholisa kwehlabathi jikelele kunye nokuncipha kweendawo eziselunxwemeni ngexesha lePliocene zizinto eziphambili ezibe negalelo ekungakwazini kwe-megalodon ukuziqhelanisa neemeko ezintsha zokusingqongileyo. Ukongeza, ukukhuphisana nezigebenga ezintsha zaselwandle ezinjengokhokho weminenga ebulalayo nabanye ookrebe kusenokwenzeka ukuba kuye kwadlala indima ebalulekileyo.
I-megalodon kwinkcubeko eyaziwayo
I-megalodon iseyi-a umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kwinkcubeko edumileyo, evela kuyo yonke into ukusuka kwiimuvi ezinkulu ukuya kwimidlalo yevidiyo ukuya kumaxwebhu embali yendalo. Lo mdla wenkcubeko awugcini nje ukugcina intsomi yobukho babo bangoku uphila, kodwa uvuselela umdla jikelele kwibhayoloji yaselwandle kunye ne-paleontology.
Amabali anamhlanje ahlala edibanisa iinyani zesayensi kunye nezinto ezintsonkothileyo, ezithimba ingqalelo yoluntu kwaye zigcine umdla kwesi sidalwa simangalisayo sakudala.
Ngamafutshane, nangona i-megalodon ingasekho, impembelelo eyishiyileyo kwinkcubeko yethu kunye nokufundwa kweelwandle kuya kuhlala ixesha elide. Imincili yezi zilwanyana zibalaseleyo zangaphambili isimema ukuba sifunde ngakumbi ngendalo kwaye sixabise ukutyeba nokuntsonkotha kobomi kwisijikelezi-langa sethu.
