Irhamba luhlobo lwenyoka. Uthanda ukuhlala apho kushushu kakhulu emini kwaye kubanda ebusuku. Ukubuyisela, inokwenza into enokwenziwa ziinyoka ezimbalwa: Imazi ifukamela amaqanda emzimbeni wayo ize izale amantshontsho “esele elungile”. Ii-adder zinetyhefu kwaye sinazo nathi.
IiAdders ezihlala eYurophu naseAsia, kodwa ngakumbi kwiindawo ezisemantla. Iimazi ezininzi zingaphantsi nje kwemitha ubude, iinkunzi zimfutshane nangakumbi. Zikholisa ukuba nobunzima obumalunga ne-100 ukuya kuma-200 eegram, okt ubunzima njengebha okanye ezimbini zetshokolethi.
Ii-adders zinokubonwa ngepateni egoso-goso kwimiqolo yazo. Kumnyama kunomzimba wonke. Kodwa kukho iinyoka ezikhethekileyo ezimnyama, umzekelo, inyoka yesihogo. Kodwa ikwayeyabo banqamlezileyo.
Amarhamba aphuma kwirhamba. "I-Otter" ligama elidala le "Viper". Omnye akufanele ababhidanise kunye nee-otters zangempela, umzekelo kunye ne-otters. Zizii-martens kwaye ke zizilwanyana ezanyisayo.
Ziphila njani iinyoka?
IiAdders zivuka kwi-hibernation phakathi kukaFebruwari no-Aprili. Zithi ke zingqengqe elangeni ixesha elide kuba azikwazi kuzifudumeza ngokwazo. Balalela ukuze bazityise. Ziluma kuphela ixhoba lazo ngokufutshane kwaye zitofe ityhefu emazinyweni azo. Ixhoba linokuthi ke libaleke kancinci lide libhubhe life. Irhamba ke liyayiqwenga, ngokuqhelekileyo intloko kuqala. IiAdders azikhethi. Zitya izilwanyana ezincinci ezincancisayo njengeempuku, amacikilishe, namasele.
Ngentwasahlobo, ii-ader zifuna ukwanda. Ngamanye amaxesha amadoda amaninzi alwela imazi. Emva kokukhwelana, amaqanda ama-5 ukuya kwali-15 akhula kwisisu sikanina wenyoka. Banesikhumba esomeleleyo kuphela njengeqokobhe. Ukufudumala ngokwaneleyo, bahlakulela ukufudumala kwesibeleko. Emva koko bagqobhoza inwebu yeqanda baze baqanduselwe ngoko nangoko emzimbeni kamama. Ngoko zilingana nepensile. Kungekudala emva koko baya kunyibilika, oko kukuthi, bayaphuma eluswini lwabo ngenxa yokuba luncinci kakhulu. Emva koko baye kuzingela. Kufuneka babe neminyaka emithathu ukuya kwemine ubudala phambi kokuba bazivelise kwakhona.
Ngaba iinyoka zisengozini?
Iinyoka zineentshaba zendalo: iimbila, iimpungutye, iihagu zasendle, iihedgehogs neekati zasekhaya. Kambe ke kwaneengwamza, oonomyayi, ookhwalimanzi, oomaqili, neenkozi ezahlukahlukeneyo ziyinxalenye yawo, kwanentaka yasekhaya. Iinyoka zengca nazo ziyathanda ukutya ama-apile amancinci. Kodwa oku kwenzeka ngenye indlela.
Okubi kakhulu kukunyamalala kweendawo zokuhlala zendalo zenyoka: zifumana iindawo zokuhlala ezimbalwa nezimbalwa. Abantu bavumela amabala eembila akhule ngamatyholo okanye amahlathi ezityalo. Iindawo ezininzi zendalo ziyazidinga kwezolimo ukuze izilwanyana ezitya inyoka zingakwazi ukuphila. Kwakhona, maxa wambi abantu baya kuyixhela irhamba ngenxa yoloyiko.
Yiyo loo nto i-adders kumazwe ethu ekhuselwe yimithetho eyahlukeneyo: akufuneki baxhatshazwe, babanjwe, okanye babulawe. Kuphela loo nto ayinamsebenzi omncinci ukuba iindawo zokuhlala zitshatyalalisiwe. Kwiindawo ezininzi, ziphelile okanye zisongelwa ngokubhanga.
