Ziphila njani iibhiva?
Izibini zeebhiva zihlala kunye ubomi bonke. Bakha iindawo ezininzi zokuhlala kwindawo yabo. Lo ngumngxuma ongqukuva emhlabeni okanye isithuba emasebeni. Enye enjalo yindawo yokulala yeebhiva. Indawo yokuhlala ihlala ingaphezulu kwinqanaba lamanzi, kodwa ukufikelela kuphantsi kwamanzi. IiBeaver zikwenza oku ukuze zikhusele zona namantshontsho azo.
Iibeaver zakha amadama ukuze zenze ichibi ukuze iindawo zokungena kwiindawo ezihlala kuzo zihlale ziphantsi kwamanzi. Bagawula imithi enamazinyo abukhali. Ziyaphelelwa, kodwa ziphinde zikhule. Batya amaxolo. Zikwatya amasebe, amagqabi namaxolo emithi. Ngaphandle koko, batya kuphela izityalo, umzekelo, imifuno, ingca, okanye izityalo emanzini.
Ii<em>Beaver ziyasebenza ebusuku nangokuhlwa kwaye zilala emini. Abalali kodwa bakhangela ukutya kwabo nangoko. Isitoreji samasebe emanzini phambi komnyango sisebenza njengendawo yokugcina amaxesha apho amanzi enomkhenkce.
Abazali bahlala kwi-beaver lodge nezilwanyana zabo zonyaka ophelileyo. Abazali bakhwelana ngoFebruwari, kwaye malunga namantshontsho amane azalwa ngoMeyi. Umama uyamncancisa ngobisi lwakhe kangangeenyanga ezimbini. Bakhulile ngokwesondo xa bemalunga neminyaka emithathu ubudala. Emva koko abazali babagxotha kwintsimi yabo. Ngokwe-avareji, bafuduka malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-25 ngaphambi kokuseka usapho olutsha kwaye babanga indawo yabo.
Ngaba iibhiva zisengozini?
Iibeaver zifumaneka eYurophu naseAsia, kodwa nakwiMntla Melika. Iintshaba zabo zendalo ziibhere, iilynx, kunye neecougars. Kukho iibhere ezimbalwa kunye neelynx apha, kodwa ziya zisanda izinja ezizingelayo ezizingelayo iibeaver.
Noko ke, esona sisongelo sikhulu kwii<em>beaver ngabantu: kangangexesha elide, babezingela ii<em>beaver ukuze bazitye okanye basebenzise uboya bazo. Wada wafuna nokubatshabalalisa kuba bakhukulisa amasimi ephela ngamadama abo. Ekupheleni kwenkulungwane ye-19, kwakusele malunga ne-1,000 XNUMX kuphela iibhiva eYurophu.
Ngenkulungwane yama-20, ukuzingela kwaqalisa ukuvalwa yaye ii<em>beaver zakhuselwa. Ukususela ngoko, ziye zasasazeka kwakhona. Nangona kunjalo, ubunzima babo kukufumana imijelo yendalo apho banokuhlala khona bengaphazanyiswa kwaye bakhe amadama abo.
