Amasele azizidalwa eziphila emanzini nasemanzini, oko kukuthi, izilwanyana ezinomqolo. Amasele, amaxoxo kunye namaxoxo abumba iintsapho ezintathu zeenurans. Zihlala emanzini njengezilwanyana ezincinci kwaye ke zibizwa ngokuba ngama-tadpoles. I-Tadpoles ine-gill kwaye ibonakala ihluke kakhulu kumasele amadala, ikhumbuza ngakumbi iintlanzi ezincinci. Kamva zikhula imilenze kwaye nemisila yazo ihlehle. Xa zikhula zibe ngamasele, ziphefumla ngemiphunga yazo.
Amasele akhetha ukuhlala kufuphi namachibi nemilambo. Ulusu lwabo lufumile ukusuka kumadlala amanci. Amasele amaninzi aluhlaza okanye amdaka ngebala. Kwiitropiki, kukwakho namasele anemibala: obomvu, omthubi, nobhlowu. Kwabaninzi, ungafumana ityhefu yotolo.
Elona sele likhulu yigoliath frog: intloko kunye nomzimba kunye zingaphezu kwe 30 centimeters ubude. Oko kumalunga nobude berula yesikolo. Nangona kunjalo, amasele amaninzi angena kakuhle kwisandla esinye.
Ngentlakohlaza unokuva amasele ayindoda ekhala. Bafuna ukuyisebenzisela ukutsala imazi ukuze babe nenkunzi kwaye babe nolutsha. Ikhonsathi yamasele enjalo inokuba phezulu kakhulu.
Ikakhulu amasele aqhelekileyo ahlala kumazwe ethu. Bathanda ukuhlala ematyholweni, kwiimori okanye egadini. Zitya izinambuzane, izigcawu, iintshulube, kunye nezilwanyana ezincinci ezifanayo. Ngamanye amaxesha ziyasinda ebusika kwimingxunya esemhlabeni, kodwa ziyakwazi ukuphila emazantsi echibi. EYurophu, amachibi amaninzi kunye namachibi ayezaliswe. Kukwakho nezinambuzane ezimbalwa nezimbalwa ngenxa yokulima ngamandla. Yiyo loo nto kukho amasele ambalwa nambalwa. Imilenze yesele iyatyiwa kwamanye amazwe, kuquka neYurophu.
Ahluke njani amasele kumaxoxo?
Umahluko omkhulu ulele kumzimba. Amasele abhityile kwaye alula kuneesele. Imilenze yabo yangasemva mide kwaye, ngaphezu kwayo yonke, yomelele kakhulu. Ngoko ke banokutsiba kakuhle kakhulu nakude. Amaxoxo akanakuyenza loo nto.
Umahluko wesibini ulele kwindlela ezibeka ngayo amaqanda: imazi yesele idla ngokubeka amaqanda alo abe ziziqwengana, ngelixa ixoxo liwabeka kwimitya. Le yindlela elungileyo yokuxelela ukuba yeyiphi inzala kumachibi ethu.
Nangona kunjalo, umntu makangalibali ukuba akusoloko kunokwenzeka ukwahlula ngokuchanekileyo amasele ukusuka kumaxoxo. Basondelelene kakhulu. Kumazwe ethu, amagama anceda: Ngesele lomthi okanye ixoxo eliqhelekileyo, igama sele lichaza ukuba yeyiphi intsapho.
