Kwi-sloth, umhlaba ubukhulu becala ujonge ezantsi: Zijingisa intloko nasemva emithini kwaye zihamba nje ngokucotha.

iimpawu

Sikhangeleka njani i-sloth?

ISloth zizilwanyana ezanyisayo. Zingabakwi-superorder yezilwanyana zesibini ezichazwe. Babizwa ngokuba ngenxa yokuba ezinye ze-thoracic kunye ne-lumbar vertebrae zinamalungu angaphezulu kwezinye izilwanyana ezincancisayo. Zingaphezulu kumyalelo weengalo ezinamazinyo kwaye zenze iintsapho ezimbini: i-sloth eneenzwane ezintathu (i-Bradypodidae) kunye ne-two-toed sloths (Choloepidae).

I-sloth ezineenzwane ezintathu zimalunga neesentimitha ezingama-50 ubude kwaye zinobunzima ukuya kuthi ga kwiikhilogram ezintlanu, zineenzwane ezimbini zikhulu kakhulu: zifikelela kwi-75 yeesentimitha ubude kwaye zinobunzima obufikelela kwiikhilogram ezilithoba. Kwezinye iintlobo zesloth, imilenze yangaphambili mide kunemilenze yangasemva. Isiqhelo kwi sloth luhlobo kunye nenani leenzwane kwaye: Zidityanisiwe ngokuyinxenye. Endaweni yeenzwane ezintlanu, zonke i<em>sloth zineenzwane ezintathu kuphela kwimilenze yazo yangasemva.

I<em>sloth esineenzwane ezintathu sineminwe emithathu kwilungu ngalinye langaphambili, ngoxa i<em>sloth esineenzwane ezimbini sineminwe emibini kuphela. Ezi zinezipho ezifikelela kwi-intshi ezintathu ubude - amagwegwe afanelekileyo okuncamathela kumasebe omthi nomzimba kunye nentloko ejingayo. Uphawu lwesloth ngumnqonqo womlomo wesibeleko obhetyebhetye kakhulu: zinokujika iintloko zazo kwii-degrees ezingama-180.

Kwanoboya bazo obude, obuthe kratya abukhuli njengoko sisazi kwezinye izilwanyana ezanyisayo: isithsaba asibaleki ngasemva, kodwa sisisu. Oku kuvumela imvula ukuba ibaleke kuboya bezilwanyana ezijinga emthini. Ukongeza, uboya besloth budla ngokufakwa umbala oluhlaza ongaqhelekanga. Unobangela bubulembu obuncinane obuhlala kuboya bezilwanyana.

Ubulembu bukhula kakuhle kuboya obufudumeleyo nobufumileyo besloth, ngoxa i<em>sloth siye sazifihla kakuhle kwimithi yamahlathi ngenxa yombala oluhlaza woboya bawo. Ndiyabulela kwiintloko zabo ezijikelezayo ezinobuso obucaba kunye neendlebe ezincinci, ezijikelezayo, i-sloth ibonakala ngathi i-leprechauns ehlekisayo okanye emangalisayo.

Sihlala phi i-sloth?

I-Sloths ifumaneka kuphela kuMbindi kunye noMzantsi Melika, umda osemazantsi wokuvela kwabo usePeru nakumazantsi eBrazil. I<em>Sloths ichitha ixesha elininzi lobomi bazo kwincam yemithi yamahlathi ashinyeneyo.

Zeziphi iintlobo zesloth ezikhoyo?

Kukho iintsapho ezimbini kwi-sloth suborder: usapho lwe-sloth oluneenzwane ezintathu lubandakanya i-collared sloth (Bradypus torquatus), i-brown-throated sloth (Bradypus variegatus), kunye ne-white-throated sloth (Bradypus tridactylus). Olunye uhlobo, iBradypus pygmaeus, lufumaneka kuphela kwisiqithi esikunxweme lwasePanama. Usapho lwee-sloth ezineenzwane ezimbini (Cholooepidae) lubandakanya i-sloth esineenzwane ezimbini (Choloepus didactylus), ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-Unau, kunye ne-Hoffmann i-two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni). Izalamane ezisondeleyo ze-sloth zi-anteater kunye ne-armadillos

Ingaba i-sloth iba badala kangakanani?

Elona xesha kanye lingakanani i<em>sloth ezihlala endle akwaziwa. Abanye abaphandi bacinga ukuba baphila iminyaka engama-30 ukuya kwengama-40. I<em>sloth ezineenzwane ezimbini ubukhulu becala zigcinwa kwimizi yogcino-zilwanyana. Abanye babo bahlala apho iminyaka engaphezu kwama-20.

Ziphathe

Ziphila njani ii<em>sloth?

I-Sloths ngamaqabane ahamba lula kwaye athathwa njengezona zilwanyana zanyisayo zicothayo. Bachitha ixesha labo elininzi bezolile emthini. Zidla ngokujinga ngeenzipho esebeni, zizisonge, zibeke intloko ezifubeni zize zilale kangangeeyure ezili-15 ngosuku. Okanye bahlala kule ndawo kwifolokhwe yesebe.

Xa zivuka, ziqalisa ukukhangela ukutya, kodwa nalapho zihamba ngokungathi zihamba kancinci: izilwanyana ziyashixiza emasebeni, zijinga ngasemva. Ukuba azikwazi ukufikelela ekutyeni kwazo, oko kukuthi amagqabi, iziqhamo, neentyatyambo, ngokuthe ngqo ngemilomo yazo, zikubambe ngeenzipho zazo. I<em>Sloths ishiya iincochoyi zemithi kuphela xa kungekho kutya apho yaye kungekho nomnye umthi onokufikelelwa ngokuthe ngqo. Emva koko bakhwela emhlabeni baze bakhase ngokungafanelekanga kakhulu komnye umthi.

Ungakhasa uye phambili kuphela imilenze ilele ngesisu sakho. Emanzini, kwelinye icala, zingqineka zizindadi ezikwaziyo ukuqubha. Kodwa ngaba aba bemi basemahlathini baseluxolweni ngokwenene balibiza ngokufanelekileyo igama elithi “ivila”? Kwanokuba balala iiyure ezili-15 ngosuku, impendulo nguhayi. Kungenxa yokuba ii<em>sloth azonqeni kodwa ngobuchule ziye zaqhelana nemeko yazo ekhethekileyo yokuhlala. Ngenxa yokuba ukutya kwazo kufikeleleka lula, akukho mfuneko yokuba zihambe ngokukhawuleza. Kwakhona ngenxa yokuba ukutya okusekelwe kwizityalo akuniki amandla angako, indlela ecothayo yokuphila kwezilwanyana iye yazibonakalisa. Basebenzisa amandla amancinci kwaye banokuphila ngokutya kwezityalo.

Ukongeza, ukucotha kwabo kunenye inzuzo enkulu: Ukuba awutsibeki ngokungxama kumasebe emithi, akunakubonwa naziphi na iintshaba. Irhamncwa alinakubona lula i<em>sloth, esihamba ngesantya senkumba. Ukongezelela, uboya obuluhlaza obuluhlaza obubangelwa yi-algae buqinisekisa ukuba izilwanyana zifihlekile kwaye ziphantse zingabonakali.

Abahlobo neentshaba zevila

Ukongeza kwizilwanyana ezizingelayo, abantu bayingozi kakhulu: iisloth zizingelwa kwezinye iindawo zaseMzantsi Melika. Inyama yawo iyatyiwa kwaye uboya bawo busetyenziswa njengelaphu lesali.

Zizala njani ii<em>sloth?

AmaSloth angazala unyaka wonke. Ixesha lokumitha lithatha iinyanga ezintathu ukuya kwezine ezinesiqingatha kwi<em>sloth ezineenzwane ezintathu neenyanga ezisibhozo ukuya kwezisithoba kwi<em>sloth ezineenzwane ezimbini. Ngokuqhelekileyo, kuzalwa itakane elinye kuphela. Iimazi zizala amantshontsho ngokujinga emthini.

Iintsana zizalwa zintloko kuqala, zirhubuluzela kwisisu sikanina ukuya ebeleni lakhe. Apho babambelela baze bamunce imibele, ebekwe emakhwapheni emilenze yangaphambili. Amantshontsho evila ahlala ebambelele kuboya bukanina ngalo lonke ixesha. Ukuba iba mxinwa kakhulu xa ijinga emasebeni, kwanamantshontsho amancinci akhwela ngobuchule kumqolo kanina aze kamva abuyele esiswini sakhe.

Ama<em>sloth aselula aqalisa ukusitya ukutya kwabantu abadala esemancinane, yaye kwiinyanga ezimbini ezinesiqingatha sele esitya ngokwawo. Kodwa abantwana bancanciswa ukuya kutsho kwiinyanga ezintlanu kwaye bawushiya umzimba kamama kuphela kwiinyanga ezilithoba. Baye baqole ngokwesondo kwiminyaka emibini enesiqingatha ukuya kwiminyaka emithathu.
