Intshayelelo: Iintaka ze-Spoonbill
Iintaka ze-Spoonbill liqela leentaka ezibhabhayo eziphuma kusapho i-Threskiornithidae. Zaziwa ngokwahlukana kwazo okumile okwecephe, elisetyenziselwa ukuhluza izilwanyana ezincinci zasemanzini emanzini. Kukho iintlobo ezintandathu zeentaka ze-Spoonbill ezifumaneka kwihlabathi jikelele, kuquka i-Roseate Spoonbill, i-Yellow-billed Spoonbill, kunye ne-African Spoonbill.
Ubume bomzimba kunye nobukhulu
Iintaka ze-Spoonbill zinemilo yomzimba eyahlukileyo ezenza zahluke kwezinye iintaka ezibhabhayo. Zinentamo ende emile kancinci ka-S kunye nomzimba otyebileyo. Iintaka ze-Spoonbill zihlala zijikeleze i-2-3 yeenyawo ubude kwaye zinamaphiko ajikeleze i-4-5 yeenyawo. Zinobunzima obuphakathi kweekhilogram ezi-2 ukuya kwezi-4, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe yenye yeentaka eziphaphazelayo ezikhaphukhaphu.
Ubume bebhili kunye nobukhulu
Eyona nto yahlukileyo yentaka yeSpoonbill lityala layo. Ityala limile okwecephe, linencam ebanzi, ethe tyaba esetyenziselwa ukukhupha ukutya emanzini. Ityala lijikeleze i-intshi ezi-6-8 ubude kwaye lihlala limnyama okanye lingwevu ngombala. Ityala lentaka Spoonbill nalo linovakalelo kakhulu kwaye liyakwazi ukubona ixhoba ngokulibamba.
Umbala weentsiba
Iintaka ze-Spoonbill zinemibala ephawulekayo yentsiba eyahluka phakathi kweentlobo. Umzekelo, iRoseate Spoonbill, inentsiba ezipinki eziqaqambileyo entloko, entanyeni, nasemqolo, ngelixa i-African Spoonbill inentsiba ezimhlophe ezinombhalo omnyama kunye nemilenze. Iintsiba zeentaka ze-Spoonbill zihlala zinde kwaye ziyaphaphazela, zibonelela ngokugqumayo kwintaka xa isemanzini.
Umbala wamehlo kunye nokubekwa
Iintaka zeSpoonbill zinamehlo amakhulu, amnyama abekwe phezulu entloko. Oku kubenza babone ixhoba emanzini ngaphandle kokugoba intamo yabo, nto leyo enokubangela ukuba baphulukane nokulinganisela. Indawo yamehlo ikwanika iintaka zeSpoonbill indawo ebanzi yokubona, nto leyo ezivumela ukuba zibone amarhamncwa ukude.
Ubude bentamo kunye nokuguquguquka
Iintaka zeSpoonbill zinentamo ende, ethambileyo ezivumela ukuba zifikelele emanzini ukuze zibambe amaxhoba. Intamo ikwazi ukulawuleka kakhulu, nto leyo evumela intaka ukuba ijike kwaye ijike intloko ngaphandle kokushukuma umzimba wayo. Oku bhetyebhetye kubalulekile kwiintaka zeSpoonbill xa zizingela kumanzi angekho nzulu anezityalo ezixineneyo.
Ukumila kwephiko kunye nobubanzi
Iintaka zeSpoonbill zinamaphiko abanzi asetyenziselwa ukubhabha kunye nokubhabha. Iimpiko zigobile kancinane kwaye zinencam etsolo, nto leyo enceda le ntaka ikwazi ukuzinza xa ibhabha. Iintaka ze-Spoonbill zinamaphiko ajikeleze i-4-5 yeenyawo, ezivumela ukuba zigqume imigama emide xa zifuduka.
Ubude bomlenze kunye nokubekwa
Iintaka zeSpoonbill zinemilenze emide necekethekileyo ebekwe kude emizimbeni yazo. Oku kubanika uzinzo xa behamba kumanzi angekho nzulu kwaye kunceda ekwabeni ubunzima bazo ngokulinganayo. Imilenze ikwasetyenziselwa ukulinganisa xa intaka ithe ngcu emthini okanye esebeni.
Ukhetho lwendawo yokuhlala
Iintaka ze-Spoonbill zifumaneka kwiindawo ngeendawo zokuhlala, kuquka imigxobhozo, imigxobhozo, kunye namachweba. Zikhetha iindawo zokuhlala ezingenzulwanga, ezinamanzi acwengileyo ezinezityalo ezininzi zokugquma nokutyisa. Iintaka ze-spoonbill nazo zinokufunyanwa kwiindawo eziselunxwemeni, apho zitya ii-crustaceans ezincinci kunye neentlanzi kumanzi angekho nzulu.
Iipateni zokufuduka
Iintaka ze-Spoonbill ziyafuduka, zihamba imigama emide phakathi kweendawo ezizalela kuzo kunye neendawo zokuchitha ubusika. Ezinye iintlobo, ezifana ne-Roseate Spoonbill, zifudukela kuMbindi kunye noMzantsi Melika ngeenyanga zasebusika. Ezinye iintlobo, ezifana ne-African Spoonbill, zihlala kwindawo yazo unyaka wonke.
Ukutya kunye nokuziphatha kokutyisa
Iintaka ze-Spoonbill ziyatya kwaye zitya kwiintlobo zezilwanyana ezincinci zasemanzini, kuquka intlanzi, i-crustaceans kunye nezinambuzane. Zisebenzisa ibhilidi yazo emile okwecephe ukuhluza emanzini kwaye zihluze amaxhoba azo. Iintaka ze-Spoonbill nazo ziyaziwa ngokuziphatha kwazo okukodwa kokutya, okubandakanya ukusebenzisa i-bill yabo ukudala ukuphazamiseka emanzini, kubangela ukuba ixhoba liphazamiseke kwaye kulula ukulibamba.
Isongelo sokusinda
Iintaka ze-Spoonbill zijongene noluhlu lwezoyikiso kubomi bazo, kubandakanya ukulahleka kwendawo yokuhlala, ungcoliseko kunye nokuzingela. Ukutshatyalaliswa kwemigxobhozo, ngokukodwa, kube nempembelelo ebalulekileyo kwiintaka zeSpoonbill, njengoko kunciphisa ukufumaneka kweendawo zokuhlala ezifanelekileyo ezizalayo kunye nezokutya. Ukuzingelwa kweentaka zeSpoonbill ukufumana iintsiba kunye nenyama yazo kube sisisoyikiso esibalulekileyo kweminye imimandla.
Isiphelo: Iimpawu ezizodwa zeentaka zeSpoonbill
Iintaka ze-Spoonbill liqela elinomdla leentaka ezibhabhayo ezineempawu ezizodwa. Umzimba wabo omile okwecephe, intamo ende, kunye namehlo amakhulu namnyama abenza bahluke kwezinye iintlobo zeentaka. Iintaka ze-Spoonbill nazo ziyakwazi ukulungelelaniswa kakhulu, ziyakwazi ukuphumelela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokuhlala ezimanzi emhlabeni jikelele. Noko ke, ajamelene noluhlu lwezinto ezisongela ukuphila kwazo, yaye kubalulekile ukuba kuphunyezwe iinzame zokulondoloza ezi zilwanyana zibalaseleyo.
