Intshayelelo: intaka yeambrela

I-ambrella bird, nekwaziwa ngokuba yi-umbrellabird enamanzi amade, luhlobo lwentaka enkulu ephuma kusapho lakwaCotingidae. Ithiywe ngegama layo elahlukileyo elimilise okweambrela elifumaneka kuphela kwiinkunzi zeentlobo. Intaka yeambrela ifumaneka kumahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi noMzantsi Merika kwaye yaziwa ngeempawu zayo ezikhethekileyo zomzimba kunye nemikhwa yokuzondla.

Iimpawu ezibonakalayo zentaka yeambrela

I-ambrella bird yintaka enkulu enokufikelela kwii-intshi ezingama-20 ubude kwaye inobunzima obuyi-1.5 yeekhilogram. Iinkunzi zinkulu kunemazi kwaye ziyaziwa ngecrest yazo eyodwa, eyenziwe ziintsiba ezinde ezimnyama ezenza imilo efana nedome phezu kwentloko yazo. Inkunzi yenkunzi isetyenziselwa ukutsala iimazi ngexesha lokukhwelana. Iimazi zona zinencanyana encinci kwaye zimdaka ngebala. Zombini iinkunzi neemazi zinentsiba ezinde ezibhityileyo ezijingayo emqaleni, ezaziwa ngokuba ziiwattles, ezinokufikelela kwi-intshi ezili-14 ubude.

Ukutya kunye nemikhwa yokutya kwentaka yeambrela

I-ambrella bird yintlanzi etya iindidi ngeendidi zokutya, kuquka iziqhamo, izinambuzane kunye nezilwanyana ezincinci. Baziwa ngokutya iziqhamo ezinjengamakhiwane, iziqhamo zesundu kunye namaqunube. Zikwatya nezinambuzane ezifana neentethe, ooqongqothwane, nemibungu. I-ambrella bird ikwaziwa ukuba ngamaxesha athile izondla izilwanyana ezincinci ezifana namacilikishe namasele.

Uluhlu lwejografi yentaka yeambrela

Iambrela ntaka ifumaneka kumahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi noMzantsi Merika. Uluhlu lwayo lusuka ePanama ukuya eBolivia naseBrazil.

Indawo yokuhlala yentaka yeambrela: amahlathi emvula asezantsi

Iambrela ntaka ifumaneka kumahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi noMzantsi Merika. Indawo yayo iphawulwa kukufuma okuphezulu, uhlaza oluxineneyo, nemithi emide. Iambrela bird ifumaneka ikakhulu kumandlalo wehlathi, apho itya iziqhamo nezinambuzane.

Iimpawu zokuhlala kweentaka zeambrela

Amahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi nakuMzantsi Merika awona mahlathi ahlala iiambrela. La mahlathi abonakala ngokufuma okuphezulu, imvula eninzi, kunye neentlobo ezahlukeneyo zezityalo nezilwanyana. Kumaleko wehlathi, apho ifumaneka khona iambrela, kuhlala iindidi ngeendidi zeentaka, eziquka iitoucan, izikhwenene nee<em>macaw.

Ukubaluleka kwendawo yokuhlala yeentaka zeambrela

Amahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi noMzantsi Merika ayindawo ebalulekileyo yezityalo nezilwanyana ezahlukahlukeneyo, kuquka nentaka yeambrela. La mahlathi abonelela ngeenkonzo ezibalulekileyo ze-ecosystem ezifana nokuhluthwa kwekhabhoni, ukulawulwa kwamanzi, kunye nokuzinza komhlaba. Kwakhona alikhaya kuluntu oluninzi lwemveli oluxhomekeke emahlathini ukuze baziphilise.

Izoyikiso kwindawo ezihlala iintaka zeambrela

Amahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi noMzantsi Merika asengozini ngenxa yezinto ezahlukahlukeneyo ezenziwa ngabantu, kuquka ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukugawulwa kwemithi nokulima. Le misebenzi iye yakhokelela ekulahlekeni kwendawo yokuhlala kunye nokuqhekeka, okuye kwaba nempembelelo enkulu kwi-ambrella bird kunye nezinye iintlobo ezihlala emahlathini.

Iinzame zokulondoloza indawo ehlala iiambrela ntaka

Iinzame zolondolozo zokukhusela indawo ezihlala kuyo ezi ntaka iambrella ziye zajolisa kubuchule obahlukahlukeneyo, kuquka ukutyunjwa kwendawo ekhuselweyo, ukulawulwa kwamahlathi ngokuzinzileyo, kunye namanyathelo olondolozo olusekelwe kuluntu. Le migudu iye yaphumelela ekukhuseleni ezinye zeendawo ezihlala iiambrela ezihlala kuzo, kodwa umsebenzi ongakumbi uyafuneka ukuze kulungiswe izisongelo eziqhubekayo kumahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi noMzantsi Merika.

Indima yentaka yeambrela kwi-ecosystem

Iambrela bird idlala indima ebalulekileyo kwi-ikhosistim kumahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi noMzantsi Merika. Njengesilwanyana sasendle, siyanceda ekusasazeni imbewu nokugcina iintlobo ngeentlobo zezityalo ehlathini. Ikwasebenza njengexhoba lezinambuzane kunye nezilwanyana ezincinci, inceda ukugcina ibhalansi ye-ecosystem yehlathi.

Ukuqukumbela: ukubaluleka kwendawo yokuhlala yeentaka zeambrela

Amahlathi ashinyeneyo akuMbindi noMzantsi Merika ayindawo ebalulekileyo yeentaka zeambrela kunye nezinye iintlobo ezininzi zezityalo nezilwanyana. La mahlathi abonelela ngeenkonzo ezibalulekileyo ze-ikhosistim kwaye alikhaya kuluntu oluninzi lwemveli. Noko ke, baphantsi kwesisongelo kwizinto ezahlukahlukeneyo ezenziwa ngabantu, yaye kufuneka imigudu engakumbi yokulondoloza ukuze bakhuseleke.
