Zibukeka kanjani izimpungushe?

Izimpungushe ziyizilwane ezidla inyama futhi zingamalungu omndeni we-canid, ngakho-ke zihlobene kakhulu nezinja nezimpisi. Zibukeka zifana nezezinja kodwa zinemilenze emifushane nomzimba omude kakhulu.

Izimpungushe zinobude obungamasentimitha angama-60 kuye kwangama-90, cishe ngamasentimitha angama-40 ukuphakama, futhi zinesisindo esingamakhilogremu ayisikhombisa. Okujwayelekile kubo umsila owugqinsi, onamahlathi, futhi omude kakhulu. Ilinganisa amasentimitha angu-40, ubude besigamu sempungushe yonke.

Uboya obuminyene bubomvu ngokunsundu, izihlathi, isisu kanti ingaphakathi lemilenze limhlophe. Isihloko somsila simhlophe noma simnyama ngombala. Ubuso bempungushe abunakungabaza, ngezindlebe ezimiswe ngokucophelela, ikhala elide elicijile, ikhala elimnyama, namehlo anama-elliptical pupils.

Izimpungushe zilula kakhulu futhi zincane uma ziqhathaniswa nezinja ezinosayizi ofanayo womzimba. Yingakho begijima kakhulu: Bakwazi ukugxuma bafinyelele kumamitha amahlanu namamitha amabili ukuphakama futhi bagijime amakhilomitha angama-50 ngehora. Bangakwazi futhi ukucasha emihumeni emincane kanye nasemgodini omncane kakhulu emhlabathini.

Zihlala kuphi izimpungushe?

Impungushe ingenye yezilwane ezidla ezinye ezisakazeke kakhulu: ihlala eYurophu (ngaphandle kwaseCyprus, eKrete, eMalta naseMallorca), eNyakatho Afrika, e-Asia naseNyakatho Melika. E-Australia, yethulwa ngabantu.

Izimpungushe zivumelana nezimo ngokwedlulele. Akukhathaleki noma kungamahlathi, izingwadule eziwugwadule, ugu nezintaba eziphakeme ezifika kumamitha angama-4500 ukuphakama - izimpungushe zithola indawo yokuhlala yonke indawo.

Kodwa futhi bazizwa besekhaya emapaki namuhla.

Futhi njengoba behlakaniphile, kade bathola ukuthi kukhona zonke izinhlobo zezibiliboco ezitholakala ezingadini emadolobheni, kodwa nasezindaweni zokulahla udoti nasezindundumeni zikadoti.

Yiziphi izinhlobo zempungushe ezikhona?

Ngaphandle kwempungushe yethu, impungushe ebomvu, kukhona impungushe yase-arctic esenyakatho ye-Arctic. Impungushe yasogwadule ihlala eNyakatho Afrika kanye ne-steppe fox emathafeni ase-Asia Ephakathi.

Izimpungushe ziba neminyaka emingaki?

Izimpungushe zingaphila iminyaka eyishumi nambili.

Ziphila kanjani izimpungushe?

Ngokungafani nezinye izilwane eziningi ze-canine - njengezimpisi noma izinja zasekhaya - izimpungushe azihlali emaphaketheni. Zincamela ukuzulazula zodwa emahlathini ziyozingela zodwa. Zihlala nomlingani wazo isikhathi esithile kuphela ngesikhathi sokukhwelana. Khona-ke impungushe nedlozi - yilokho okubizwa ngokuthi i-vixen - baphinde bahlukane futhi.

Izimpungushe zisebenza ebusuku nakusihlwa; bese bezulazula endaweni yabo befuna ukudla. Basebenzisa umuzwa wabo omuhle kakhulu wokuhogela nokuzwa ukuze balandelele inyamazane yabo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi igundane lithubeleza kanjani otshanini, alikwazi ukubalekela impungushe.

Izindevu eziningi empumulweni nasezidlaleni zisetshenziselwa ukubona ngisho nokunyakaza nokudlidliza okuncane kakhulu. Izimpungushe zihlehlela emigodini yazo engaphansi ukuze zilale nalapho isimo sezulu sisibi. Kwesinye isikhathi bayazimbela bona, kodwa ngesinye isikhathi bavele bangene emigodini embiwe amabheja noma onogwaja.

Imigodi ephumayo ohlangothini olunelanga ethandwa kakhulu: izimpungushe nabantwana bazo bathanda ukushiswa yilanga lapha. Umgodi unemigede eminingi kanye nemigede eyinhloko nephumayo - ngakho-ke impungushe inganyamalala emigodini yayo ezingxenyeni eziningi zendawo yayo ngokuphazima kweso.

Emigodini emikhulu kakhulu ngezinye izikhathi kunemiphakathi yangempela: izimpungushe, amabheji, ama-polecats ngisho onogwaja bahlala ndawonye ngokuthula - ngamunye engxenyeni yomgodi. Lokhu kusebenza kahle ngoba kukhona ukuthula emgodini: wonke umuntu ushiywe ngokuthula, futhi onogwaja akufanele besabe izimpilo zabo - kodwa empeleni kuphela inqobo nje uma besemgodini.

Abangane nezitha zempungushe

Izinkozi nezimpisi zaziyingozi ezimpungushe. Kodwa namuhla izimpungushe azinazo izitha zemvelo.

Babesongelwa kakhulu ngabantu: bake bezingelwa uboya babo.

Emashumini eminyaka amuva nje, kuye kwadingeka ukuba kubulawe izimpungushe eziningi ngenxa yokuthi yizona ezihamba phambili ezithwala isifo samarabi. Ngalesi sifo esibulalayo, impungushe ayikwazi ukuthelela ezinye izilwane kuphela kodwa nakubantu.

Izimpungushe ezingenwe amarabi ziziphatha ngendlela eyinqaba: Ziphelelwa ukwesaba abantu, ziba nolaka futhi ziyaluma. Ngakho-ke gwema impungushe okubonakala sengathi ihlezi ngokwethemba eceleni komgwaqo futhi ifuna ukutotoswa!

Zizalana kanjani izimpungushe?

Uma uzwa ukuhhewula nokukhonkotha ehlathini ngobusuku obubandayo bukaJanuwari noma ngoFebhuwari, lezi zimpungushe ngokuvamile ezifuna umlingani. Ngokuvamile, amadoda amaningana athanda owesifazane. Okhethiwe ekugcineni ashade nensikazi, ahlale nayo futhi asize ekukhuliseni abasha.

Abancane abathathu kuya kwabahlanu bazalwa ezinsukwini ezingama-50 kuya kwezingama-52 ngemuva kokukhwelana. Bancane, bayizimpumputhe, futhi banoboya obumpunga okumnyama. Zinesisindo esingamagremu angu-80 kuya kwangu-150 kuphela. Bavula amehlo abo ngemva kwamasonto amabili.

Lapho sebenenyanga eyodwa ubudala, bashiya umgodi okokuqala ngqa futhi baye ohambweni lwabo lokuqala. Izimpungushe ezincane zidlala kakhulu. Zizulazula ndawonye phambi komgodi amahora amaningi, zizilolongela konke ukunyakaza ezizozidinga kamuva ekuzingeleni. Ngemva kwezinyanga ezine nje sebezimele.

Yiziphi izingane ze-fox okufanele zifunde

Izimpungushe ezincane zashonelwa unina futhi zihlala endaweni yezilwane zasendle. Lapha bafunda lokho abakudingayo ezimpilweni zabo ngaphandle okukhulu.
