Abukeka kanjani ama-seahorses?

Ama-Seahorses empeleni ayizinhlanzi, ngisho noma azibukeki nhlobo: Amaphiko awo acishe anciphe ngokuphelele, umzimba wawo ocindezelwe eceleni uvikelwe ithambo lesikhumba eliqinile, elinezimbambo, futhi anomlomo oshubhu, ongenamazinyo.

Igama lakhe lesiJalimane livela esimweni sekhanda lakhe, elifana ngempela nehhashi. Intamo egobile nayo iyafana neyamahhashi. Ukuma kwazo nakho akujwayelekile ezinhlanzini: zintanta ziqonde emanzini futhi azibhukudi zibheke phezulu njengezinye izinhlanzi.

Kuphela nge- dorsal fin encane, ecishe yancipha ngokuphelele lapho ingaqhubekela khona kancane kancane, amaphiko amabili e-pectoral, nawo ancishiswe kakhulu, asebenza njengamaphini okuqondisa. I-caudal fin yazo nayo ayibukeki njengeyezinye izinhlanzi kodwa isishintshile yaba umsila oqinile ezingawusebenzisa ukuze unamathele ezitshalweni noma emakhoraleni.

Ama-seahorses ahluka kakhulu ngosayizi. Encane kunazo zonke itholakale muva nje: ihhashi lasolwandle iTasmanian, elingamasentimitha angu-1.5 kuphela ubude.

I-pygmy seahorse engamasentimitha amabili ubude nayo ingenye yezinhlobo ezincane. Abameleli abakhulu kunawo wonke i-pot-bellied seahorse, engamasentimitha angu-25, kanye ne-Pacific seahorse, engamasentimitha angu-20 ubude.

Izinhlobo ezihlala eYurophu ziphakathi nendawo: i-seahorse ene-short-snouted ingamasentimitha ayisikhombisa kuya kwayi-13 ubude, kanti enamafinyila amade angama-8.5 kuya ku-18 amasentimitha. Umbala wama-seahorses ungahluka kakhulu: kusukela ophuzi kuya ku-orange kanye nonsomi ukuya ku-brown, omnyama nomhlophe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, zingenziwa iphethini.

Futhi zinekhono lokushintsha umbala wazo: uma uhlanganisa izilwane ezinemibala ehlukene, zizojwayelana ngombala kanye nendawo ezungezile. Ihhashi lasolwandle elinekhala elide lize libe nama-appendages aminyene ekhanda nasentanyeni abonakala njengomhlwehlwe.

Ahlala kuphi ama-seahorses?

Ama-seahorses ahlala olwandle olufudumele lomhlaba. Amahhashi asolwandle anamafitshane nanamade amade atholakala e-Mediterranean, Black Sea, nasempumalanga ye-Atlantic. Kuyivelakancane ukubathola ngisho naseNorth Sea. Ama-seahorses ayachuma emanzini angashoni angashoni, azolile asogwini. Ezinye izinhlobo zithanda izimfunda eziminyene zotshani basolwandle, ezinye zingatholakala ezindaweni ezinamatshe, ogwini olunamadwala noma phakathi kwe-algae.

Yiziphi izinhlobo zamahhashi akhona?

Kunezinhlobo ezingama-30 kuya kwezingama-35 ezihlukene zama-seahorse. Kwabanye, abacwaningi abanaso isiqiniseko sokuthi bayizinhlobo ezihlukile, ngoba ama-seahorses ohlobo oluthile angabukeka ehlukile ukusuka esifundeni kuya kwesinye. Amahhashi asolwandle anamafitshane nanamade amade ahlala eMedithera nasePacific seahorse ePacific. Okuhlobene kakhulu nama-seahorses amadragoni asolwandle amancane namakhulu.

Zombili lezi zinhlobo zitholakala kuphela emanzini apholile ngasogwini oluseningizimu ye-Australia. Anama-appendages ahlukahlukene afana ne-lobe ukuze afane nesiqephu sokhula lwasolwandle futhi afihleke kahle phakathi kwe-algae kanye nemibhede yotshani basolwandle.

Ama-seahorses athola iminyaka emingaki?

Ama-Seahorses aphila iminyaka emine ekuthunjweni. Emvelweni, bangaphila iminyaka engaba yisithupha.

Ahlala kanjani ama-seahorses?

Ukubukeka okuxakile kwama-seahorses kuyawasiza ukuba aphile: Izinhlanzi ezidla ezinye aziboni lezi zilwane eziyinqaba, ezivame ukuntweza phakathi kwezitshalo, njengezizingelayo. Igobolondo lethambo lesikhumba esiqinile nalo lonakalisa ukudla kwezinhlanzi eziningi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, inyamazane yasolwandle ngokuvamile ibona sekwephuzile ukuthi isondela esilwaneni esizingelayo. Ama-Seahorses ahlala ngababili futhi ahlala endaweni ndawonye.

Izilwane zihlala ndawonye impilo yonke, futhi uma umlingani oyedwa efa, omunye ngokuvamile akahlali isikhathi eside. Njalo ekuseni kuba nesiko lokubingelela elisebenza ukuqinisa isibopho phakathi kwabalingani ababili. Insikazi ijwayele ukubhukuda iye kweyeduna bese iyicela ukuthi idanse. Ibamba ingxenye yesitshalo ngomsila wayo owesilisa ebambelele kuwo, futhi zombili zisonteka eduze kwesiqu sesitshalo. Ekugcineni, abambana imisila abhukude azungeze insimu yawo ndawonye. Bese behlukana, futhi ngamunye uchitha usuku ngokuzimela ezifunela ukudla.

Abangane nezitha ze-seahorse

Ama-seahorses amancane adliwa izinhlanzi ezidla ezinye, ikakhulukazi emasontweni ambalwa okuqala okuphila: cishe yisilwane esisodwa kuphela ezinkulungwaneni ezisindayo. Izilwane ezindala zikwazi ukuzifihla futhi zihambisana nombala endaweni ezizungezile kangangokuthi zivikeleke kahle ezilwaneni ezidla ezinye. Nokho, ama- anemone asolwandle anobuthi noma amakhorali angaba yingozi kuwo, njengoba kungaba njalo nezinkalankala ezinkulu ze-hermit.

Azala kanjani ama-seahorses?

Ukukhulisa ama-seahorses amancane kuwumsebenzi wendoda: amaduna afukamela amaqanda futhi anakekele inzalo. Ngemva komkhuba wokuqomisana ongathatha amahora amaningana futhi ofana nomkhuba wokubingelela wasekuseni, bobabili sebelungele ukushada: Insikazi iphakamisa ikhala layo futhi yelula umsila wayo uqonde phansi. Iduna libe selilungisa isikhwama sayo sezingane. Inyakazisa umsila wayo emuva naphambili njengojeke. Lokhu kumpompa amanzi angene futhi aphume ephaketheni le-brood ukuze ahlanzeke futhi aqukethe kuphela amanzi ahlanzekile, anomoya-mpilo. Bese kuthi eyeduna yelulele ikhala layo phezulu.

Eyensikazi ibe isikhipha umshini wokubekela amaqanda okhethekile, iwufake esikhwameni sezinkukhu seduna, bese izalela amaqanda angaba ngu-200. Ngemva kwalokhu, umbhangqwana uyahlukana bese owesilisa efaka isidoda sakhe esikhwameni sezingane ukuze akhiphe amaqanda. Udonga lwangaphakathi lwesikhwama se-brood lugcwele imithambo yegazi enikeza inzalo umoya-mpilo nezakhi.

Kuye ngezinga lokushisa, ukukhula kwezingane kuthatha amasonto amabili kuya kwayisihlanu. Khona-ke “ukuzalwa” kwentsha kwenzeka: eyeduna iphinde inyakazise umsila wayo njengojeke bese impompa amanzi esikhwameni - ama-seahorses amancane alahlwa emanzini avulekile.

Sebevele bafane ncamashi nabazali babo, kodwa basebancane futhi balinganisa amasentimitha angu-1.5 kuphela, isibonelo kuhhashi lasolwandle elinekhala elide. Uzimele ekuqaleni. Basuke sebevuthiwe ngokocansi cishe ezinyangeni eziyisithupha.

Amahhashi asolwandle azingela kanjani?

Ama-seahorses angabazingeli abaqamekelayo abavamile: abazingeli kodwa balinda benganyakazi futhi becashe kahle phakathi kwezitshalo zasemanzini kuze kube yilapho isilwane esizingelayo sibhukuda phambi kwemilomo yazo. Ibe isimuncwa ngokushesha ngomlomo we-tubula bese igwinya.
