Tokee

Isilwane esihuquzelayo esimibalabala esinezwi elinamandla, i-Tokee yesilisa ikhipha izingcingo eziphezulu ezizwakala njengokukhonkotha kwenja.

Izici

Abukeka kanjani amathokheni?

Amathokheni ayizilwane ezihuquzelayo ezingamalungu omndeni we-gecko. Lo mndeni ubizwa nangokuthi "i-Haftzeher" ngoba izilwane zingakwazi ukuhamba ezindongeni eziqondile ngisho nakumafasitelana engilazi. Amathokheni ayizilwane ezihuquzelayo ezinkulu. Zicishe zibe ngamasentimitha angama-35 kuya ku-40 ubude, ingxenye yazo ithathwe umsila.

Umbala wabo uyamangalisa: umbala oyisisekelo umpunga, kodwa unamachashazi namachashaza awolintshi agqamile. Isisu siyakhanya kuya kumhlophe futhi sinombala osawolintshi. Amathokheni angashintsha ukushuba kombala wawo ngandlela thize: uba ntekenteke noma uqine kuye ngesimo sawo semizwa, izinga lokushisa, nokukhanya.

Umlomo wazo mkhulu kakhulu futhi ubanzi futhi unemihlathi eqinile, amehlo azo anombala osaphuzi. Abesilisa nabesifazane kunzima ukuhlukanisa: abesifazane ngezinye izikhathi babonakala ngokuthi banezikhwama ngemuva kwamakhanda abo lapho begcina khona i-calcium. Amaduna avamise ukuba makhudlwana kunezinsikazi. Isici esivamile samathokheni yizinzwane emilenzeni yangaphambili nangemuva: kunemicu enamathela ebanzi lapho izilwane zingathola khona kalula unyawo futhi zihambe ngisho nasezindaweni ezishelelayo kakhulu.

Ahlala kuphi amaTokees?

Ama-Tokees asekhaya e-Asia. Lapho bahlala eNdiya, ePakistan, eNepal, eBurma, eningizimu yeChina, cishe yonke iNingizimu-mpumalanga Asia, nePhilippines, kanye naseNew Guinea. Ama-Tokees “angabalandeli bamasiko” bangempela futhi athanda ukungena ezingadini ngisho nasezindlini.

Yiziphi izinhlobo zamathokheni akhona?

Amathokheni anomndeni omkhulu: umndeni wesigcilikisha uhlanganisa imikhakha engama-83 enezinhlobo ezingaba ngu-670 ezihlukene. Asakazwa kulo lonke elase-Afrika, eningizimu yeYurophu, nase-Asia kuye e-Australia. Izigcilikisha ezaziwayo zihlanganisa amathokheni, isigcilikisha sengwe, isigcilikisha esisodongeni, nesigcilikisha sasendlini.

Uneminyaka emingaki ama-Tokees?

AmaTokees aphila kanjani?

Amathokheni asebenza kakhulu ebusuku. Kodwa abanye babo bavuka ntambama. Bese beyozingela bafune ukudla. Emini zicasha ezindaweni ezincane nasemifantwini. Amathokheni, njengamanye ama-geckos, aziwa ngokukwazi ukukhuphuka ngisho nezindonga ezibushelelezi. Lokhu kwenziwa umklamo okhethekile wezinzwani zabo: kukhona ama-lamellae amancane amancane, nawo ambozwe ngokuminyene ngezinwele ezincane ezingabonakala kuphela ngesibonakhulu.

Ziyingxenye yeshumi kuphela yokuqina kwezinwele zomuntu, futhi kukhona cishe i-5,000 yalezi zinwele ngemilimitha yesikwele. Lezi zinwele zona, zinezinhlamvu ezincane kakhulu ekugcineni kwazo. Bavumela i-tokee ukuba ibambelele ezindaweni ezibushelelezi ngendlela yokuthi ingakhululwa kuphela ngamandla: Uma i-tokee ibeka unyawo olulodwa phansi ngokuqinile, ingqikithi yonyawo iyavuleka futhi izinwele zicindezelwe phezulu. I-Tokee ishelela kancane eduze kwayo futhi ibambelele ngokuqinile.

Izibankwa ezinhle zivame ukugcinwa ezindaweni zokuhlala. Kodwa-ke, kufanele ucabange ukuthi bangaba yisicefe ebusuku ngezingcingo zabo ezinomsindo kakhulu. Futhi, qaphela imihlathi yabo eqinile: amathokheni azoluma uma esongelwa, okungaba buhlungu kakhulu. Uma seziluma, azidedeli kalula. Isikhathi esiningi, nokho, basongela kuphela ngemilomo evuleke kakhulu.

Abangane nezitha zamaThoki

Izilwane ezidla ezinye nezinyoni ezinkulu ezidla inyama zingaba yingozi kumaTokees.

Azala kanjani ama-tokees?

Njengazo zonke izilwane ezihuquzelayo, amathokheni abekela amaqanda. Insikazi, uma yondlekile, ingazalela amaqanda cishe njalo ngemva kwamasonto amahlanu kuya kwayisithupha. Kukhona iqanda elilodwa noma amabili i-clutch ngayinye. Kuye ngezinga lokushisa, amaphuphu achanyuselwa ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbili ekuqaleni. Kodwa-ke, kungathatha isikhathi eside ukuthi izingane ze-tokee ziphume eqandeni. Ezisikazi zizalela amaqanda okokuqala lapho sezinezinyanga eziyi-13 kuya kweziyi-16 ubudala.

Ama-Tokees anakekela ama-brood: abazali - ikakhulukazi abesilisa - baqapha amaqanda futhi kamuva ngisho namaphuphu asanda kuchanyuselwa, angamasentimitha ayisishiyagalombili kuya kwayishumi nanye ubude. Nokho, uma abasebasha nabazali behlukene, abazali abaziboni izingane zabo futhi baze babheke ingane njengesisulu. Ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha, amaTokee asemancane kakade asengamasentimitha angu-20 ubude, futhi lapho esenonyaka owodwa ubudala, asuke emude njengabazali bawo.

Khokha?! Indlela ama-tokees axhumana ngayo:

Ikakhulukazi ama-Tokees wesilisa angabafana abanomsindo kakhulu: Bashaya izingcingo ezizwakala njengokuthi “To-keh” noma “Geck-ooh” futhi zisikhumbuza kakhulu ukukhonkotha kwenja. Kwesinye isikhathi izingcingo zifana nokukhala kakhulu. Ikakhulukazi ngenkathi yokukhwelana, kusukela ngoDisemba kuya kuMeyi, abesilisa bakhipha lezi zingcingo; unyaka wonke bayathula.

Abesifazane abafoni. Uma bezizwa besongelwa, bavele baklabalale noma baklolode.
