Ama-Coral Aspid (lat. Micrurus) - uhlobo lwezinyoka ezinobuthi ezivela emndenini wama-aspid (Elapidae) Anombala ogqamile onamakhonkolo amnyama, abomvu nophuzi, ubukhulu nokuhleleka kokushintshana okuhlukile ngokuhlukahluka ezinhlotsheni ezihlukile. Zidla ngezikhonkwane ezincane, ama-amphibians ahlukahlukene nezinambuzane ezinkulu.

Incazelo

Ukusatshalaliswa eMelika, izinhlobo eziningi ziphila kusuka eMexico kuya e-Uruguay. Ubude bomzimba kusuka ku-50 cm ku-cobra (Micrurus frontalis) kanye ne-coral aspid ejwayelekile (I-Micrurus corallinus) kuze kufike ku-1.5 m ku-coral aspid enkulu (I-Micrurus spixii) abahlala e-Amazon. Enyakatho yebanga (i-USA, i-Indiana neKentucky) ama-corle ama-coral ama-coral abukhoma (I-Micrurus fulvius) (ubude bufika ku-1 m). Ukulunywa kwalezi zinhlobo ezinkulu kubeka engcupheni impilo yomuntu. Inani lokufa kwabantu ngemuva kokulunywa yi-harlequin aspid liphezulu kakhulu, ngaphandle kosizo umuntu angafa kungakapheli amahora angama-20- 24.

Ikhanda labamele ama-corus ama-coral aspid lincane futhi alififi. Umzimba wonke uphela ngomsila omfishane. Ezinhlanzini zasemanzini, ichopho lomsila liyisicaba, eliwuvumela ukuba usetshenziswe emanzini njengezicucu. Umlomo mncane futhi weluleke kancane, ubuthi obunobuthi buncane kakhulu.

Ukulingisa

Kunezinhlobo eziningi ezingezona ezinobuthi ezilingisa umbala wamakhorali ama-coral, okubandakanya inyoka yobisi (I-Lampropeltis triangulum) nenyoka yasebukhosini ekhathazekile (I-Lampropeltis triangulum elapsoides) ENyakatho Melika, ukuhleleka kwendandatho kungasiza ekuhlukaniseni phakathi kwezinhlobo ezingalingisi ubuthi zokulingisa kanye nezifiso ezinamakhorali ezinobuthi. Kukhona ngisho isisho esithi: "Bomvu futhi bumnyama bangabangane abashonile, ophuzi nabomvu bayingozi" ("Olubomvu nphuzi, bulala umfo, obomvu nomnyama, omnyama onobungane"). Kodwa-ke, ngokweqiniso, lo mthetho ungasetjenziswa kuphela kuma-coral aspid ahlala esifundeni eseningizimu nasempumalanga ye-United States: I-Micrurus fulvius, I-Micrurus tener futhi I-Micruroides euryxantus. Ama-coral aspid akwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba angaba nemibala ehlukene kakhulu - izindandatho ezibomvu zingathinta ezimnyama, kungaba khona izindandatho ezibomvana nezihlaza okwesibhakabhaka, noma kungabikho izindandatho nhlobo.

Ukuziphatha

Ama-coral aspid anzima ukuthola futhi abambe, asebenzisa isikhathi sawo esiningi efihla emhlabathini noma ecashe emagqabini awileyo emahlathini emvula asezindaweni ezishisayo, avela kuphela emvuleni noma ngesikhathi sokuzalela. Ezinye izinhlobo, ngokwesibonelo, I-Micrurus surinamensisphila njalo njalo emanzini, ezindaweni lapho kukhona khona izimila eziminyene.

Njengazo zonke izinyoka zomndeni we-aspid, ama-coral ama-coral ama-bite asebenzisa amazinyo amancane amancane emhlathini ongenhla. Ngokungafani nezinyoka, ezinamaphiko agudluzayo futhi zithanda ukukhipha isisulu ngokushesha ngemuva kokuhlaselwa, ama-coral spid azama ukubamba amazinyo lapho eluma ukuze ubuthi busebenze ngokushesha.

Ama-coral aspid ama-akhawunti angaphansi kwe-1% yabo bonke abalunywe yinyoka e-United States, ngoba abamele lolu hlobo lobutha abanolaka futhi abavamile ukuhlasela. Iningi lokulunywa kwabo kwenzeka ngenxa yokuxhumana ngephutha, ngokwesibonelo, ngesikhathi somhlangano wengadi.
