I-Andean condor (iVultur gryphus) iyinyoni emangalisayo, okuthi, ngomaye, isongelwa ngokuqothulwa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi abelusi, ngephutha bekholelwa ukuthi i-condor yiyona ebangele ukucekelwa phansi kwemfuyo, badubula lezi zinyoni ngaphandle kokuzisola okukhulu.
Lokhu kuyacasula kakhulu ngoba inkazimulo enjalo ayifanele neze i-condors - izigqoko zayo ziqondile futhi azishintshiwe ukuze zithwale inyamazane yazo. Yebo, abayidingi, ngoba ama-condors adla u-carrion kule ndawo. Futhi ingxenye encane yokudla kwabo yenziwa ngamaqanda namachwane ezinye izinhlobo zezinyoni.
Ngakho-ke, laba abamele umbuso wombala ocixwe, ngokungafani nalokho, badingeka kakhulu emvelweni, ngoba bahlelekile ngokwemvelo. By the way, ama-Incas aqukethe i-condor futhi akholwa ngokweqiniso ukuthi amaphiko athembekile alezi zinyoni asekela ilanga uqobo. Baphinde bakholelwa nokuthi umphefumulo wama-Andes uboshwe ngaphakathi kuma-condors. Manje lezi zinyoni ziyimpahla yezifundazwe eziningana zaseNingizimu Melika, ngoba u-condor "ubuyise igama lakhe elihle."
Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus).
Amakhondomu ahlala, njengoba negama lawo lisho, uhla lwezintaba luhamba lonke ugu olusentshonalanga yezwe laseNingizimu Melika - i-Andes. Lezi zinyoni zitholakala endaweni ephakeme engamamitha ayizinkulungwane ezinhlanu ngaphezu kolwandle. Izinyoni eziningi zihlala ephahleni oluvulekile, olubizwa nge- “paramo” lapha, futhi ezimeni ezingandile lapho zitholakala emathafeni aseNingizimu Melika.
I-Andean Condor ingummeleli omkhulu hhayi wonke umndeni wamaqhubu aseMelika kuphela, futhi iyinyoni enkulu kunazo zonke kulo lonke iWestern Hemisphere.
Lezi zinyoni zibizwa ngokuthi "umphefumulo wama-Andes."
Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi uphansi ngobude bomzimba (115 - 135 amasentimitha) esihlotsheni sakhe, i-California condor, amaphiko akhe angaphezulu kokumelana futhi avame ukudlula amamitha amathathu. Isisindo sowesifazane siyahluka kusuka ku-8 kuya ku-11 kilos, ama-max max akhula aze afinyelele ku-15 kilos. Ngenxa yobuningi bomzimba wabo obuhlaba umxhwele, ama-condors akhetha ukuqhubekela kumoya ojikelezayo, ngoba asiza izinyoni zikhuphukele emoyeni, zonga amandla.
Andean Condor - inyoni enhle yasezintabeni.
Njengezilwane ezinamaphiko ezinye izinhlobo, ama-condors anekhanda cishe eliyimpandla. Kuphela kwabesifazane kuphela “linqunu” ngokuphelele futhi libushelelezi, futhi nekhanda labesilisa ligqokiswe umji wezikhumba, obanikeza ukubukeka okuhle. Isikhumba esisezintanjeni zabesilisa silinganiselwe, sakha okubizwa ngokuthi “amacici”. Imvamisa, ulwelwesi lwezinyoni lupinki olukhanyayo. Ngesikhathi sokuthandana kuphela, isikhumba sabesilisa siba ophuzi okhanyayo. Isidumbu se-condors simbozwe iplamu enhle yombala wamnyama namnyama, buhlanjululwe kuphela ngekhola emhlophe entanyeni. Kwabanye abantu, okumhlophe kutholakala ngesimo somngcele ezimpaphe zezimpukane. Umbala wamehlo kwabesilisa ubomvu mnyama, futhi kwabesilisa onsundu.
Ngokubhekisisa nokuhlonishwa kwezinye izinyoni kufanele kube noqhwaku olunamandla lwama-condors, obudwetshwe mnyama ngombala ophuzi. Imvelo ibonakala ithatha isinqumo sokunikeza inyoni ithuluzi elinamandla kangaka, ngesinxephezelo ngenxa yokuncipha kwemihlazo. Lapho umhambisi, ngombono wakhe oyingqayizivele, ebuka inyamazane bese eqonda esitezi sakusihlwa ekudleni, abanye abaseshi behlukana phambi kwakhe ngenhlonipho balinde kuze kube yilapho i-condor igcwala. Iqiniso liwukuthi kaningi kuphela uqhomo onamandla we-condor okwazi ukudabula izikhumba ezinyene zezilwane ezinkulu, yingakho ukugcwaliseka kokuphakama kwalezi zinyoni nezinye izilwane nezinyoni.
U-Andean condor ngokundiza.
I-Condor dines isikhathi eside, isisu sayo siyakwazi ukubamba amakhilogremu amane wokudla ngasikhathi. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi "okuphanga" okufanele kungatholakali kaningi, futhi izinkathi zokudla ngokweqile zivame ukufakwa esikhundleni sokubulawa yindlala isikhathi eside (kwesinye isikhathi kufika ezinsukwini ezingama-20). Kwesinye isikhathi lezi zinyoni zidla ngokweqile kangangokuba azikwazi ukundiza isikhathi eside futhi zihlale, zilinde ukudla ukuthi kugaye okungenani esiswini sazo. Ngalesi sizathu, bathokozela kakhulu i-carrion eziqongweni zamawa noma ezindaweni ezivulekile eziphakeme, ukuze kuthi lapho kwenzeka behlelwa yingozi bangawela phansi itshe bese, bezilungisa nomoya, belule amaphiko abo futhi bandize.
Okubanzima kakhulu ama-condors yilapho amancela enkulisa. Njengoba, njengoba sesishilo, uzipho lwama-condors awushintshiwe ukuze kudluliselwe ukudla, kufanele agcwalise isisu endaweni ngangokunokwenzeka, ukuze, lapho esebuye esidlekeni, ondle inzalo ngokudla okugcotshwe.
I-Andean condor isuthisa amachwane ayo ngokudla okuhlanganisiwe.
Amandla okuzala afinyelela ku-condor ngonyaka wesihlanu noma wesithupha wokuphila, futhi akha ngababili ngokuphila konke. Abesilisa beCondor banakekela intokazi enhle kakhulu, idansa umdanso oyinkimbinkimbi. Unamathela esifubeni sakhe nasemiqondweni yakhe, bese eqala ukushaya izandla, esakaza amaphiko akhe amakhulu. “I-pa” elandelayo iwukuthi owesilisa ugoqa amaphiko awo ngesigamu, bese ekhonkotha, ekhonkotha endaweni yakhe.
Ngemuva kokudansa imidanso nokuvuthwa, yisikhathi sokubandakanya inzalo. Izidleke zeCondor ziyizidala - zingakhawulelwa udoti omncane wamahlumela, noma zibambe amaqanda ematsheni angenalutho. Insikazi ibekela iqanda elilodwa, kwesinye isikhathi amaqanda amhlophe okwesibhakabhaka ngenyanga kaFebhuwari noma ngoMashi. Bobabili abazali bafaka amaqanda.
Kuze kube yilapho amaphuphu eba namaphiko, abazali bawo bondla ukudla okugaywe ngogqinsi, abakuqothula esiswini sabo, kepha amachwane asekhulile ahlala nabazali unyaka owodwa nohhafu, ebashiya kuphela isikhathi esizayo sokuzala.
Uma uthola iphutha, sicela ukhethe ucezu lombhalo bese ucindezela I-Ctrl + Faka.
Ukubukelwa kafushane kwezinhlobo zezilwane
I-Andean Condor iyinyoni enkulu enamapayipi amnyama acwebezelayo, ikhola yezimpaphe ezimhlophe ezungeze intamo yayo nezinsimbi ezimhlophe ezibanzi emaphikweni ayo, ikakhulukazi eshiwo ngabesilisa. Izimpaphe azikho njalo ekhanda neningi lentamo, kanti nezindawo zesikhumba ezingenalutho kule ndawo zivame ukuba nezithunzi ezisuka kupinki ophuzi zibe nsundu ngokubomvu, yize zingaguqula umbala wazo kuye ngesimo sale nyoni. Abesilisa be-Condor bahlukaniswa ngokuba khona “kwamakati” entanyeni ne-redst enkulu ebomvu emnyama, noma ukukhula okunamahlandle, ku-waxwort. Abesilisa bakhulu kakhulu kunabesifazane, okuthi ngemvelo kungatholakali phakathi kwezinyoni ezidla inyama.
I-condor idla kakhulu ku-carrion. Kuthandwa kakhulu izidumbu zezilwane ezinkulu ezifile, ezinjengezinyamazane, i-guanaco noma izinkomo. Ifinyelela ekukhulelweni kweminyaka yobudala engama-5-6, imvamisa izidleke endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-3000-5000 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle - imvamisa emadwaleni anamadwala. I-Clutch, njengomthetho, iqukethe iqanda elilodwa noma amabili. Lesi ngesinye sezikhulu zamakhulu eminyaka emhlabeni phakathi kwezinyoni: ubude besikhathi sokuphila kwabo bungafinyelela eminyakeni engama-50.
I-Andean Condor iwuphawu lukazwelonke lwamazwe amaningana aseLatin America - i-Argentina, iBolivia, iChile, iColombia, i-Ecuador nePeru, futhi idlala indima enkulu emasikweni ama-Andes. Kodwa-ke, ngekhulu lama-20, inani labantu bakhona lehla kakhulu, futhi ngenxa yalokho labhalwa ku-International Red Book njengohlobo olusondele ekubeni yiqembu elisongelwe (isigaba se-NT). Izimbangela eziphambili zokucekelwa phansi okubizwa ngokuthi yizici ezingama-anthropological - izindawo eziguqukayo ezifanele ukuhlala, nobuthi yizidumbu zezilwane ezidutshulwe ngumuntu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuze kube muva nje, izinyoni zachithwa ngamabomu ngenxa yombono oyiphutha mayelana nokusongela kwazo ezilwaneni ezifuywayo. Njengamanje, amazwe amaningi anezinhlelo zokuzala zama-zoo nokusatshalaliswa kwawo endle.
Umnotho
I-Andean Condor yaqala wachazwa ngumsunguli wezinhlelo zesayensi yezinto eziphilayo, uKarl Linnaeus, ngo-1758, ngohlelo lweshumi lohlelo lwayo lweNdalo. Ngokwesimo esifanayo, wanikezwa igama lesiLatini elithi binomial Vultur gryphus, esetshenziswa ezincwadini zesayensi kuze kube manje. Ngokusho kwegama lamazwe ahlala kulo, kwesinye isikhathi libizwa nangokuthi i-Argentina, iBolivia, iChile, iColombian, i-Ecuadorian noma iPeruvia. Igama elejwayelekile I-Vultur (imvelaphi i-vultur noma voltur) elihunyushwe lisuka kwisiLatini lisho "i-vurb", "voul". IZwi gryphus ubolekwe ku-Dr. γρυπός "ngokhozi noma ikhala eligobile, elinamahloni." Igama elithi "condor", elizwakala lifana ngazo zonke izilimi zesimanje zase-Europe, libuyelwe olimini lwesiQecechua, olukhulunywa ngabahlali abaningi baseNingizimu Melika.
Isikhundla esiqondile sokuhleleka kwe-Andean condor njengamanje sithathwa njengokungaqondakali ngokuphelele. Kukhona ukuvumelana ngokuthi kungumndeni womndeni wama-vanves aseMelika (cathartids), okuthi ngaphandle kwale nyoni kufaka ezinye izinhlobo eziyisithupha zanamuhla. Yize zonke lezi zinhlobo zinezimpawu ezi-morphological ezijwayelekile kanye niche efanayo yezemvelo nama-vanity e-Old World, azona izihlobo ezisondelene, ngoba zavela emadlozini ahlukahlukene futhi ngokuzimele zivela ezingxenyeni ezihlukile zomhlaba. Izinga lobudlelwano phakathi kwale mindeni emibili yezinyoni ezifanayo luseyindaba yezingxoxo zesayensi; muva nje, abanye odokotela be-ornithologists abasuselwa emiphumeleni yezifundo zamangqamuzana baphethe ngokuthi izingwamza ziyizihlobo eziseduzane zamaqhubu aseMelika, ngaleyo ndlela zifaka phakathi kwazo i-ciconiiformes. Phambilini abacwaningi bathi ama-cathartid, kanye namaqhubu e-Old World, ama-falconiformes. Ekugcineni, abanye abacwaningi baveze ukuthi bangamalungu ahlukile ahlukile abizwa Cathartiformes . IKomidi LaseNingizimu Melika Lokuhlukanisa IKomidi Likahulumeni LaseNingizimu Melika ) ayinamathele kunoma yiliphi iphuzu lokubuka elithile, futhi icabanga ukuthi isimo sawo asikho njengamanje, i-Incertae sedis, noma ngokuzayo izovumela ubulungu bayo kuyunithi Ama-Falconiformes noma Cathartiformes .
Andean Condor - ukuphela kwezinhlobo ezisindayo kuze kube manje I-Vultur (ngaphambilini, iCalifornia Condor [Ama-Gymnogyps californianus]). Ngokungafani nomakhelwane bayo baseNyakatho Melika, abafundwe kahle ngezinsalela eziningi zezinto eziphilayo, ubufakazi bemivubukulo bokuba khona kwasekuqaleni kwe-Andean condor noma ukhokho wayo buyindlala kakhulu. Ngokususelwa emafosheni amancane ambalwa atholakala esifundazweni saseBolivian eTarija, kukholakala ukuthi inyoni eyayihlala ezwekazini laseNingizimu Melika ngesikhathi sePliocene noma i-Pleistocene epoch ifana ne-Andean condor yamanje, yize incane ngosayizi (ngenxa yalesi sizathu eyaziwa njengendawo engapheli Vultur gryphus patruus) .
Incazelo
I-Andean Condor iyinyoni enkulu kunazo zonke ezindizayo eWestern Hemisphere, yize ubude bayo buqhamuka emsileni bufushane ngamasentimitha angama-5 kunawaseCalifornia Condor, ngokwe-mappan (274-310 cm), iphakeme kakhulu kunesihlobo sayo esiseduze kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isinda ngokwengeziwe - isisindo sabesilisa sifinyelela ku-11-15 kg, izinsikazi - kg ezingama-7.5-11. Ubude bezinyoni ezindala buyahlukahluka kusuka ku-117 kuya ku-135 cm. Kuliqiniso, kufanele kukhunjulwe ukuthi izilinganiso zenziwa ikakhulukazi ezinyoni ezithunjiwe.
Umbala we-conductor uhlukile futhi uyabonakala. I-plumage icishe ibe mnyama ngokuphelele, ngaphandle kwekhola emhlophe e-fluffy emhlophe entanjeni kanye nezinsimbi ezimhlophe ezibanzi emaphikweni asezindongeni ezishayayo, ikakhulukazi okukhulunywa ngayo emadodeni (izimpaphe ezimhlophe zivele kuphela ngemuva kwe-molt yokuqala). Izimpaphe zicishe zingabikho ekhanda nasemphinjeni, isikhumba kule ndawo sinezimithunzi ukusuka kumbala opinki kuya kokubomvu okububende noku nsundu. Izinyoni zihlala zinakekela amakhanda azo, ziwahlanza ezimpaphe. Bakholelwa ukuthi izimpandla zabo ukuzivumelanisa nenhlanzeko, njengomphumela wokuthi isikhumba sihlanzwe kangcono yimisebe ye-ultraviolet nokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni ezindaweni eziphakeme kakhulu. Ingxenye engenhla yekhanda ithambile kancane. Emadodeni, ikhanda lihlotshiswe ngesikhumba esikhulu esinemnyama ebomvu, isikhumba entanyeni siguqulwe ngokuqinile, sakha “amakati”. Izindawo ezivulekile zesikhumba ekhanda nasentanyeni kubukeka shintsha umbala wazo (ziphenduke zibomvu noma ziphuzi) lapho inyoni ijabule - lesi sici sisebenza njengophawu olufanele kwabanye abantu. Uqhwaku lude, lunamandla, luboshwe ekugcineni, lumnyama ngenhla ophuzi, lufanele kahle ukuklebhula inyama eyonakalisiwe. Ngomkhala, i-septum yamathambo ayihlukanisiwe. I-iris yamehlo emadodeni in nsundu, kwabesifazane kubomvu garnet. Akukho mehlo. Ezinyoni ezincane, iplamu linombala onsundu, isikhumba ekhanda nentamo simnyama, sicishe saba mnyama, kanti “ikhola” sinsundu.
Imilenze imnyama grey. Umunwe ophakathi unwetshwa ngokubonakalayo, kanti umunwe wangemuva mncane kakhulu futhi utholakala ngaphezu kolunye. Amacala aqondile futhi awona bukhali - ukwakheka okunjalo akuvumeli izinyoni ukuba zibambe futhi zikhulise inyamazane, futhi futhi zisebenzisa i-paws njengesikhali, njengoba kunjalo nangezinye izinyoni ezidla inyama noma izidwaba zoMhlaba Omdala.
Ukubhebhetheka
I-Andean condor ijwayelekile ezintabeni zase-Andes entshonalanga yeSouth America. Umngcele osenyakatho webanga udlula eVenezuela naseColombia, kodwa kulezi zindawo uyinyoni engavamile kakhulu. Ngaseningizimu, indawo esatshalaliswa ngayo idlula ezindaweni zezintaba ze-Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia neWestern Argentina kuze kufike eTierra del Fuego. Engxenyeni esenyakatho yebanga, ama-condors ahlala ikakhulu endaweni engenhla yezintaba, endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-3000-5000 ngaphezu kolwandle, kuthi engxenyeni eseningizimu atholakala emaphethelweni nasemahlathini. Ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19, indawo yokusatshalaliswa kwama-condors yayibanzi kakhulu futhi ithatha lonke uhla lwezintaba, kusukela engxenyeni esentshonalanga yeVenezuela futhi iphetha ngensika yeningizimu yezwe, nokho, muva nje iye yancipha kakhulu ngenxa yemisebenzi yabantu. Izindawo ezihlala kuzo zihlanganisa iziqongo ze-alpine endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angama-5000 ngaphezu kwezindawo zolwandle nezindawo ezinkulu ezivulekile, zigcotshwe ngotshani futhi zilungele ukubukwa zivela ekuphakameni okukhulu. Isibonelo sezindawo ezinjalo yi-paramo - iplata elingenathemba e-Andes. Kwesinye isikhathi izinyoni zindizela ngengozi emathafeni asempumalanga yeBolivia naseningizimu-ntshonalanga yeBrazil, futhi zehle futhi ziye esifundeni sasehlane saseChile nasePeru kanye namahlathi e-beech asePatagonia.
I-ecology nokuziphatha
Ama-Condors abukeka ephakeme ngokubabazekayo esibhakabhakeni, andiza kahle emibuthanweni ekhuphuka yemifudlana yomoya ofudumele. Ngasikhathi sinye, zigcina amaphiko azo endizeni enezingqimba, futhi iziphetho zamaphiko asezindongeni eziyinhloko zisakazeka kabanzi futhi zigobeke kancanyana phezulu. Iqiniso lokuthi ama-condors ayizinyoni ezikhuphuka kakhulu lifakazelwa yizici zesakhiwo sawo se-anatomical - i-sternum encane futhi, ngenxa yalokho, izicubu zomzimba ezibuthakathaka, ezidingekayo ezindizeni ezisebenzayo. Njengoba sesithole ukuphakama, ama-condors akuvamile ukwenza amaphiko okushayela, esebenzisa amandla ezinsimbi zomoya bese ngokwenza lokho asindisa ezawo. Umsunguli wemibono yesimanje yokuziphendukela kwemvelo, uCharles Darwin, obuke ukwenyuka kwalezi zinyoni ePatagonia, waphawula ukuthi isigamu sehora abakubonanga ngaso. Izinyoni ziphinde zikhethe ukuphumula endaweni ephakeme endaweni enamadwala, lapho kufaneleka khona ukugxuma ngaphandle kokundiza phezulu. Ngokuphambene nalokho, bavuka emhlabathini kanzima futhi bebaleka kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokudla okuningi.
Njengamanye amabala aseMelika, ama-Andean condors anomkhuba ongajwayelekile wezinye izinyoni ukuba zihlukane ngezinyawo zawo - umchamo ofinyelela esikhunjeni uyaphuma futhi ngaleyo ndlela usiza ukupholisa umzimba. Ngenxa yalokhu kuziphatha, imilenze yezinyoni ihlala ihlanganiswa nemisipha emhlophe ye-uric acid.
Umsoco
Isisekelo sokudla kwe-Andean condor yizidumbu zezilwane eziwile, i-carrion. Uma zifuna ukudla, izinyoni zivame ukuhamba amabanga amade, zindiza zize zifike kumakhilomitha angama-200 ngosuku. Kude nolwandle, zithanda izinsalela zezilwane ezinkulu ezingabumbi ezinjengezinyamazane, i-guanaco, izinkomo ezife ngokufa kwemvelo noma eziklinywe yigwayi.Ogwini, badla izidumbu zezilwane ezincelisayo zasolwandle eziphonswa ogwini. Ngokungezelela kwe-carrion, futhi zibhubhisa izidleke zezinyoni zamakholoni, zizondla ngamaqanda azo futhi zihlasele namachwane. Ugu lusebenza njengomthombo wokudla ohlala njalo futhi othembekile - ngenxa yalesi sizathu, amakhambi amaningi ahlala ezindaweni ezincane kuphela amakhilomitha ambalwa ogwini lolwandle. Lapho zifuna ukudla, izinyoni ikakhulukazi zisebenzisa ukubona kwazo okuhle. Ngaphezu kokufuna inyamazane, ziqapha ngokucophelela ezinye izinyoni eziseduzane - amagwababa nezinye izimbungulu zaseMelika - umdanso we-turkey, ikati elikhulu nelincane elinamakhanda aphuzi. Ama-Condors anokugcina asungule indlela ebizwa ngokuthi yi-Symbiosis, noma ekhona enenzuzo: i-cathartes inomqondo othambile kakhulu wokuhogela, okwaziyo ukuhogela kude nokuhogela iphunga le-ethyl mercaptan - igesi ekhishwe esigabeni sokuqala sokubola, kepha usayizi wabo omncane awukuvumeli ukwephula isikhumba esiqinile sezisulu ezinkulu ngempumelelo ngokusemandleni Andean condors. Izilimo zingahle zingadli izinsuku eziningi zilandelana, bese zidla amakhilogremu amaningi ngasikhathi sinye, kwesinye isikhathi ngemuva kokudla okunenhliziyo ziyehluleka ngisho nokuziyisa emoyeni. Njengoba ukwakheka kwemilenze ye-condor kungabavumeli ukuba bathathe futhi badlulise inyamazane, izinyoni ziyaphoqeleka ukuba zizondle endaweni efanayo lapho zazithole khona. Njengamanye ama-scavenger, ama-condors adlala indima ebalulekile ekulinganiseni kwesistimu yezemvelo, anciphisa ingozi yokutheleleka. Kulezo zindawo lapho inani labo lehlile kakhulu, ukushona kwemfuyo kwanda futhi nezifo eziyingozi kubantu zaqala ukuvela.
Ukuzala
Ukuthomba kumakhondoni amancane kufika sekwephuze kakhulu ezinyoni - eneminyaka emihlanu noma eyisithupha. Baphila isikhathi eside - kuze kube yiminyaka engama-50, futhi bagcina umbhangqwana empilweni yabo yonke. Ngesikhathi sokuphola, isikhumba ekhanda leziduna siyajuluka futhi siguqule umbala waso kusuka ku-pink ophuzi kube ophuzi okhanyayo. Lapho esondela kowesifazane, uyakhukhumala futhi welule intamo yakhe, athulule isifuba sakhe nezwi lakhe. Ngemuva kwalokhu, usakaza amaphiko akhe futhi kulesi sikhundla ume phambi kowesifazane, eshaya ulimi.
Okunye ukwenza ngokwesiko uhlobo lomdanso, lapho inyoni ishaya ngamaphiko ayo evulekile ngokwengxenye, imisindo nokukhukhumala. Njengomthetho, ama-condors akhetha ukuhlala esidlekeni esiphezulu sezintaba, endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-3000-5000 ngaphezu kolwandle. Isidleke sivame ukutholakala edwaleni endaweni enamatshe angenakufinyeleleka, futhi njengoba umthetho uqukethe udoti omncane wamahlumela. Ngasogwini lwePeru, lapho kukhona kuphela amadwala ngamanye, amaqanda ngokuvamile abekwa nje ngaphandle kokubekwa emigodini ephakathi kwezihlahla ezishiyelwe emithambekeni. Izinyoni zivame ukuzala njalo ngemuva kweminyaka emibili, ngoFebhuwari-Mashi, ama-clutch aqukethe amaqanda ama-blish amhlophe noma anombala omhlophe onesisindo esingama-280 g nobude obungu-75-100 mm. Isikhathi sokufuduka yizinsuku ezingama-54-58, bobabili abazali bazishonisa. Uma ngesizathu esithile iqanda lilahleka, insikazi iyashesha ukubeka elinye endaweni efanayo. Lokhu kuziphatha kuvame ukusetshenziswa ngabasebenza ngama-ornithologists abasebenza ngokuzalanisa izinyoni - ukususwa kanye nokufakwa kamuva kwamaqanda okufakelwa kufaka isandla ezingeni eliphakeme lokuzala.
Amachwane aminyene ambozwe ngegrey fluff obukhulu futhi agcine ingubo enjalo aze akhule aze abe ngosayizi bezinyoni ezindala. Kwabonakala ukuthi amaphuphu athatha abazali noma yini abayibone ngokushesha nje ngemuva kokuzalwa, futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu kuvumela ukuthi ukuzalanisa kuthunjwa kufake i-mannequin yepulasitiki ye-condor yabantu abadala eduze kwesidleke - ngokuzayo lokhu kuzomsiza ukuthi azivumelanise ngokushesha endle. Bobabili abazali bazibophezele ekondleni amantshontsho, bakuhlwitha ukudla okugayiwe okuncane kusuka ngomlomo kuya koshoko. Amandla okundiza avela kumachwane eneminyaka eyi-izinyanga eziyisithupha, kepha eminye iminyaka emibili (kuze kufike isikhathi sokuzalelwa okulandelayo) bahlala nabazali babo. Amaqembu amakhulu ama-condors anesakhiwo somphakathi esithuthukisiwe lapho izinyoni ezindala, njengomthetho, zibusa abancane, nabesilisa abesilisa.
