Igama elithi meerkat lisuselwa kwigama lesistimu yezinhlobo iSuricata suricatta. Ngolimi lwaseRussia, ukusetshenziswa kwaleli gama kowesifazane kuvunyelwe: i-meerkat. Kusetshenziswa igama lesibili lesilwane: i-myrrhcat enomsila omuhle. Le nketho ihambelana negama ngesiBhulu.

AmaMerkats anesidlaliso esingajwayelekile. Indaba yokubonakala kwakhe ihlotshaniswa nothando lwezilwane ukuma ikholamu. Uma izinwele ezihlanganisiwe zigqanyiswa yilanga, kunohlobo lwe-areola olusungulwe emzimbeni wonke. Ngoba ngazo zibizwa ngokuthi izingelosi zelanga.

Buka futhi ndoda

AmaMerkats ayizidalwa ezincane ezinhle ngokumangazayo ezibangela ukumamatheka. Abantu base-Afrika banezinkolelo ezimbili ezihambisana nama-meerkat. Ngokuhambisana nenye yazo, izilwane zibizwa ngokuthi yizingelosi zelanga. Futhi hhayi ngoba bathanda ukucwilisa ilanga lase-Afrika ekuseni. Kukholakala ukuthi zivikela izindawo zokuhlala nezinkomo kusuka enyangeni werewolves, ezihlasela abantu nezilwane (mhlawumbe amalulwane asendimeni yamadimoni enyanga). Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlalisa eduze kwezindawo ezifuywayo, ama-meerkats asusa indawo yofezela kanye nezinyoka ezinobuthi, ezidliwayo. Ama-Meerkats ayathanjiswa kalula, futhi ngezinye izikhathi abantu bendawo baqala izindlu zabo ukuvikela amakhaya abo ezilwaneni ezinobuthi.

Ngokwenye inganekwane, imiphefumulo yabafi yathuthela eMerkat, yingakho lezi zilwane zinomusa omkhulu kubantu. Isilwane esihloliwe singama emilenzeni yaso yasemuva isikhathi eside, futhi sisuka kude neqembu lezilwane eliqaphile imisindo yasogwadule lingahle lithathwe abesilisa abancane abanesizungu. Kulokhu kwesinye isikhathi babizwa ngokuthi "abantu abancane." Futhi sibonga ukuphaphama okukhonjiswe ngumndeni we-meerkat, bathola esinye isidlaliso sothando: "u-sendinel desert."

Isimilo

AmaMerkats angabameleli abancane bezinhlobo zama-mongoose. Ungabona nokufana okuthile nge thambisa - umzimba ophakeme.

Izinsikazi zivame ukuba zikhulu kunezabesilisa, kanti ukubusa kwezingane kubusa emndenini walezi zilwane.

Umgomo oyinhloko wokuba khona kwephakethe yi-collectivism - ukuzingela izilwane, ukudla, ukuphumula ndawonye.

Ngemizamo ejwayelekile, ama-meerkats, anesithombe esibonisa ukumamatheka ngokungazenzisi, angenza imisebenzi ebucayi yezempi.

Umhlambi walezi zilwane ezinhle uzingela ngempumelelo izinyamazane, zikhulu ngosayizi.

Yize ama-meykak, njengama-mongooses, azi ukuthi angalwa kanjani nezinyoka, afake izithiyo zakhe ngokungafanele, ama-fluffies awakhombisi intshiseko enkulu ekuzingeleni lezi ezihuquzelayo.

Bancamela ukubamba inyamazane encane noma ephephe.

Umgomo oyinhloko wokuba khona kwephakethe yi-collectivism - ukuzingela izilwane, ukudla, ukuphumula ndawonye. Ngemizamo ehlangene, ama-meerkats angenza imisebenzi ebucayi yezempi

Ukubukeka kanye ne-morphology

Izilwane ezincane ezinomusa, ezincane kunazo zonke ku-subfamily mongoose: ubude bazo bungamasentimitha angama-50-60 kuphela, cishe nengxenye ewela emsileni, futhi isisindo sabantu abakhulu kuphela abafinyelela ku-1 kg. Izinsikazi zikhulu kancanyana kunabesilisa. Ukusuka kwamanye ama-mongooses, ama-meykats ahlukaniswa imilenze ephakeme, i-paws ezinezinyawo ezine, umsila oqinile, ofakwe yonke indawo ngobude bezinwele ezinde nokungabikho kwezinyo lokuqala lempande yamanga. Imilenze yalesi silwane inezimpawu ezinhle kakhulu: ihlome ngezihlakala ezinde futhi eziqinile, okuthi ikakhulukazi ezintanjeni zangaphambili, zithole ukuthuthukiswa okunjengalikho elinye ilungu lomndeni. Ngosizo lwalezipele ezinamandla, i-meerkat igaya kalula izindinyana ezijulile, ikhiphe ukudla futhi ihlomise indawo yokuhlala.

U-Meerkat fur ubumbala obomvu, onsundu ngombala onsundu, umaqondana nalokhu ngemuva kusuka emuva kuyimivimbo emnyama eyisishiyagalombili kuya kweyishumi engenalo uhlaka olucacile. Emilenzeni ijazi ligqamile, esiswini nasesifubeni kuyabukeka, kushubhu, izindebe, isilevu nezihlathi kubamhlophe, ichopho lesibaya, indandatho izungeze amehlo, izindlebe nesihloko somsila kumnyama. Amehlo anophayiphu omkhulu oyindilinga kanye ne-brown isiliva grey iris.

AmaMerkats anomqondo omnandi kakhulu wephunga, okudingekile ukusesha izinambuzane ezimba esihlabathini ziye ekujuleni okukhulu, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sesomiso. Ama-vibrissae amade ebusweni abasiza ukuba bakwazi ukuhamba emhubheni omnyama wezimbobo.

Izilwane zinamehlo abukhali, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuqaphela inyamazane ikude. Imibuthano emnyama ezungeze amehlo ibamba i-ultraviolet eyeqile, ukuze ama-meykats abukeke cishe elangeni. Zinezinkophe zesithathu ezikhule ngokuqinile, ezivikela ngokuphepha amehlo esihlabathini.

Bazingela i-scorpion, ibadlela ndawonye ngendlala enobuthi.

Izici nendawo yokuhlala

I-Meerkat (kusuka kwi-Latin Suricata suricatta) noma imure enhle enomsila - isilwane esincanyana esivela emiyalweni yabazingeli bomndeni wama-mongoose.

Sincane kunazo zonke ngosayizi wezilwane kuwo wonke umndeni wakwa-mongoose, onezinhlobo ezingama-35. Ubude bomzimba wabo kuyaqabukela lifinyelela amasentimitha angama-35, enesisindo esifinyelela kuma-750 amagremu. Umsila wombala obomvu onesiqeshana esimnyama ubude bude bezilinganiso ezinjalo zomzimba - kuze kufike ku-20-25 cm.

Ikhanda lincane ngezindlebe eziyindilinga lifaka umqhele onsundu omnyama, futhi kwesinye isikhathi ngisho nombala omnyama. Imikhondo yamehlo inombala omnyama maqondana nawo wonke umzimba, ifana nezibuko, okwenza i-meerkat iyahlekisa.

Umbala wezinwele ezinde ezithambile kulesidumbu salomhlaseli ubomvu grey, kwesinye isikhathi asondele kolwolintshi. Inemilenze emincane emine, imilenze yangaphambili inezinqe ezinde. Njengawo wonke ama-mongooses, ama-meya angakhipha imfihlo yokungcola etholakala emgodini we-inguinal.

Ososayensi bahlukanisa lezi zilwane ezihlokweni ezintathu:

• Suricata suricatta suricatta
• Suricata suricatta marjoriae
• Suricata suricatta iona

Habitat Meerkats wezilwane kusatshalaliswa ezwekazini lase-Afrika eningizimu yekhwetha. Bahlala endaweni eshisayo neyomile ezindaweni eziwugwadule nezindawo eziseduze nabo.

Ukudla okunempilo nokudla okuphakelayo

AmaMerkats angabazidli, futhi ukudla kwawo okuyinhloko izinambuzane namanye ama-invertebrates. Ngobumnandi badla izibungu, namaqanda ezinyoni, namagundane amancane, namawundlu awo. Ikhono elihlukile lama-meerkats ukudla izilwane ezinobuthi obungabulala ngisho nabantu yaziwa kabanzi. Bazingela ngempumelelo ama-scorpion, bezidlela ndawonye ngendlala enobuthi. Ezinye izinyoka ezinobuthi nazo ngeke zikwazi ukuzivikela emameleni, yize ama-cobras amakhulu ebeka ingozi yezilwane ezilwaneni. AmaMerkats awaphuzi ngokweqile, eneliswa umswakama oqukethwe feed.

Ama-Meerkats ane-metabolism ebukhali kakhulu: ngobusuku bashisa amakhalori amaningi futhi alahlekelwa cishe yi-5% yesisindo somzimba wawo, ngakho-ke adla kakhulu izilwane. Abaphenyi bathola ukuthi i-meerkat endala idla isilinganiso sezinto ezingama-30 zokudla kungakapheli ihora lokudla.

Ehlobo, ngenkathi yezimvula, ama-meykimu awanakho ukusweleka kokudla: umhlaba uzele yizinambuzane ezinwabuzelayo ebusweni, futhi uma bemba, bazobe bajule ngokujulile. Ngakho-ke, izilwane azidingi ukuhambisa kude nomgodi, futhi zizingela eduze kwendlu. I-meerkat ngayinye ithola ukudla kwayo, abantu abadala ababelani izinyamazane zabo, kepha izingane ziindaba ezihlukile. Izingane ziqala ukuphelezela abantu abadala ekuzingeleni zisenonyaka owodwa, futhi wonke amalungu omndeni abondla. Ekuqaleni, ama-meerkats amadala anika amawundla ukunambitheka kwezibungu ezithambile, kancane kancane awafundise ukuzingela ama-invertebrates amakhulu, kufaka phakathi noofezela, kanye nama-vertebrates.

Ngesikhathi sokudla, elinye lamalungu eqembu kufanele "lime ngewashi" ukuze libone indlela yomdlwenguli ngesikhathi. Ukuze ube nombono ongcono, ama-mehendi akhuphuka amatshe, iziqu ngisho nezihlahlana, futhi angakwazi ukulinganisela emagatsheni amancanyana, emi ngezinyawo zawo ezingemuva. Lapho ingozi isondela (umhlaseli noma elinye iqembu lama-meerkats), umbukeli wazisa lonke iqembu ngalo ngesiginali ekhethekile.

Ngokuqala kwesizini eyomile, iba nzima ngokwengeziwe kuma-mechkat ukuthola ukudla okufihla okujulile ngaphansi komhlaba. Kufanele bashiye umgodi amabanga amade - amakhilomitha angama-2-3 noma ngaphezulu, bavame ukuhlasela indawo yomakhelwane. Ubudlelwano phakathi kwezilwane ekuzondleni ziba ziqinile - zingathatha ukudla komunye nomunye futhi ngisho nakumawundlu. Lokhu kuziphatha kuphawuleka ikakhulukazi kowesifazane ovelele uma ekhulelwe. Kungalesi sikhathi sonyaka lapho kufe khona izilwane ezizodwa, eziphoqelelwa ukuba zithungathe kanyekanye ukudla, zibhekele abadla ezinye futhi zigweme ukuhlangana nabafowethu abanolaka.

Ukukhulisa izilwane ezincane

Emndenini we-meerkat, “nannies,” i.e. zonke izingane zigadwe ngabadala abathathu kuya kwabathathu, kuyilapho wonke umndeni uzingela. Ngemuva kokuba izingane zikhulile kancane, zidluliselwa "kothisha" - amerkats, azifundise ukuzingela kanye namanye amakhono adingekayo.

Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ngowesifazane kuphela ovelele owaletha inzalo emndenini, ngaphandle kwalokho kungenziwa uma umndeni mncane futhi kunokuntuleka okucacile kwezilwane ezisencane. Kuzo zonke ezinye izimo, insikazi ebilinge ukuletha leli wundlu ingaxoshwa emndenini noma ibulale izingane zayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izingxabano zabesifazane ngqo ngesikhathi "sokubulawa", phakathi kwabo izimpi ezinzima zingavela. Kodwa lapho nje insikazi ye-alpha idedelwa umthwalo, ingahle ishiye amazinyane ayo ngokuthula nalowo inzalo yakhe asanda kuyibulala noma inkulise ngokuthula izingane zimbangi yayo. Lokhu kubonwa kuphela ezinkulungwaneni ze-meerkat.

Umsebenzi

AmaMerkats ayizilwane ezigayayo: ahlala ubusuku emiseleni, eqaqa ndawonye futhi azifudumeza ngokushisa okuhlangene. Ngemuva kokuphuma kwelanga, izilwane ziyavela ebusweni futhi zithathwa ukuze zihlanze indlu. Inhlabathi ethe xaxa iyaphonswa, iminyango engena emgodini ihlanziwe futhi inwetshwe. Ngaphezu kokuhlanza, inqubo yokuphoqelela yasekuseni iyashiswa yilanga. AmaMerkats emi emilenzeni yawo yangasemuva, aphendukisa amakhanda awo ebheke elangeni futhi ame, ahamba emisebeni yalo. Isikhumba esiswini sabo simnyama futhi ijazi lincane, ngakho-ke bafudumala ngokushesha. Ngemuva kwenqubo yasekuseni, wonke umndeni uya ukondla. Uma indawo lapho ama-meerkats feed akude kakhulu nomgodi, abuyela kuwo kusihlwa kuphela, aphumula phakathi komthunzi emithini noma endaweni yokukhosela yesikhashana eduze kwendawo yokudla. Lapho okuphakelayo sekwanele eduze kwendlu, isikhathi sasemini senzeka emgodini wendabuko.

Habitat, indawo yokuhlala

Indawo yokuhlala iseningizimu yezwekazi lase-Afrika: iNamibia, iNingizimu Afrika, iBotswana, i-Angola, neLesotho. Imvamisa Meerkats ajwayelekile ogwadule lwaseKalahari naseNamib. Bahlala emazweni avulekile impela, ugwadule, olungenazhlahla nezihlahla. Uncamela amathafa avulekile, ama-savannas, i-terrain enomhlaba onzima. Indawo enjalo ilungele kangcono ukwakhiwa kwezimbobo zomhubhe kanye nokufuna ukudla.

Emuva kokuqukethwe

Ukuziphatha komphakathi

Kuze kube muva nje, ama-mechk acwaningwe kabi kakhulu, nokho ukubonwa isikhathi eside kwezilwane ezilebula zodwa eningizimu ye-Afrika kusetshenziswa izindlela zanamuhla zokucwaninga kwenze kwaba nokwenzeka ukwazi lezi zilwane kangcono.

Isakhiwo esiyisisekelo sabantu base-meerkat siwumndeni lapho ukubusa okuqinile kubusa khona. Owesifazane wonke ulawula impilo yonke yomndeni: ukhetha umgodi lapho umndeni uzohlala khona, indawo okondlayo, futhi, okubaluleke, kuphela unelungelo lokuzala amazinyane.

Owesilisa ovelele unqunywa ekuxhumaneni kwabesilisa nabesilisa, njengomthetho, nguyena owenza umbhangqwana nowesifazane oyinhloko aze abe nguyise wazo zonke izingane azalelwa zona. Lo mbhangqwana ungabusa iminyaka eminingana, futhi umndeni uyokhula ngenxa yenzalo yawo. Inani lezilwane emndenini livame ukufika kubantu abangama-30, amaqembu amancane e-meerkat asengozini kakhulu ezilwaneni ezidla lubi, futhi imindeni emikhulu (izilwane ezingaphezu kuka-40) ikuthola kunzima ukugcina ubunye.

Umndeni we-meerkat unephunga leqembu elithile, elitholakala ngokufaka umaki izilwane komunye nomunye. Amalungu eqembu enza konke ndawonye - ngasikhathi sinye bayondla futhi baphumule, banakekela izingane ngokubambisana futhi babambisane nezitha. Ngesikhathi sokudla, umndeni kufanele wakhe “abalindi,” ababheka ngokucophelela indawo ezungezile futhi baxwayise ngesikhathi sendlela yokuhlasela inyamazane. Izingane ezigcina izingane zinakekela izingane, hhayi abesifazane abasebasha kuphela, kodwa nabesilisa nazo zingasebenza njengenganono. Ukuzilolonga kubaluleke kakhulu emphakathini we-meerkat - izilwane azikhululeli nje kuphela kusuka ezimungwini, imibuthano yomndeni ngisho nangokwengeziwe ngomsebenzi onjalo.

Iqembu ngalinye le-meerkat linamathela endaweni ethile evikelwe. Ubungako bezindawo zemindeni ehlukene ehlala, isibonelo, eKalahari, ukusuka kumamitha-skwele ayi-1 kuye kwayi-3. km, ngalinye linezimbobo okungenani ezi-5 ezilungele impilo yomndeni. Umgodi, ikakhulukazi owembiwe enhlabathini ethambile, ungangena endaweni eyi-25 x 32 m, uyinethiwekhi eyinkimbinkimbi yamakhorali ahlanganisiwe anamakhamera futhi afinyelela kumakhulu okuphuma. Ngokwesilinganiso, nokho, imisele ibeka indawo eyi-5 x 5 m futhi ibe nokuphuma okungu-15. Ekujuleni komgodi hamba ngamamitha ayi-1.5-2, ngakho-ke izinga lokushisa elikulo lihlala lihlala njalo futhi lihlala kuluhlu lwama-22-25. Umndeni ungahlala emgodini ofanayo izinyanga eziningana, noma kunjalo, ukuphindaphindeka kwamazethi kanye nemikhaza kuphoqa izilwane ukuthi zishintshe ikhaya lazo njalo. Ukushintshwa komqando kuvame ukwenzeka ngaphambi kokuvela kwenzalo yowesifazane oyisikhulu, kuphela ezimweni ezihlukile iqembu elihamba lapho kukhona izingane emgqonyeni womshini. Lapho "kuthuthelwa eflethini elisha", amathole amadala aphathwa ngamazinyo ngamalungu emindeni yabantu abadala. Eduze kwezimbobo kumakwe ngokucophelela imfihlo yezindlala ezikhethekile.

Izingxabano zezwe ehlobo, lapho ukudla kuningi, kuyaqabukela kwenzeka. Imindeni ingondla ibanga lamamitha ambalwa ngaphandle kokuqaphela, noma ukunganaki. Emihlanganweni engxenyeni yomngcele, amaqembu anqunyelwe ekuhlanganyeleni komngcele wesiko.

Ngokuqala kobusika, okuphakelayo kuya ngokuya kuncipha, futhi imindeni yama-meerkat ingahlasela izindawo zabanye abantu. Lapho abalindi bebona abantu abangabazi, benza umsindo omkhulu kakhulu, futhi zonke izilwane zeqembu, ngemisila yazo ziphakamile futhi zonakalisa izinwele zabo, amahlombe ehlombe ukuvikela le ndawo. Ngemuva kwemizuzu embalwa yokuxabana, omunye umndeni uphuthuma kulokhu kuhlasela. Iqembu ngalinye lizizwa lizethemba ngokwengeziwe endaweni yalo, futhi izivakashi ezingamenywanga zivame ukundiza ngokushesha. Izimpi zamagazi azivamile ukwenzeka phakathi kwamaqembu azinzile ezinombolo ezilinganayo, kepha uma umndeni ukhule kakhulu ehlobo, ufuna ukwandisa insimu yawo. Ezimweni ezinjalo, ukulwa kungaba yingozi enkulu futhi kuholele ekufeni kwezilwane ezithile. AmaMerkats awazinikele kakhulu ekuvikeleni imisele yawo namawundlu akuwo, ngoba amawundlu asala ngemuva azobulawa ngabantu abangabazi.

Uma phakathi nenkathi yemvula kwenziwa amaqembu amaningi ama-meerkat, khona-ke ebusika ukwabiwa kabusha kwezindawo akunakugwenywa, okuzohambisana nezimpi ezinolaka.

Ihlala kuphi i-meerkat?

AmaMerkats ajwayelekile kuphela eningizimu ye-Afrika.

Zitholakala emazweni afana nalawa:

Lezi zilwane zivumelaniswa nesimo sezulu esishisayo esomile, sikwazi ukubekezelela izivunguvungu zothuli. Ngakho-ke, bahlala ogwadule nasezinsukwini eziyisithupha. Isibonelo, ama-meerkats atholakala ngamanani amakhulu ezindaweni ezisehlane laseNamib nasehlane laseKalahari.

Yize zingabizwa ngokuthi ama-Hardy, kepha ama-meykak akakakulungeli ngokuphelele ukubamba okubandayo, futhi akakwazi ukubekezelela amazinga okushisa aphansi. Lokhu kuhle ukukhumbula kubalandeli ukuthola isilwane esingajwayelekile ekhaya. E-Russia, kusiza ukuqapha ngokucophelela izimo zokushisa zasekhaya futhi ususe okubhaliwe ngempilo yesilwane.

AmaMerkats athanda inhlabathi eyomile, eyengeziwe noma engaphansi kakhulu, ukuze akwazi ukumba indawo yokukhosela. Imvamisa ineminyango eminingana engena futhi iphume futhi ivumela isilwane ukucasha ezitheni ekungeneni okukodwa, kanti ngenkathi inyamazane idwengula le ndawo, i-meerkat ibaleka ngenye indlela yokuphuma. Futhi, izilwane zingasebenzisa izimbobo zabanye abantu, ezimba ezinye izilwane bese zishiywe dengwane.Noma mane ucashe ngemisele yemvelo yemvelo.

Uma le ndawo iphethwe yisisekelo samatshe, izintaba, ukuphuma kwangaphandle, khona-ke ama-meerkats asebenzisa ngenkani emigedeni nasezinkalweni inhloso efanayo nemisele.

Ukuzala nokukhulisa inzalo

AmaMerkats afinyelela ebusheni eneminyaka engu-1 ubudala, kepha emvelweni aqala ukuzala kamuva. Inzuzo ephelele ekukhiqizweni ngowesifazane oyinhloko. Uma amawundlu avela kunoma yimuphi wamadodakazi akhe amadala, angawabulala, noma axoshe lowesifazane "onecala" eqenjini, noma alidlulisele kwelinye iqembu komunye umgodi, ashiye umama osanda kuzalwa enezingane.

Owesifazane uyakwazi ukukhiqiza inzalo kuze kube izikhathi ezine ngonyaka, kepha ezimweni eziningi kakhulu, ukuzala kuhlelwe kuze kufike ehlobo, enkathini yemvula futhi kuvela ngo-Okthoba kuya ku-Mashi. Njengomphumela wokukhulelwa, okuthatha izinsuku ezingama-70-77, kusuka ezinkulungwaneni ezi-2 kuya kwezi-5 ezinesisindo esingu-25-30 g.Emva kokondla izingane, umama uyahamba azingele neqembu lakhe, bese kuthi “ingane” ihlale nezingane, ezingazishiyi kuze kube ukubuya kwamanye amalungu eqembu. Izingane zidliswa ubisi hhayi ngumama kuphela, kodwa nezinye izintokazi zeqembu, futhi nakwamanye amakhehla afana nokuchazwa kwe-allolactation: ubisi luvela kubantu besifazane abathandekayo. Amehlo amawundlu avuleka ngezinsuku eziyi-10-14, kepha ashiya umgodi kuphela amaviki ama-3 emva kokuzalwa. Kwelinye isonto, elinye lamalungu eqembu lihlala nawo, kuthi lapho inenyanga eyodwa, izingane ziye zizingele nabantu abadala. Amalungu aphezulu eqembu awanikeza kuqala azame izibungu, bese kamuva aletha inyamazane enkulu kakhulu. AmaMerkats abonakala ngokufundisa abantu abasha: izingane azigcini ngokubheka ukuzingela, abadala babakhombisa ukuthi bakwenza kanjani. Ngasikhathi sinye, abantu abadala banquma izinga lokulungela kwengane ukubhekana nomuntu ohlukunyezwe imisindo yabo. Ukudla ubisi kuyaphela eminyakeni eyi-7-9 amasonto.

Ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingama-2-3 kuzelwe izingane, insikazi futhi isilungele ukuzala. Ngalesi sikhathi, owesilisa ovelele waleli qembu akasuki kuwo futhi uvikela ngokucophelela kwabanye abesilisa. Ehlobo, lapho kunokudla okuningi, abantu besilisa abakhula emaqenjini angomakhelwane bangazungeza umndeni okhulisayo, baheha izinsikazi, kodwa owesifazana oqavile angafika kubo “ngosuku”. Ngemuva kokuphola, lezi zinsikazi zibuyela emindenini yazo, kepha kwesinye isikhathi zihola izinsikazi bese kuba nomndeni omusha we-meerkat.

Izitha zemvelo zama-meerkats

Isithombe: Meerkat Cub

Usayizi omncane wezilwane ubenza babe izisulu zabazingeli abaningi. Emhlabathini, izimpungushe zidla ama-meerkats. Kusukela esibhakabhakeni basongelwa yizikhova zokhozi nezinye izinyoni ezidla inyama, ikakhulukazi izinkozi, ezidla hhayi kuphela kumawundlu amancane, kodwa nakuma-mecharkats amadala. Kwesinye isikhathi izinyoka ezinkulu zingakhamba ziye emiseleni yazo. Isibonelo, ikosi cobra iyakwazi ukujabulela hhayi imidlwane nje, kepha futhi icishe ibe nabantu abadala - labo ekwazi ukubhekana nayo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-meerkats akufanele alwe nabazingeli kuphela, kodwa futhi nezihlobo zawo. Eqinisweni, bona uqobo bayizitha zemvelo. Kukholelwa ukuthi imihlambi yamaMerkat idla ngokushesha ukudla okutholakalayo esifundeni futhi icekele phansi indawo abahlala kuyo. Futhi ngenxa yalokhu, imindeni iyaphoqeleka ukuba izulazule njalo isuka kwenye indawo iye kwenye.

Lokhu kuholela ezimpini zamaqembu phakathi kwendawo nangaphezulu kwesisekelo sokuphakelayo. Izimpi zezilwane ziyesabeka kakhulu, yonke yesihlanu yama-meerkat alwayo afela kuzo. Ngasikhathi sinye, izinsikazi zivikela imisele yazo ikakhulukazi ngonya, ngoba lapho kufa umndeni, izitha zivame ukubulala wonke amawundlu ngaphandle kokukhetha.

AmaMerkats angena ekulweni kuphela nabameli bohlobo lwawo. Ezinyamazaneni zizama ukucasha endaweni yokukhosela noma zibaleke. Lapho kuvela inyamazane emkhakheni wayo wokubona, lesi silwane sibika lokhu ezihlotsheni ngezwi ukuze wonke umhlambi usazi futhi ungaphephela.

Meerkats at the Zoo yaseMoscow

IMerkats yavela nathi ngoJulayi 2009, isifikile ivela eNingizimu Afrika. I-aviary elingisa imvelo yemvelo: isihlabathi, imisele, udriftwood ibilungiselelwe ngokukhethekile ukufika kwabo epulazini elithi "Ungulates of Africa". Esodongeni lwangemuva, kwavezwa indawo yendlela yase-savannah yase-Afrika ukuze izilwane zizizwe zisekhaya. Futhi "babonge" imizamo yabadwebi: baqala ukugxumela odongeni, njengokungathi bazama ukubalekela emazweni abo endabuko.

Izilwane eziyisishiyagalolunye zobusha zivela emindenini ehlukene. AmaMerkats anemithetho enzima angavumeli ukuthi abantu abangabazi babekezeleleke endaweni yabo, futhi ezinsukwini zokuqala nje le mithetho yaqala ukusebenza. Kwabulawa isilwane esisodwa, kwathi abanye ababili baxoshwa kuleli qembu. Kwakudingeka bamehlise ngokuphuthumayo, futhi yilapho kuphela lapho abanye beyehlise umoya baphilise ngekhaya labo. Owesifazane omkhulu nowesilisa oyinhloko babezimisele, futhi ngokushesha sabona ukuthi ukuphindiselwa kabusha kulindeleke eqenjini.

Izingane ezine zazalwa zikhulu futhi zinamandla, kepha umama wazo wayesemncane kakhulu (ngokwemvelo, izintokazi ezinonyaka owodwa ubudala azalimi), futhi umzimba wakhe awukwazanga ukumelana nazo. Amawundlu kwakudingeka ukuthi adle okokufakelwa. Ukondla izingane ezinesisindo sama-gramu angama-30 akuwona neze umsebenzi olula, kepha abasebenzi be-zoo banokuhlangenwe nakho okuningi, bebengomama abakhathalelayo ngisho nakuma-jumpers asanda kusinda anesisindo esingu-5. Meerkatiks awela ezandleni ezinamakhono futhi adlula ngokuphepha isikhathi sokunceliswa ubisi. Ekupheleni kukaNovemba, insikazi, eyayikade ixoshwe kuleli qembu, yatshalwa nezingane. Kwakunobungozi obukhulu obungahle bubonwe ngowesifazane ukuthi angabazi, bese izingane zingakhokha kulokhu kuhlolwa kwempilo. Kodwa-ke, sanquma ukuthatha ithuba, ngoba ukwakheka kokuziphatha okufanele kwezilwane ezincane kudinga ukuxhumana nabantu abadala bezinhlobo zabo. Ukwesaba kwethu kwagcina kungamampunge: isilwane esidala sasilangazelela ukuba yedwa kangangokuba sabheka ithuba lokuqala umndeni njengenenjabulo. Kepha izingane, ziseminyakeni emihlanu yamasonto, ekuqaleni zaqala ukuvikela le ndawo: ngemisila yazo iboshwe ihlombe nehlombe, iphikisana “nesitha”. Kodwa-ke, insikazi endala yakhetha iqhinga lokunganaki futhi, kuphela ihora, lapho amathole ehlisa umoya, walala eduze kwakhe futhi waqala ukubakhotha. Ngakho-ke sathola umndeni wesibili we-meerkat.

Futhi endaweni ebiyelwe kulokhu okutshelwayo, umndeni uyaqhubeka nokuphila kwawo: izilwane ziyadlala, zixubha uboya bazo komunye nomunye, ibhasikishi “elangeni”, bambe isihlabathi. Banokulala kosuku olufushane, futhi baya kwezindiza, nakanjani uzobona lezi zilwane ezihlekisayo. Bajonge kakhulu kangangokuba bangaphazamisa iholide labo ukubona ukuthi ngubani oza. Kodwa imisindo ephakeme ayiyikuthanda kwabo: ama-mehendi ayasaba, yize kukhona ingilazi enkulu ehlukanisa abantu. Kepha uma ume buthule ezindizeni, uzokuzwa ukuthi “bakhuluma” kanjani. Ekuthunjweni, izilwane azishintshi imikhuba yazo, zidinga ukuzwa njalo njalo.

Ngenkathi ebandayo, umndeni we-meerkat uhlala endaweni yokufudumala efudumele, lapho kuqala intwasahlobo, bavula indlela yokuhamba ngezimoto ezitaladini. Izilwane ziqala ukuphuma ziye elangeni, zihlolisise indawo ezungezile, kepha ubusuku obubandayo buhlala emgodini ofudumele. Futhi lapho kuphela umhlaba ufudumala, izimbuzane ziyahlala ngaphandle ehlobo lonke. Kwenzeka into efanayo ekwindla: ngokuqala kwesithwathwa, izilwane ziya kancane kancane ziye kwimbobo efudumele.

IMerkat idliswa izikhathi ezi-3 ngosuku. Ukudla kwabo kufaka ushizi we-cottage shizi, izigwaca namaqanda abo, inkukhu, kepha izilwane zinezilwane eziningi kakhulu lapho zibona izibungu zempuphu, izibungu zezinambuzane nezinambuzane. AmaMerkats abamba futhi awadle ngejubane lombani, kwesinye isikhathi axabane futhi axabane. Iklabishi lincamela imifino, nobhanana wezithelo. Lapho zigcwele, ziyangqongqozwa kanye, futhi, njengoba sezikhohliwe zonke izingxabano, ziyahlambulula.

Izici Key

Njengoba sekushiwo, ama-meerkats awathandi ikakhulukazi ukushesha aye empini, ukuzingela izilwane eziyingozi.

Ividiyo nokuchazwa kwalezi zilwane kukhombisa ukuthi ziqaphe kakhulu, ziphinde zingazami ukuzibeka engcupheni.

Bazingela nomndeni wonke, bahlanganisa wonke amasentimitha endawo yabo.

Ngenxa yalesi sici, izinsiza zokudla ziphela ngokushesha, kanti ama-meerkats kufanele azulazule aye kwenye indawo. Kepha akunandaba!

Izilwane zinakekela kusengaphambili ukuthi endaweni eyodwa nesigamu kuya kwamathathu amakhilomitha ezinto zawo kufanele kube nezimbobo ezingama-3-5, ezihlala zivame ukwanda, zikhula kancane ngenxa yokubonakala kwezilwane ezincane.

Noma yini umhlambi eyenzayo, ihlala iqaphe ababonisi aba-1 - 2, belula umzimba ngentambo ngisho nokubhekisisa ibanga.

Kuyathakazelisa! AmaMerkats angabona kahle, noma ngabe akhanya ngqo emehlweni elangeni. Ukuvikela ukuvimbela ukungaboni, zinenkophe yesithathu, ngakho-ke zihlala zithola ngokucacile ingozi esondela ezulwini.

Amanye ama-meyk asendaweni enamadwala, lapho ungeke ukwazi khona ukumbela indlu efanelekile.

Kulokhu, bafuna umhume noma inkemba efanelekayo abangazizwa bephephile kuyo.

Noma yini umhlambi eyenzayo, ihlala iqaphe ababonisi abango-1 - 2, belula umzimba ngentambo ngisho nokubhekisisa ibanga

Umndeni wezilwane ukhula kancane kancane, futhi ukuze ubondle ifa le-meerkat lidinga ukunwetshwa.

Lokhu kusho ukuthi kufanele sinqobe izindawo ezintsha ezivela ezizweni zakithi.

Ezimpini ezinjalo, iqembu elikhulu ekunqobeni lidlalwa ngokuthi umhlambi uhlangene kangakanani.

Izilwane ziba emugqeni obukhulu, ziphakamise imisila yazo bese zizama ukugxuma phezulu ngangokunokwenzeka.

Uma isitha singazange sibonge "ubukhulu benhlekelele", ama-meerkats aphuthuma empini.

Izilwane zisebenzisa amaqhinga anjalo kuphela uma zilwa nezinhlobo zazo.

Uma sikhuluma ngezisulu ezinkulu ezisongela usongo, kunendlela eyodwa kuphela yokuphuma - ukusebenzisa.

Kuyathakazelisa! Olimini lwama-meerkats kunezincazelo ezicacile zokuthi ingozi isondele futhi nokuthi iqhamuka kuphi - "umhlaba - umoya" noma "ukuqhubeka - eduze". Izingane ezingamaMerkat okokuqala zifundiswa ukubona umsindo “ngokuqhubekayo”, futhi kulapho kuphela ukuhlukanisa khona ukuthi inkinga ivelaphi.

inhloko yomndeni igada i-oda futhi iqaphe abasha

Ukuhlanzeka

Meerkat imvamisa idinga ukubhukuda. Uma umniniyo ekuhamba, kulokhu, isilwane kufanele sigeze ama-paws aso ngemuva kokuhamba ngakunye.

Njalo ngenyanga kufanele ugeze isilwane nge-shampoo engenalo ulaka lwezilwane. Ngale njongo isitsha sokugezela siyafaneleka. Ngesikhathi senqubo, kubalulekile ukuthi uqiniseke ukuthi amanzi awangeni ezindlebeni zesilwane.

Ama-Meerkats awabhukudi kahle, ngakho-ke akufanele awakhiphele ngaphandle komgqomo wamanzi ngale njongo.

Ngemuva kokugeza, sula isilwane ngethawula bese usishisa esomile. Yilapho-ke kuphela lapho ungavumela khona ukuthi usebenzise egudla ifulethi.

Amaqiniso athakazelayo ngokuqukethwe kwamaMerkats

• AmaMerkats afuna ukwazi kakhulu, ngakho-ke ayakuthokozela ukuxhumana nabantu. Ezinye izizwe zase-Afrika zaze zakwazi nokufuya lezi zilwane.
• Njalo ekuseni ngemuva kokushiswa yilanga, umndeni we-meerkat ushintshana ukhonkotha omunye komunye, njengokungathi uhalalisela wonke umuntu ekuqaleni kosuku olusha.
• Lezi zilwane zinolimi lwazo: abacwaningi ekuxhumaneni nama-meerkats babalwa imisindo engaphezulu kweshumi nambili.
• AmaMerkat agcina umlingiswa ojabule kuze kube yilapho esemdala. Bahlakaniphile futhi bathintana, okuvumela umnikazi kalula ukuthi athole ulimi olujwayelekile nabo. Ngasikhathi sinye, ama-meerkats awahambisani, awabekelwa umnikazi nabavakashi.
• Banobungane impela, benza imisindo ehlukahlukene, kuye ngesimo, kepha abakhali, abayizilwane ezinomsindo. Amandla okubhubhisa ama-mehendi angaphansi kakhulu kwenja noma ikati, ngakho-ke awakwazi "ukuguqula indlu".
• Bathanda ukukhuphuka ngemuva kusofa, ifenisha, lapho imincane futhi imnyama, bangabheka yonke into, bangakhuphuka engubeni evulekile futhi bahlale phakathi kwezingubo, ngeke balimaze lutho, kodwa bazophendula zonke izitaki zibheke phansi, ngakho-ke kungcono ukungakhohlwa ukuvala iminyango. Izinto azibhayi, zingaphangi, izintambo nazo.
• Akekho umuntu ongabeka esikhundleni se-meerkat nomndeni omkhulu, ongafinyelela kubantu abangama-40 endle.
• Kodwa-ke, ama-meerkats angakwazi ukuhlangana kalula nezinye izilwane ezifuywayo, njengekati nenja, uma leli kati noma inja ingenaso umlingiswa omubi.
• Meerkats akukubi, futhi uma izivakashi zifika efulethini, ngokuqinisekile bazohlangana nabo ngokubukeka okumangazayo. Bahlwitha izicathulo, izikhwama nakho konke okubonakala endaweni yabo, kepha ngeke bakhombise noma yiluphi udlame.
• Kuyiqiniso, kungcono ukuqala hhayi i-meerkat eyodwa, kodwa ezimbili ngasikhathi sinye, ukuze bakwazi ukudlala futhi banakekelane, uma ungafuni ukuzalanisa ama-meerkat, khona-ke ungaba nabafowenu noma odadewethu bobulili obufanayo.
• Meerkats efulethini uhlala endaweni yamahhala. Akunaseli! Njengendlu yangasese, iMeerkat izovumelana nekati noma itreyi lezinja elincane, ifilimu oyithandayo. Ukungcwatshwa kwabo nomchamo wabo kunuka kancanyana kunekati, futhi ngokuhlanza okujwayelekile nangesikhathi, indlu ayikaze ibe nephunga kubo.
• Ungahamba ibanga nge-meerkat, kepha bazizwa bemnandi, behlala ekhaya njalo. Ngokuhamba ngezinyawo, ihhanisi lama-ferrets asemancane kufanelekile. Ungalokothi uvumele i-meerkat ivale amahhanisi asemgwaqweni, angahle abaleke alahlekelwe noma aphulwe yimoto!
• Ehlobo, kungcono ukuhlinzeka nge-meerkat ngokufinyelela kwesinye sill amawindi ohlangothini elangeni.
• AmaMerkats ayakuthanda ukubuka efasiteleni ukuthi kwenzakalani, ngezikhathi ezithile kukhonkotha abedlula ngendlela nasezimotweni. Emafasiteleni kufanele kube namanetha omiyane, mhlawumbe insimbi, ngaphandle kwalokho i-meerkat ingawa ngewindows! Akuvumelekile futhi ukuthi ahambehamba kuvulandi uma engakhanyisiwe!
• Ekudleni, ama-Meerkats awayona imizwa emnandi kakhulu, angakudla ukudla kwekati, futhi ungondla futhi inyama, inhlanzi nemikhiqizo yobisi. Ngeke futhi zenqabe amaqhude nezinye izilwane. Into esemqoka ekudleni kwabo ukufinyelela njalo emanzini okuphuza.
• Emvelweni, ama-meerkats ahlala emigodini, ngakho-ke kungcono ukuthi athathe indlu ebanzi, hhayi enkulu kakhulu, noma ungathenga ipayipi lendwangu le-meerkat izinja, kuthi ekugcineni kwepayipi libeke umatilasi athambile. Khumbula ukuthi ama-meyketa awashiyi “indawo yokukhosela” yawo ebusuku, ngakho-ke ama-puddles azovela lapho ngezikhathi ezithile, akufanele ujezise ingane ngalokhu, imvelo ayimvumeli ukuthi ahambe ebumnyameni ... izinyoni ezithusayo zingazulazula lapho. Kepha i-meerkat futhi ayikwazi ukubekezelela kuze kuse. Ngakho-ke, kuyadingeka ukushintsha ngezikhathi ezithile udoti wakhe.

Ukuziphatha ekhaya

Ngokusho kokubuyekezwa, ama-meerkats azizwa emuhle ezindlini zezindiza ngisho nasendlini efulethini. Umsebenzi wabo, ukujabula, ubuntu bathandwa kakhulu ngabazalisi. Ekuthunjweni, isilwane singaphila okungenani iminyaka eyi-12. Kepha njengoba izilwane ezincelisayo zikhetha indlela yomndeni, kufanelekile ukuthola ama-meerkat ambalwa. Uma umniniyo engafuni ukuthola inzalo, ungathatha abantu bobulili obuhlukile. Ngakho-ke ngeke babe nesithukuthezi, futhi kuhlala kukhona ithuba lokudlala. Lokhu kubalulekile esilwaneni. Isifuyo singabangane nomniniyo, kepha owokugcina awukwazi ukufaka umndeni nesilwane.

Inqubo yokujwayela i-meerkat kudoti

Inqubo yokujwayeza isilwane endlini yangasese ilula impela futhi ayisho ukuthi bukhona ubunzima. Izilwane zisabela kahle lapho ziqeqeshwa. Okokuqala udinga ukubuka isilwane, futhi lapho efuna ukubhekana naso, kufanele usidlulisele kudoti. Uma kwenzeka awunaso isikhathi sokuhambisa isilwane endaweni efanele, udinga ukususa lokho akwenzile bese ufaka ugqoko, ubeke i-meerkat lapho futhi umkhombise umphumela wezenzo zakhe. Ngemuva kokuthi i-meerkat isingene ngendlela efanele yangasese, qiniseka ukunikeza isilwane okuthile esidlweni. Izitimela ezimbalwa ezinjalo, futhi i-meerkat izokuqonda lapho udinga ukuphatha izindaba zakho.

Ngaphambi kokuba isilwane silale endlini yakhe, kuyadingeka ukubeka khona i-diaper, ngoba ebusuku, isilwane ngeke siphume siyokwenelisa isidingo. Lokhu kuziphatha kuphinde kube yisici sakhe endaweni yakhe yemvelo, ngoba i-meerkat ayisoze yashiya umgodi wayo ebusuku, futhi ngeke izifake engcupheni.

Imibono yabazala

Cishe bonke abanikazi ngaphandle kokukhiya bashiya kuphela izibuyekezo ezinhle ngama-meerkats. Lesi silwane esihle sathandana nenani elikhulu labantu ezweni lethu. Babeka isilwane njengonobuhlakani, obunothando, ongenazinkinga.

Abanikazi bayayithanda into yokuthi ayingene futhi ayihluphi ngokunaka kwabo, ayiphangi izinto zasendlini. Angakhuphuka esambeni bese ephendulela yonke into phezulu lapho, kodwa ngeke akhiphe lutho futhi ngeke alume. Amacala wesilwane akuhloselwe ukukhipha noma yini efulethini.

Isimo sokujabula se-meerkat sihlala sinaye impilo yakhe yonke. Isilwane sizohlangana kahle nekati, uma leso singesibi. IMerkat iphatha izivakashi ngenelukuluku, iphuma ukuze ijwayelane, ayikhombisi ulaka.

Izikhundla zomndeni

Indlela yokuphila yeqembu iyadingeka ukuze izilwane ziphile. Iqembu elinjalo kwesinye isikhathi libizwa ngokuthi “yisigelekeqe” noma “isixuku” samamerki. Iholwa ngumbhangqwana we-alpha lapho kubusa khona insikazi. Eqenjini elibunjiwe, iningi lamalungu alo kungaba izingane noma izingane zakubo ze-alpha.

Abakwa-al-pair (kanye nababili “abangaphansi” kwabo) njalo ngonyaka bagcwalisa umndeni ngamawundlu angama-2-4 ngonyaka. Amalungu asele eqembu leziguli anakekela inzalo futhi kwesinye isikhathi ayondla abancane ngobisi. Konke lokhu kwenziwa ngoba ukusinda kwezinsana kubalulekile ekugcineni umphakathi.

Kuyathakazelisa! Ama-mexk amadala ajwayele ukufaka impilo yawo engozini ukuvikela inzalo emincane yomndeni wayo.

Imibuzo yezokuphepha

Ngokusho kokubuyekezwa, ama-meyketa asekhaya aziveza njengezilwane ezinelukuluku, ahlola konke ukuqhekeka, angangena kusofa. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile kumnikazi ukuthi aqinisekise ukuphepha kwezilwane zakhe ezifuywayo:

• Zonke izikhala eziyingozi kufanele zivaliwe kusuka esilwaneni.
• Isilwane akufanele sibe nokufinyelela kwi-loggia ye-loglia noma kuvulandi.
• Amakhemikhali asendlini kufanele afihlwe ngokuphephile.
• Izinto ezincane (izinkinobho, izipikili, imicu) akufanele zitholakale kwi-meerkat. Okufanayo kusebenza ekungcoleni kwasekhishini.
• Ngaphambi kokuvula umshini wokuwasha, qiniseka ukuthi isilwane lesi asikho esimeni sokulala kuso.
• Lapho uvala iminyango, qiniseka ukuthi isilwane asishobhi eduze kwaso.

Awukho umuthi womuntu okufanele unikezwe isilwane. Uma kwenzeka isifo sesilwane, udokotela wezilwane kufanele asikhombise.

Kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi isikhathi sokuphila se-meerkat ekhaya sizoya ngqo ekunakekelweni umnikazi anakho ngesilwane.

Indlela yokuphila

AmaMerkats ahola indlela ehlelwe ngokuqinile: ukuvuka ekuseni, ayofuna ukudla, bese echitha isikhashana ethoyilethi lawo bese eqala ukumba izimbobo. Bemba cishe sonke isikhathi sabo samahhala, baqhubeka ngokujula futhi benwebisa izifundo, babuyisela imipheme efafaziwe futhi bahlomisa imisele emisha. Imibhobho emisha igcinwa endaweni ebekiwe uma kungacekeleka phansi leyo endala, kwesinye isikhathi ama-meerkats alahla umgoqo owedlule ngenxa yokutheleleka kakhulu kwezifo zokuhlanza futhi ahambise u-1-2 km endaweni. Ukusuka kude nomsebenzi, ama-meykimu angakwazi ukulala kancane: ekushiseni okukhulu kakhulu alala ezigodini, kwesinye isikhathi athathe imisebe yelanga, alulwe lapho kuphuma khona, kodwa kuyenzeka ukuthi indwangu eyimboza khona kanye eposini lokulwa, khona-ke i-meerkat emi kwikholamu ingakhululeka futhi iwele. Kepha lokhu akusho ukuthi ama-meykats awanandaba. Lezi yizilwane ezinake kakhulu futhi ezinakekelayo, ezihlala ziqalaza. Kusihlwa, ama-meerkat aya futhi ayofuna ukudla alale, ebusuku awasebenzi.
