Ixoxo le-goliath lingenye yezilwane ezihlala emanzini amakhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni. Eqinisweni, ibhekwa njengenkulu kunazo zonke. Nokho, akwaziwa abaningi.
Ngakho-ke, namuhla sifuna ukukhuluma nawe mayelana linjani ixoxo likaGoliyathi, indawo ehlala kuyo, ukuphakelwa nokukhiqizwa kabusha kwe-anus kanye nokuziphatha kwayo.
Linjani ixoxo lika goliyathi
Ixoxo lika-goliath, elaziwa nangokuthi conraua goliyathi, libhekwa njengesele elikhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni namuhla, futhi lingaba nesisindo esiphakathi kwamagremu angu-650 namakhilogremu amathathu; futhi ikala phakathi kwamasentimitha ayi-3 no-17. Kuyaziwa ngaye kusukela ngo-1906, lapho uGeorge Albert Boulenger eyichaza kwenye yemibhalo yakho. Ngokuqondene naleli gama, libangelwa iBhayibheli ngokwalo njengoba libhekisela emdondoshiya owesabekayo ongamamitha angu-2,90 okuthiwa uGoliyati owafa ezandleni zikaDavide.
Umzimba wesele lika-goliath ubanzi futhi unekhanda elingunxantathu. Kuwo, amehlo makhulu njengawabantu, futhi athi ukuqhuma. I-eardrum ikala uhhafu wesentimitha futhi itholakala cishe amahlanu emehlweni. Futhi, isikhumba sazo sigoqeka sisuka emehlweni siye ngemuva kwesigubhu sendlebe.
Kodwa into emangalisa kakhulu ngexoxo lika-goliath yimilenze yalo. Ezingemuva zinde kakhulu kunezangaphambili, futhi ziyajiya futhi zinamandla ngoba ngazo zingagxuma ibanga elingamamitha amathathu (amaxoxo avamile awagxumi ngaphezu kwemitha). Ine-interdigital membranes eya ezihlokweni zeminwe, futhi umunwe wesibili uhlale umude kunayo yonke.
Isikhumba sesele simise okwe-angular. I ama-shades ahluka kusuka kunsundu kuya kokuluhlaza kuyilapho ingxenye ye-ventral iphuzi kakhulu, ikhilimu noma i-orange.
Naphezu kobukhulu balo, umsindo eliwenzayo lapho ikhala ungethusa, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi ixoxo lika-goliath liyisimungulu. Ayinawo amasaka omlomo ajwayelekile amasele, kodwa iyakwazi ukwenza amakhwela ngomlomo wayo. Ayinawo futhi ama-bridal pads.
Ngokuqondene nentsha, ilingana nezibungu kanye noshobishobi bamanye amaxoxo, ngakho-ke awahlukani kakhulu kunalapho eqala ukukhula.
Isikhathi sokuphila sexoxo le-goliath cishe iminyaka eyi-15.; Ekuthunjweni, inqobo nje uma indawo yayo yokuhlala ihlonishwa futhi inakekelwa kahle, ingafinyelela ku-25.
Ukuziphatha kwe-Goliath ye-Conraua
Ixoxo i-goliath i-amphibian, njengezinye izilwane eziningi, enemikhuba yasebusuku. Emini, ngokuvamile isuke iphumule phakathi kwamatshe noma icashe kwezinye izilwane ezidla ezinye ezingase ziyihlasele. Nokho, ebusuku yilapho beyofuna ukudla. Ivamise ukwenza lokho ngezindawo zemifula nezimpophoma futhi isebenzisa ikhono lokugxuma nokuhamba amabanga amade, kanye nokubona kwayo okuhle kakhulu, ukuze ibone inyamazane yayo futhi izihlasele ngokuzumayo.
Uma isifanekiso sisencane, kujwayelekile ukuthi sichithe isikhathi saso esiningi emanzini, kanti izisulu zaso yilezo ezifika ukuzophuza noma ezisemanzini.
Mayelana nezindawo, banolaka kakhulu kwabanye futhi bahlala bodwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunzima kakhulu ukuba nesilwane esifuywayo ngoba asivumelani nokuthunjwa, ukuhamba ngezigaba zokucindezeleka, izinguquko zemvelo ezithinta impilo yayo, njll.
Habitat
Ixoxo le-goliath litholakala endaweni yase-Afrika. Ngaphakathi kwalokhu, indawo isentshonalanga, ikakhulukazi izindawo zase-Equatorial Guinea naseCameroon. Kuyivelakancane ukuyithola kwamanye amazwekazi ngaphandle uma ivalelwe futhi imbala kuyo, kunzima ukuthi izibonelo ziphile kahle futhi zingaguli ngenxa yalokhu kushintsha kwendawo.
Lolu hlobo lwamaxoxo luthanda ukuhlala ezindaweni zemifula enamanzi ahlanzekile, kodwa akudingekile ukuba lube amanzi azolile, zithanda izimpophoma nezimpophoma. Eqinisweni, izindawo ezingaphansi kwesihlabathi, kodwa amanzi acwebile, ziyizintandokazi zazo. Njengomuntu omdala, ngokuvamile azichithi isikhathi esiningi emanzini, okuthi, lapho zisencane, zikwenze. Indawo yayo yemvelo iyivumela ukuthi iphume iyoshisa ilanga emadwaleni, nokugcina umswakama endaweni ehlala kuyo.
Eqinisweni, azikho izibonelo zexoxo le-goliath ezitholakala ngaphezu kwamamitha ayi-1000 ukuphakama.
Ngenxa yokulahleka kwemvelo yalo, lelixoxo lingelinye lalawo asengozini yokushabalala. Uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi kunezibonelo ezimbalwa nokuthi ihlala engxenyeni eyodwa yeplanethi, kubalulekile ukuyivimbela ukuthi ingashabalali.
Ukufunza ixoxo likaGoliyathi
Ukudla kwexoxo le-goliath kuhlukile kuye ngokuthi isifanekiso sisencane (isibungu kanye ne-tadpole) noma sesikhulile kakade. Endabeni yangaphambili, okungukuthi, i-larva noma i-tadpole, ukudla kwabo kuqukethe ikakhulukazi izitshalo zasemanzini. Eqinisweni, iyisilwane esidla uhlaza ngaleso sikhathi.
Kodwa-ke, ixoxo elidala le-goliath lishintsha ngokuphelele ukudla kwalo futhi iba inyama edlayo. Ukudla kwabo izinambuzane, amaxoxo amancane, izicabucabu, amalulwane, izinkalankala, izilwane ezincelisayo ezincane noma izimfudu, izinyoka ezincane...
Indlela yexoxo le-goliath yokuzingela iyathanda ukwazi. Ngenxa yobukhulu bayo, iyakwazi ukugxuma okukhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ikwazi ukubona kahle kakhulu, okuyivumela ukuba ibone inyamazane yayo buqamama futhi isondele ngokushesha kuyo ukuze iyibambe ngolimi lwayo, futhi ngenxa yemihlathi yayo nemihlathi emincane, iyakwazi ukuyidla ngokuluma kanye nje.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwexoxo le-goliath
Njengamanye ama-amphibians, ixoxo le-goliath lidinga indawo ehlala emanzini ukuze lizalane. Amaxoxo angamaduna angena emanzini abese eqala ukubiza ezinsikazi. Lokhu kuyisici kakhulu ngoba alinawo amasaka okuzwakalisa izwi futhi okuzwakalayo amahiya azoheha abesifazane lapho ukhona. Ngaleso sikhathi, iduna liyobe selizalele uhlobo oluthile lwendawo yokuzalela amaqanda, ngokuvamile osebeni lomfula naseduze nezimila ukuze avikeleke kakhulu.
Uma eyeduna yamukelwa, insikazi izongena emanzini futhi ukukhwelana nge-amplexus kuzokwenzeka. Ukubekela kungaba ngaphezu kwama-200 3,5 mm amaqanda azonamathela kwamanye amaqanda nezimila endaweni yokuzalela. Lapho nje izibungu zichanyuselwa, inqubo ecishe ibe yizinyanga ezi-3 iqala ukukhula ngokugcwele.
Ngemva kokubekela amaqanda, kokubili iduna nensikazi awabanaki amaphuphu, okusho ukuthi amaningi awo angase angazalwa noma angase abe isisulu sezinye izilwane, kokubili esemaqandeni nasesigabeni sezibungu.
