I-Fringed turtle (matamata)

I-Matamata (noma i-fringed turtle) ingeyomndeni wezintamo zenyoka futhi iyisilwane esifuywayo esingavamile kakhulu. Lolu ufudu lwasemanzini oludla ezinye, umsebenzi ophakeme kakhulu owenzeka kusihlwa.

Isici esiyinhloko salolu hlobo yintamo ende ngokumangazayo enemigqa yesikhumba esimile, ngenxa yalokho, endle, ufudu luhlangana namagatsha omswakama kanye neziqu zezihlahla nezinye izimila zasemanzini. Amahlumela afanayo atholakala entanyeni nasesilevuni sofudu. Inhloko ye-matamata iyisicaba, isesimweni sikanxantathu, ine-proboscis ethambile, umlomo ubanzi kakhulu. 

I-carapace engavamile (ingxenye engenhla yegobolondo) enama-tubercles abukhali amise okwe-cone esihlanguni ngasinye kanye nemiphetho ehlanganisiwe ifinyelela ku-40 cm ubude. Isisindo esijwayelekile se-matamata esikhulile silinganiselwa ku-15 kg.

Ubulili bunganqunywa ngokuma kwe-plastron (ingxenye engezansi yegobolondo): kwabesilisa, i-plastron i-concave, kanti kowesifazane ilingana. Futhi, abesifazane banomsila omfishane futhi ominyene kunabesilisa.

Umbala wamawundlu ama-matamata ugqamile kunowabadala. Igobolondo lezimfudu ezindala linemibala ephuzi kanye namathoni ansundu.

Lapho unquma ukuthola i-turtle ene-fringed, udinga ukucabangela ukuthi lesi silwane singathandeka ohlangothini, kodwa awukwazi ukusithatha (esiphezulu kanye ngenyanga ukuze sihlolwe). Ngokuthintana njalo, ufudu luba nokucindezeleka okukhulu futhi lusheshe lugule.

Ihlala Isikhathi Esingakanani I

Ubude besikhathi sokuphila kwezimfudu ezinezintelezi ezinakekelwa kahle busukela eminyakeni engu-40 kuye kwengama-75, futhi abanye abacwaningi bayavuma ukuthi izimfudu zingaphila zifinyelele ku-100.

Izici zokunakekelwa nokunakekelwa

Ngenxa yokubukeka kwawo okungavamile, ama-matamata athandwa kakhulu phakathi kwabathandi bezilwane ezifuywayo ezihlala emanzini. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zingama-turtles angenasizotha, kodwa ukuhlelwa kwe-aquaterrarium yabo kudinga indlela enomthwalo wemfanelo.

I-aquarium ye-turtle ene-fringed kufanele ibe ivulekile ukuze isilwane, ubude baso begobolondo buyi-40 cm, sikhululekile futhi sikhululekile kuso (inketho engcono kakhulu ngamalitha angu-250). 

I-Matamata isebenza kakhulu lapho kuhwalala, ayikuthandi ukukhanya okukhanyayo, ngakho-ke ezinye izindawo ezise-aquaterrarium ziba mnyama ngosizo lwezikrini ezikhethekile ezibekwe ngaphezu kwamanzi. 

Ufudu olunezinsephe aluzidingi iziqhingi zomhlaba: luchitha cishe impilo yalo yonke emanzini, luphuma luye ezweni ikakhulukazi ukuze luzalele amaqanda. Kodwa-ke, ku-aquarium kufakwa isibani se-ultraviolet sezimfudu nesibani se-incandescent ukuvimbela ama-rickets esilwaneni. Izinga eliphezulu lamanzi ku-aquarium: 25 cm.

Ufudu olungavamile lweza kithi luvela emazweni ashisayo, ngakho-ke i-aquarium yayo kufanele ifudumale, uma ingashisi: izinga lokushisa eliphezulu lamanzi lisuka ku-28 liye ku-+30 ?С, umoya - kusuka ku-28 kuya ku-+30 ?С. Izinga lokushisa lomoya lika-25 ° C lizobe selivele lingakhululekile esilwaneni, futhi ngemva kwesikhashana ufudu luzoqala ukwenqaba ukudla. Endle, izimfudu ezinezinsephe zihlala emanzini amnyama, kanti ubumuncu bamanzi ku-aquarium yasekhaya kufanele futhi bube sebangeni le-pH lika-5.0-5.5. Ukwenza lokhu, amaqabunga awile ezihlahla kanye ne-peat yengezwa emanzini.

Abanikazi be-Matamat basebenzisa izitshalo zasemanzini kanye ne-driftwood njengemihlobiso, futhi phansi kwe-aquarium kugcwele isihlabathi. Kunconywa futhi ukufaka indawo yokukhosela ye-turtle ku-aquarium, lapho ingacasha khona ekukhanyeni: endle, ngosuku olukhanyayo, ama-turtles angena odakeni.

Izimfudu ezi-fringed ziyizilwane ezidla ezinye. Endaweni yazo yemvelo, isisekelo sokudla kwazo izinhlanzi, kanye namaxoxo, oshobishobi, ngisho nezinyoni zasemanzini, izimfudu ezihlala ziqamekele. Ezimweni zasekhaya, ukudla kwabo kufanele futhi kusekelwe enyameni. Izimfudu ziphakelwa izinhlanzi, amaxoxo, inyama yenkukhu, njll. 

Isimo samanzi e-aquarium silawulwa ngokucophelela: uzodinga isihlungi esinamandla sezinto eziphilayo, amanzi ahlanzekile adinga ukungezwa njalo.

I-Matamata ingakha amapheya unyaka wonke, kodwa amaqanda abekwe ngesikhathi sasekwindla - ekuqaleni kobusika. Imvamisa, i-clutch eyodwa iqukethe amaqanda ayi-12-28. Ngeshwa, izimfudu ezinamanzi azizaleli ekuthunjweni; lokhu kudinga izimo eziseduze ngangokunokwenzeka nemvelo yasendle, okunzima kakhulu ukuyifinyelela lapho igcinwe ekhaya.

ukusatshalaliswa

Izimfudu zentamo emide zitholakala eNingizimu Melika. I-Matamata ihlala emanzini amile ukusuka e-Orinoco basin kuya e-Amazon basin.  

Imininingwane Ethakazelisayo:

• UMatamata uphefumula ngesikhumba futhi cishe akawashiyi amanzi.

• UMatamata akavamile ukubhukuda, futhi ukhasa ngezansi.
