I-Biology kanye nemikhuba yokukhwelana
Emvelweni, ama-axolotl aqala inqubo yawo yokukhiqiza kabusha ebusika, kusukela ngoDisemba. Ngalesi sikhathi, abesilisa bafuna abesifazane bese benza uchungechunge lokudansa ngomsila ukuze bahehe abashade nabo. Lapho owesifazane ekhangwa, umdanso ongokwesiko uyenzeka phakathi kwakho kokubili, ohlanganisa uchungechunge lokunyakaza okuhambisanayo.
Lapho insikazi yamukela eyeduna, ifaka iphakethe lesidoda, elaziwa ngokuthi i-spermatophore, lelo elesikazi eliqoqayo nge-cloaca yalo. Le spermatophore idluliselwa ngenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-cloacal insemination. Lolu hlobo lokuzala, nakuba luvamile ezilwaneni eziningi ezihlala emanzini nasemanzini nasezihuquzelayo, luyinqaba futhi luhlukile kulokho okubonakala kwezinye izilwane eziningi ezinomgogodla.
Ukukhulelwa nokubeka amaqanda
Ngemva kokukhwelana, insikazi axolotl ikhiphe ukukhulelwa kwesidoda esitholiwe. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi sokumitha, esingase sithathe inyanga, insikazi ikhiqiza amakhulukhulu amaqanda azovundiswa isidoda esasigcinwe kuyi-cloaca yayo.
Lapho amaqanda eselungele ukubeka, insikazi iwanamathisela ezitshalweni ezixegayo namadwala emanzini. Lamaqanda ane-gelatinous ngaphandle, kodwa aqinile ngaphakathi, avikela imibungu. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi phakathi nalolu hlelo, insikazi ingabekela amaqanda aphakathi kwekhulu kuya ku-100 1,000, kuye ngobukhulu bayo nempilo.
Ukuthuthukiswa nokukhula kwama-axolotl
Amaqanda e-axolotl avundisiwe athatha phakathi kwamasonto amabili kuya kwamathathu ukuze achanyuselwe. Ngesikhathi sokuzalwa, izingane ze-axolotl zinezinyosi zangaphandle, eziphefumula ngazo, futhi zidle i-yolk sac yazo ezinsukwini zokuqala zokuphila.
Njengoba zikhula, ziqala ukudla izilwane ezincane ezingenamgogodla zasemanzini.
- Ngesikhathi sokukhula kwabo, bangabhekana nokushintshashintsha kwezinto ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile, njengoshintsho endaweni yabo.
- Endle, ama-axolotl ahlala esesimweni sawo sezibungu kukho konke ukuphila kwawo, into eyaziwa ngokuthi i-neoteny.
Ukwakhiwa kabusha kwama-axolotl
Enye yezinto ezithakazelisa kakhulu ama-axolotl amandla awo okuvuselela izingxenye zomzimba ezilimele noma ezilahlekile. Lokhu kuhlanganisa izitho eziyinkimbinkimbi njengenhliziyo, amaphaphu, umgogodla, nezingxenye zobuchopho.
Ezingeni lamaselula, ama-axolotl anekhono elimangalisayo lokuhlela kabusha amangqamuzana nezicubu zawo, into ososayensi abangakayiqondi ngokugcwele. Leli khono elimangalisayo lokuvuselela seliphenduke inkambu ethokozisayo yocwaningo ku-biomedicine nocwaningo lomdlavuza.
Ukongiwa kanye nezinsongo kuma-axolotl
Naphezu kwezimangaliso zesayensi yezinto eziphilayo nokukhiqiza kabusha, ama-axolotl asengozini yokunyamalala endaweni yawo engokwemvelo kuphela eMexico. Ukulahlekelwa indawo yokuhlala, ukungcoliswa kwamanzi kanye nokwethulwa kwezilwane ezihlaselayo kuye kwaholela lolu hlobo ohlwini lwezilwane ezisengozini. Kubalulekile ukuthi sithathe izinyathelo zokuvikela le ngane okuwukuphela kwayo yemvelo futhi siqinisekise ukuthi iphila ezizukulwaneni ezizayo.
