La iguana kuyisilwane esihlaba umxhwele esingaba isilwane esifuywayo. Zingafinyelela ubude obungamamitha angu-2 futhi zibonise imibala ehlukene kuye ngezinhlobo zezilwane. Lezi zilwane seziphenduke ezinye zezibankwa ezithandwa kakhulu futhi ezithandwa ngabantu. Banemikhuba nezici ezimangaza wonke umuntu ozifundayo.
Ngakho-ke, sizonikezela lesi sihloko ukuze sikutshele zonke izici, indawo yokuhlala, ukudla kanye nokuzala kabusha kukaxamu.
Kuyisibankwa esiyingxenye ye-Aquamata kanye nomndeni wakwa-Iguanidae. Ngokuvamile zinesisindo esiphakathi kuka-4 no-8 kilos kuye ngobukhulu bazo. Lapho bezalwa bancane kakhulu, kodwa cishe eminyakeni emi-3 yokuphila sebevele befinyelele isisindo esikhulu nobude. Lezi zibankwa zingabonisa izinhlobonhlobo zemibala. Izibonelo zabantu abadala zingashintsha umbala wazo kuye ngokuthi izinga lokushisa, indawo abahlala kuyo, isimo sabo sempilo kanye nesimo sabo sengqondo. Lokhu kwenza kube isilwane esithakazelisa ngempela emehlweni enyama.
Esinye sezici ezenza iguana ibe isilwane esiyingqayizivele yisona ikhono lokumunca ngempumelelo ukukhanya kwelanga kanye noshintsho lombala walo ngokusekelwe ekushiseni komzimba wakho. Oxamu abanobude obuphakeme banombala omnyama kunabanye. Ziphinde zithole omunye umbala phakathi kwewolintshi kanye nophuzi omnyama uma zisesikhathini sokuzalanisa.
Esinye isici esiphawulekayo salesi silwane ukuthi banazo amazolo ngaphansi komphimbo wayo kanye ne-dorsal crest eyakhiwe ama-dermal spines. Lameva agijima kuwo wonke umzimba wayo, kusukela entanyeni kuya phansi komsila. Imigogodla isetshenziselwa ukuzivikela ezilwaneni ezidla ezinye kuyilapho isiza ukumunca nokuqeda ukushisa komzimba. Kusukela endaweni engenhla ye-skull yabo banohlobo lweso le-parietal ukuthi, nakuba lingabhekwa njengesitho sombono, libavumela ukuba banqume amandla elanga asendaweni.
Futhi kungenxa yokuthi lezi zilwane zinegazi elibandayo futhi zidinga ukuchayeka elangeni ukuze zilawule izinga lokushisa langaphakathi. Azikwazi ukulawula izinga lokushisa ngokwazo.
Ama-Iguana ahlala ezindaweni ezimaphakathi neziseningizimu yezwekazi laseMelika. Angaphinde atholakale kwezinye iziqhingi esifundeni saseCaribbean kanye nogu olusempumalanga yoLwandlekazi iPacific. Indawo yokuhlala yalesi silwane ibonakala ngokuba namazinga okushisa aphezulu ukuze zikwazi ukulawula izinga lokushisa kwangaphakathi. Abakwazi ukumelana namakhaza.
Endaweni yazo yemvelo zivame ukutholakala emagatsheni ezihlahla. Izibonelo ezincane kunazo zonke yilezo ezizimisa ezindaweni ezimaphakathi nezihlahla, kuyilapho ezindala zitholakala ezindaweni eziphakeme kakhulu. Amagatsha engxenye engenhla yezihlahla yilapho okuthintana kakhulu nokukhanya kwelanga. Lokhu kusho ukuthi abantu abadala bathanda kakhulu kulezi zindawo.
Akuvamile ukubona uxamu ehla esihlahleni, ngaphandle kwangaphakathi ngenkathi yezimvula, lapho zibheka esinye isibonelo ukuze zikhiqize kabusha noma zibheke indawo ephephile yokubeka amaqanda azo. Ama-Iguana ayizinhlobo ze-arboreal, nakuba angakwazi ukuzivumelanisa kalula nezindawo ezifana nezindawo ezinotshani nezindawo ezivulekile ezinenqwaba yezihlahla. Okuwukuphela kwento abayidingayo ukuze bazinze ku-ecosystem ukuthi babe nomthombo wamanzi kusenesikhathi. Banekhono elihle lokulala futhi benze kahle ezindaweni zasemanzini. Zisebenzisa le ndawo ehlala emanzini ukuze zibaleke ezizingelayo.
Mayelana nokudla kwazo, ziyizilwane ezidla uhlaza futhi zisekela ukudla kwazo ezinhlobonhlobo zezitshalo. Imithombo yokudla eyinhloko yalesi silwane esihuquzelayo ihlanganisa nezinye izinambuzane njengomnikelo owengeziwe wokudla okunomsoco. Nakuba ziyizilwane ezidla uhlaza, yizibonelo ezincane, ikakhulukazi, ezidla lezi zinambuzane ezivamile ngokunikezwa okwengeziwe kwamaprotheni. Ukuze kulungiswe ukuntuleka kwamavithamini namaminerali, ama-iguana amancane kakhulu angadla indle yamalungu amadala eqembu. Lokhu kubenza babe yizinto eziphilayo ezihlangene.
Ukudla kusekelwe ikakhulukazi emaqabungeni, izithelo, imiqumbe kanye nezinye izimbali zezitshalo ezikhula endaweni yazo. Ukuze bagcine umzimba uhlanzekile futhi izinga lokushisa lizinzile, basebenzisa amanzi emvula namanzi ezithelo abazidlayo.
Ukukhiqizwa kwe-iguana kwenzeka ngesikhathi sekwindla. Ihlala isikhathi esingamasonto amabili kuphela. Abesilisa basebenzisa uchungechunge lwamasu ukuze bakwazi ukuhambisana nensikazi. Lokhu kubhekwa njengohlobo lokuqomisana. Isibonakaliso sokuba namathuba amaningi okukhwelana nensikazi ukushuba kwemibala yomzimba wayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, insikazi inganqotshwa ngochungechunge lwezimpawu zomzimba ezifana ne-es enikina ikhanda, enyakazisa umzimba wakhe phezulu naphansi noma eveza isilevu sakhe esibomvu.
Amaduna angaba nolaka kakhulu kwabesifazane ngesikhathi sokukhwelana. Kungenzeka ukuthi ngesikhathi sesenzo bazoluma izingxenye ezithile zomzimba, kubangele umonakalo. Isikhathi sokumitha kukaxam cishe yizinyanga ezimbili kuphela. Ngalesi sikhathi insikazi izinikele ekufuneni isidleke esifanelekile ukuze ibeke amaqanda ayo. Kulapha lapho benquma khona ukwehla ezihlahleni lapho ngokuvamile betholakala khona. Ekubekeni ngakunye kwamaqanda cishe aphakathi kuka-12 no-30 akhiqizwayo.
Esinye sezici ezenza uxamu ube namandla okuphila kahle ukuthi abasha kumele bazinakekele. Uma amaqanda achanyuselwa umama usuke engekho ukuze awanakekele. Ngakho, kusukela emzuzwini wokuqala wokuzalwa kwabo, kufanele bazinakekele futhi ufunde ukusinda.
Iningi lokungqubuzana phakathi koxamu emvelweni kwenzeka ngenxa a indawo ekahle yokushisa ilanga. Nakuba ukuba khona kokudla kwamukeleka, ezinye izindawo zezihlahla zinelungelo elikhulu kunezinye uma kuziwa ekutholeni ukukhanya kwelanga okwengeziwe. Ngesikhathi sokukhwelana kuvame ukuba nezimpi ezinkulu phakathi kweduna nezinsikazi nazo ziba nolaka uma zingakwazi ukuthola indawo yokubeka amaqanda azo.
Ngithemba ukuthi ngalolu lwazi ungafunda kabanzi mayelana noxamu
Emhlabeni wezilwane ezihuquzelayo, i Iguana eluhlaza Ingenye yezilwane ezihlonishwa kakhulu ngendlela yazo yokuphila kanye nobukhulu obufinyelela kuzo.
Uma uzoba ne-iguana eluhlaza njengesilwane esifuywayo, kufanele wazi konke mayelana nalolu hlobo: ukuthi lunjani, ukuthi ludlani, luzala kanjani nokuthi ludingani ukuze luthuthuke futhi lukhule ngendlela efanele. Ngezansi unayo yonke le mininingwane.
