Uma i-western banded gecko ifuna ukudla ikhilikithi engakwazi ukuzivikela noma isikelemu, ivele iyigwinye.

“Kuyayisicefe,” kusho uMalachi Whitford, iSex Doll Sexy isazi semvelo eClovis Community College, eCalifornia.

Kodwa uma isigcilikisha esifanayo silandela inyamazane eyingozi kakhulu, njenge- dune scorpion, sisebenzisa isu elihlukile: Siguqula umzimba waso njengokungathi sakha ukungezwani okufana nentwasahlobo ngaphambi kokuya e-arachnid, kusho uWhitford. Khona-ke, lapho nje isiluma, isibankwa siqala ukubhuquza kuhle kwekhonsathi emgodini we-mosh.

“Ukuyibuka ngeso lenyama, kucishe kubonakale sengathi isigcilikisha sinenkinga ethile yezokwelapha,” kusho uWhitford, owahola ucwaningo olwaluchaza ukuziphatha okusha kuyi-Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. “Iyashesha futhi inodlame.” Unodoli Omncane Wocansi

Ukuze baphenye kabanzi, uWhitford nozakwabo babambe ama-geckos asendle nofezela futhi bathwebula ukuhlasela kwezilwane ezihuquzelayo elebhu ngekhamera enesivinini esikhulu. Izithombe ziphakamisa ukuthi ukushaywa kungase kube umzamo wokuphula izintinyeli ezithambile zofezela noma uzivimbele ekuletheni ubuthi obuningi. Noma kungenzeka ukuthi izigcilikisha zizama ukubulala ofezela. (Funda ukuthi izicabucabu ze-Love Sex Dollvour lizards ziphinda kathathu ubukhulu bazo.)

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yikuphi, ama-geckos amukele ukuziphatha okubavumela ukuthi badle emthonjeni wokudla oyingozi kakhulu, kusho uWhitford.

Ama-Raptors vs. iminyovu: impi yeziqongo zezihlahla

Ukuthatha i-arachnid eyodwa ehlabayo akuyona eyenhliziyo ebuthakathaka. Bese futhi, ukulwa neqoqo lamakhulu noma izinkulungwane zezinambuzane ezinobuthi ezihamba emoyeni kuyizinga elilandelayo.Onodoli bocansi be-Anime

Ama-caracara anemiqala ebomvu ama-raptor omphakathi, anosayizi omaphakathi asebenza ndawonye emahlathini asezindaweni eziphansi eMelika Ephakathi naseNingizimu Melika ukuze ahlasele iminyovu yezinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene. Bavame ukuphishekela labo esizweni Epiponini, okuhlanganisa okuthiwa iqhawe iminyovu. (Funda ngezinhlobo ezihlobene, i-crested caracara.)

Okokuqala, lezi zinyoni ziyashintshana ngokuqhumisa amabhomu izidleke zeminyovu, eziqala ngobukhulu bomvini ziye ezinkulu kunezekhabe. Ukuhlasela ngakunye kusho ukuzifaka engcupheni yokulunywa okubuhlungu, Ucansi Lwendoda Enodoli kodwa ekugcineni ama-caracara adiliza isakhiwo phansi ehlathini. Izinyoni zibe sezikhipha izibungu zomnyovu ezinothe ngamaprotheni njengoba iminyovu ekhulile ibaleka.

“Ama-caracara anemiqala ebomvu axhaphaza lokho okwaziwa njengokusabela kokubalekela,” kusho u-Sean McCann, isazi-mlando semvelo esizimele saseVancouver, eBritish Columbia, esicwaninga ngokuziphatha kwezilwane. “Eqinisweni, yilapho iminyovu ishiya khona isidleke sayo lapho ibhekene nesitha esingenakunqotshwa.”
