Ihlosi [Leptailurus serval]Inkangeleko
Lekati ibuncincane ngesakhiwo ima ku 500 mm emagxeni. Umva, iindonga kunye nomsila zigqunywe sisikhumba esimdaka ngombala, esinemigca emqolo kunye namabala amnyama kwiindonga nasemsileni. IHlosi linenyawo ezinde kunomzimba wayo ongamanyawo amathathu ngobude, xa imile ingange intshizi eziyi 20 kubude begxalaba.IHlosi linentloko encinci kodwa ende iphinde ibenendlebe eziqanda eziphawulwe ngemigca emhlophe namnyama emva. Kuye kwabonakala ukuba ihlosi lisebenzisa ezimpawu zayo ziyimigca ukutheths nezinye iintlobo zezilwanyana. Ubumnyama behlosi buyafumaneka kwiindawo ezigcwele amahlathi.
Itya ntoni
Ubuninzi bokutya beHlosi buquka amagundwana ingakumbi iimpuku. Iintaka, amasele, izininambuzane, kunye nezilwanyana ezirhubuzayo kanye nentlanzi ziyasinceda isondlo sayo.Ukuzala
Inzalo yekati ezintanthu ukuya kwisine, zizalwa kwingca engqindilili. Ixesha lokumitha lithatha iintsuku eziyi 68-72. Iinzalo zenzeka pha kweye Hlobo. Zizalwa zinezikhundla kodwa ukuzikhusela, umama ozozikhusela amane ezifihla endaweni ezahlukileyo. Oku kwenza ukuba inzalo yeHlosi ibenzima ukuyifunda.Njenge ngwenkala, umama ukhulisa iikatana zakhe zodwa amane azishiye xa eyozingela. Xa amathole sele ekhulile ukuba ayozingela, umama uzoqhuba iinkunzi ngaphandle komhlambi wakhe. Iimazi zizohlala zodwa ade umama avuthwe. Bazoqhutyelwa ngaphandle ngumama ukwenzel’ukuba zikwazi ukuzakhela ezazo iindawo.
Isimilo
Zithanda ukuhlala zodwa, ngaphandle xa zikhwelana okanye imazi ikhatshwe lusana lwayo. Ikhaya leHlosi lisuka pha kwi 15-30 sq. Iindidi zamakhaya azikhethakanga kodwa abahlali abazukudibana. Uphawu lwevumba lwenziwa ngumchamo kunye nekaka. Iinkunzi zigcwele kwiindawo ezinkulu okungafaniyo nokwe mazi. Azibambeki, zinentloni, iHlosi zithanda ubusuku kodwa zizingela ngokubona kwaye zinesandi ngaphezu kwevumba.Kwingingqi zase Afrika apho le kati ingaphazamiseki khona ziyasebenza nasebusuku. Inendlebe ezibukhali kakhulu kwaye iyakwazi ukufumana isilwanyane esihamba phantsi komhlaba. Xa isiva isizulu sayo, iHlosi lizochwechwa ligxume, lisigqwenge. Iyathanda ukudlala ngokutya kwayo phambi kokuba itye. Lekati inezandi ezininzi. Xa izikhusela zonyusa umqolo zikhulunge kakhulu.
Indawo yokuhlala
Ithanda ukuhlala kwindawo efumileyo enengca, ende kwaye enemigxobhozo. Okukuzikhethela kuzala ulwabelano oluvumela iinginqi ezininzi.Zifumaneka phi
