I-Kiwi iyinyoni engakwazi ukuhamba.

I-kiwi-bird ehlukile ehlobo layo ihlala eNew Zealand kuphela. Uhola indlela yokuphila eyimfihlakalo, yingakho kuyinkinga ukumhlangabeza emvelweni.

I-Kiwis yilabo abamele abakwa- ratites kuphela, abanamaphiko futhi abakwazi ukuhamba. Umuntu omdala unezilinganiso ezincane kakhulu. Umzimba wenyoni uhlosiwe, ikhanda lincane, intamo ifushane. Isisindo sesilwane sisuka ku-1, 5 kuya ku-4 kilogram. Inyoni ye-kiwi inemilenze enamandla enezintathu ezinezinyosi kanye nensimbi emincane emincane enezinyosi. Umsila ulahlekile. Isilwane sinemvula enkulu emhlophe noma emhlophe, okukhumbuza uboya obukhulu. Bonke abantu balezi zilwane bangobusuku. Banomqondo omuhle kakhulu wokuhogela nokuzwa, futhi umbono ubuthakathaka.

Inyoni ye-kiwi ikhethwe indawo yayo ngokuhlala emanzini amanzi, amanzi, ahlala eluhlaza. Ntambama isilwane sifihla ngaphansi kwezimpande zezitshalo, emgodini noma emgodini. Ukungena ekhaya lakhe uyazifihla ngokucophelela, ehlanganisa amahlumela namaqabunga. Ebusuku, i-kiwi iba buhlungu. Phakathi nenkathi yokukhula, isilwane sivikela indawo yaso, (ngezinye izimo kuthatha ama-hectares angu-2 kuya ku-100) kusuka kumncintiswaneni. Ngenxa yemilenze enamandla kanye nensimbi enamandla ye-kiwi, le nyoni ingabangela ukulimala okubulalayo kwisitha. Abantu balesi sizwe banamandla kakhulu, bangadlula indawo yonke yokuhlala ebusuku. Imingcele yendawo yayo yendawo ye-kiwi iboniswa ukuklabalaza okuzwakalayo ngokuzwakalayo ebusuku ngisho namakhilomitha ambalwa.

Izinyoni zokuzingela ziqala imizuzu engamashumi amathathu ngemva kokushona kwelanga. Izindleko ze-slide, futhi zijulise ngokujulile umlomo wazo, zisebenzisa umqondo wazo wephunga ukuze zithole inyamazane yazo emhlabathini. Zondla ngokuyinhloko kuma-mollusks, izinambuzane, ama-crustaceans, izibungu zomhlaba, izithelo eziwile kanye namajikijolo.

I-Kiwi iyinyoni enomuntu oyedwa, lo mbhangqwana uyakhiwa ngezinkathi eziyi-2-3 zokuzala, kanti kwezinye izimo zokuphila. Kanye emva kwezinsuku ezintathu owesilisa nowesifazane bahlangana esidlekeni, futhi ebusuku bazama ukukhuluma. Isikhathi sokuvuthwa ngokuvamile siqala kusukela ngoJuni kuya ku-Mashi. Ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingu-21 emva kokukhulelwa, insikazi encane ibeka iqanda elikhulu elilinganisa amagremu angu-450 ngaphansi kwezimpande zomuthi noma emgodini. I-tinge emhlophe noma eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.

Ngosayizi, iqanda liphindwe kasithupha inkukhu futhi i-65% iqukethe i-yolk. Ngesikhathi sokubeletha kwakhe, owesifazane udla ukudla okungaphezu kwesithathu kunokujwayelekile. Izinsuku ezintathu ngaphambi kokulala, inyoni iyeka ukudla ngoba iqanda lithatha isikhala esiningi ngaphakathi komzimba. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi owesilisa uhlanganyela ekukhuliseni inzalo, eshiya isidleke kuphela isikhathi sokudla. Abanye abantu bayakwazi ukuhlehlisa iqanda elilandelayo zingakapheli izinsuku ezingu-25.

Ngokujwayelekile isikhathi sokufakelwa ukugubha izinsuku ezingu-80, ngezinsuku ezingu-2-3 ikhekhe likhethiwe kusuka kugobolondo ngaphandle. Izilwane ezincane azizalwa ngezansi, kodwa ngezimpaphe. Ngokushesha ngemva kokuqothula, abantu abadala bayashiya ithole. Izinsuku zokuqala zokuphila leli chick lisalokhu libuthakathaka ezinyaweni zalo, ngosuku lwesihlanu likwazi ukuzimela ngokuzimela bese lifuna ukudla. Isikhathi sokuphila kwabantu ngabanye balesi sizwe sisilinganiso seminyaka engama-50 kuya kwengu-60.

I-Kiwi-bird, isithombe esivezwa kulokhu kulesi sihloko, yisibonakaliso esingavamile seNew Zealand. Uphawu lwayo luboniswa izitembu zokuthunyelwa, izinhlamvu zemali, izinkumbulo, njll. Isilwane sibhalwe ku-Red Book.
