El UTocororo ingaphezu kwentaka nje intaka yesizwe Tyhubha. Oku kuthetha ukuba yinxalenye yeempawu zesizwe zeli lizwe kunye nentyatyambo yamabhabhathane, isundu sasebukhosini okanye iflegi yaseCuba uqobo, iDemajagua eyaziwayo.
Igama lezenzululwazi lesi silwanyana sixabisekileyo I-Priotelus temnurus kwaye yeyosapho olunye neequetzal. Nangona kunjalo, kwisiqithi saziwa njenge-tocororo okanye njenge umbala ocolileyo. Eli gama livela kwisandi sengoma yabo, i-onomatopoeia inokuphinda iveliswe ngolu hlobo: «to-co-ro-ro». Kwiindawo ezithile zesiqithi, ngakumbi kwisiqingatha sempuma, saziwa ngegama lika i-guatiní, Ixesha lemvelaphi yeTaino.
Ukusuka kwimbono ye-ornithological luhlobo olunomdla kakhulu, kuba iyi indemism. I-tocororo ihlala eCuba kuphela: kwisiqithi esikhulu, kunye nezinye iziqithi ezincinci ezinje IGuanaja Cay, Isle yoLutsha y Sabinal Cay.
Kutheni le nto uTocororo ethathwa njengentaka yesizwe yaseCuba? Izizathu zimbini:
Kwelinye icala, iintsiba zayo zokubonisa zinayo imibala efanayo neflegi yaseCuba. Kwelinye icala, kuyenzeka oko ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba le ntaka ibanjwe. Xa uTocororo evalelwe, uyeka ukucula, ayeke ukutya, aphulukane neentsiba ezixabisekileyo kwaye avunyelwe ukuba afe kancinci. Olu phawu lwatolikwa njengesidima: uTocororo uyayithanda inkululeko kwaye ingamela umoya wasimahla wabantu baseCuba.
Iimpawu zikaTocororo
ITocororo yintaka enobukhulu obuphakathi enobude obuphakathi kweesentimitha ezingama-27 ukuya kuma-29. Umsila wayo mde, ulinganisa ngokufanayo nomzimba wonke. Ngamaphiko olulekileyo lentaka ingafikelela phantse kwiisentimitha ezingama-40 ubude bamaphiko.
Imibala yeentsiba zeTocororo iyafana naleyo yeflegi yaseCuba
Umsila kaTocororo wenziwe ziintsiba ezinde ezitsolo, ezenza isiphelo sazo zibe sisarha. Amehlo abomvu, lo gama umlomo umnyama phezulu, bomvu ezantsi. Iinzipho zazo ziyafana nezo zeentaka zosapho lakwaTrogonidae
Eyona nto ibalulekileyo malunga nokubonakala kukaTocororo iintsiba zayo ezimibalabala. Umphezulu kunye nomva wentloko yawo yi-blue-violet, ngelixa umva kunye nomsila ziluhlaza okomnyama kwaye ziyakhazimla. Kwelinye icala, iintsiba ezisentanyeni nasesifubeni zimhlophe okanye zimhlophe grey, kodwa isisu kunye nesiseko somsila zibomvu ngokuqaqambileyo. Olu luhlobo lwe-chromatic ye-plumage yamadoda. Amabhinqa anokubonwa kuba isifuba sibuye sibomvu, kwaye asimhlophe njengaleyo yamadoda. Nguwo kuphela umahluko okhoyo phakathi kwabantu besini esahlukileyo.
Kukho zincinci ezimbini ukusuka eTocororo eCuba:
- I-Priotelus temnurus temnurus, olona luxhaphakileyo noluxhaphakileyo kwesi siqithi.
- I-Priotelus temnurus vescus, ikhathalogu okokuqala kwi-1905 kwaye yahlala kuphela kwi-Isle of Youth. Iyafana nezinye i-subspecies, nangona ubukhulu bayo buncinci.
Indawo yokuhlala kunye namasiko kaTocororo
I-Tocororo ikhona phantse kumahlathi elizwe lonke, nangona kulula ukuyifumana kulawo anamagqabi kwaye anemithi enezithsaba eziphakamileyo. Ininzi kakhulu kwi isiqingatha sempuma yeCuba: eSierra de los Órganos, eCiénaga de Zapata, eSierra del Escambray nakwiintaba zeSierra Maestra.
Kuhlala kusithiwa nguTocororo intaka ethuleyo. Uchitha ixesha elininzi ngemini exhomekeke kwisebe, intamo yakhe ijonge ezantsi, elele. Ngapha koko, iyazisondeza kuphela, kulapho ibonisa ukuba iyakwazi ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya ngokukhawuleza kunye nokuhamba ngokukhawuleza. Itya iziqhamo kunye nezinambuzane ezincinci.
Olona phawu canto (eyaziwayo "ukuya-co-ro-ro"), edla ngokuhamba kunye nokukhotha kunye nokuntyiloza. Kwi i vidiyo ukusuka phezulu ungasivuyela esi sandi sahlukile.
Los imikhwa yokuzalela yale ntaka banomdla. Imazi yaseTocororo izalela amaqanda phakathi kwenyanga ka-Epreli nekaJulayi, ihlala ikho kumaqanda ama-3 okanye ama-4. Eyona nto ikhwankqisayo ngumkhwa wabo wokubeka kwindlwana zabanye abantu, ngokubanzi ezo zeengcongconi. Amaqanda afukanywe ngokungacaciswanga ngabesilisa nabasetyhini. Emva kokuzalwa, umsebenzi wokondla abancinci kwabelwana ngawo phakathi kwesini kunye nesini.
Ukukhuselwa nolondolozo
Urhulumente waseCuba wavuma umthetho ngo-1999 owawuthintela ukuzingela nokubanjwa kweTocororo. Nangona olu hlobo lungekho emngciphekweni okanye lusongelwa ngokuphela, luthathwa njenge ikhusele intaka engaqhelekanga.
Ngayiphi na imeko, le nqanaba lokhuseleko lomthetho lingumfuziselo wento ebonakalayo, kuba iTocororo yenye yezona zilwanyana zithandwayo nehlonitshwayo zezilwanyana zelizwe. Abantu baseCuba bayamthanda uTocororo kungekuphela ngobuhle bayo kunye nengoma yayo, kodwa nayo ubume bayo njengeNtaka yeSizwe, uphawu lwesazisi saseCuba. Ukulimaza ezi zilwanyana kuthathwa njengento engekho emthethweni kwilizwe.
