El UTocororo ingaphezu nje kwenyoni inyoni yesizwe ye Cuba. Lokhu kusho ukuthi iyingxenye yezimpawu zikazwelonke zaleli lizwe zihlangene nembali yovemvane, intende yasebukhosini noma ifulegi laseCuba uqobo lwayo, iDemajagua ethandwayo.
Igama lesayensi lalesi silwane esiyigugu ngu I-Priotelus temnurus futhi kungokomndeni ofanayo nowe-quetzal. Kodwa-ke, esiqhingini kwaziwa njenge-tocororo noma futhi njenge umbala. Leli gama lisuselwa emsindweni wengoma yabo, i-onomatopoeia yayo engakhiqizwa kanjena: «to-co-ro-ro». Ezingxenyeni ezithile zesiqhingi, ikakhulukazi engxenyeni esempumalanga, yaziwa ngegama le- i-guatiní, igama lomsuka weTaino.
Ngokombono we-ornithological kuyinhlobo ethakazelisa kakhulu, ngoba iyi indemism. I-tocororo ihlala eCuba kuphela: esiqhingini esikhulu, nakwezinye iziqhingi ezincane njenge IGuanaja Cay, Isla de la Juventud y Sabinal Cay.
Kungani uTocororo ethathwa njengenyoni kazwelonke yaseCuba? Izizathu zimbili:
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izimpaphe zayo zokubukisa zinayo imibala efanayo nefulegi laseCuba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kwenzeka lokho akunakwenzeka ukuba nale nyoni ekuthunjweni. Lapho uTocororo evalelwe ikamu, uyayeka ukucula, ayeke ukudla, alahlekelwe izimpaphe zakhe eziyigugu futhi avunyelwe ukuthi afe kancane. Lesi sici sahunyushwa njengobuhle: uTocororo uyayithanda inkululeko futhi bekungamela umoya wamahhala wabantu baseCuba.
Izici zikaTocororo
ITocororo yinyoni enesilinganiso esiphakathi ubude obuphakathi kwamasentimitha angama-27 kuya kwangama-29. Umsila wayo mude, ulinganisa cishe ngokufana nawo wonke umzimba. Ngezimpiko ezeluliwe le nyoni ingafinyelela cishe kumasentimitha angama-40 ngobubanzi bamaphiko.
Imibala yezimpaphe zikaTocororo iyefana neyefulegi laseCuba
Umsila kaTocororo wakhiwe ngezimpaphe ezinde, ezicijile ezenza ukuphela kwawo kube sesisejini. Amehlo abo abomvu, kanti uqhwaku lumnyama phezulu kanti lubomvu phansi. Uzipho lwazo luyafana nolwezinyoni zomndeni wakwaTrogonidae
Into egqame kakhulu ngesici somzimba sikaTocororo izimpaphe zalo ezimibalabala. Phezulu nangemuva kwekhanda layo kuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka-violet, kanti emuva nomsila kuluhlaza okotshani futhi kuyacwebezela. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izimpaphe entanyeni nasesifubeni zimhlophe noma mpunga okhanyayo, kepha isisu nesisekelo somsila kubomvu ngokugqamile. Lokhu ukwakheka kwe-chromatic kwezimpaphe zabesilisa. Izinsikazi ziyabonakala ngoba isifuba saso sibomvu, hhayi esimhlophe esifana nesabesilisa. Lokhu empeleni kuwukuphela komehluko wokuziphatha phakathi kwabobulili obubili.
Kukhona ama-subspecies amabili kusuka eTocororo eCuba:
- I-Priotelus temnurus temnurus, esivame kakhulu futhi sisakazeke kuso sonke isiqhingi.
- I-Priotelus temnurus vescus, ahlelwa okokuqala ngqa ngo-1905 futhi azinza kuphela e-Isle of Youth. Iyafana namanye ama-subspecies, yize ubukhulu bayo buncane.
Indawo nemikhuba kaTocororo
ITocororo ikhona cishe emahlathini ezwe lonke, yize kulula ukuyithola kulawo anamaqabunga amaningi futhi anezihlahla ezinemiqhele ephezulu. Iningi kakhulu ku- ingxenye esempumalanga yeCuba: eSierra de los Órganos, eCiénaga de Zapata, eSierra del Escambray nasezintabeni zeSierra Maestra.
Kuyaye kuthiwe uTocororo inyoni ethule. Uchitha isikhathi esiningi sosuku encike egatsheni, intamo yakhe ikhonjwe phansi, ezolile. Eqinisweni, ihamba kuphela ukuzondla, kulapho ikhombisa khona ukuthi iyakwazi ukuhamba ngezindiza okusheshayo nokunyakaza kwe-agile. Idla izithelo nezinambuzane ezincane.
Isici sayo uqobo canto (i- "to-co-ro-ro" edumile), evame ukuhambisana nokukhotha nokuklabalasa. Kuhlelo ividiyo kusuka phezulu ungawazisa lo msindo oyingqayizivele.
I-Los imikhuba yokuzalanisa yale nyoni banelukuluku lokwazi. Insikazi yakwaTocororo izalela amaqanda phakathi kwenyanga ka-Ephreli noJulayi, ihlale izalelwe amaqanda amathathu noma amane. Into egqame kakhulu umkhuba wabo wokubeka izidleke zabanye abantu, imvamisa lezo zezingodo. Amaqanda afukanyelwa ngokungaqondakali kokubili owesilisa nowesifazane. Ngemuva kokuzalwa, umsebenzi wokondla abasha uphinde wabelwane phakathi kwabesilisa nabesifazane.
Ukuvikelwa nokongiwa
Uhulumeni waseCuba wagunyaza umthetho ngo-1999 owawenqabela ukuzingelwa nokubanjwa kweTocororo. Yize lolu hlobo lungekho engcupheni noma lusongelwa ngokuqothulwa, kubhekwa njenge- kuvikelwe inyoni exotic.
Kunoma ikuphi, lesi silinganiso sokuvikelwa kwezomthetho sifanekisela ukwedlula okusebenzayo, ngoba iTocororo ingenye yezilwane ezithandwa kakhulu futhi ezihlonishwayo zezilwane zezwe. Abantu baseCuba bathanda uTocororo hhayi ngobuhle bayo kuphela nengoma yayo, kodwa futhi nangenxa ye isimo sayo njengeNyoni Kazwelonke, uphawu lobunikazi baseCuba. Ukulimaza lezi zilwane kubhekwa njengecala ezweni.
