Nemapapiro avo akaisvonaka, akaisvonaka-akafanana nemitsipa nemakwenzi anoyevedza akavezwa, flamingos hapana mubvunzo dzimwe dze shiri dzinonyanya kuzivikanwa dzeAfrica. Kune marudzi matanhatu akasiyana-siyana emuflamingo pasi rose, uye marudzi maviri akasiyana muAfrica - flamingo shoma, uye flamingo huru. Zvose zviviri zveAfrica zvinowanzosiyana zvakasiyana nemuvara kubva kune fuschia yakajeka kusvika kumuchena, zvichienderana nemazinga emabhakitiriya uye beta-carotene mune zvokudya zvavo.
Chimwe chinhu chakasiyana hachina kumbochinja, kunyange-uye iyo ndiyo flamingo yemaitiro okumira pamakumbo maviri.
Nzira dzakawanda dzakasiyana
Mumakore ose aya, masayendisiti uye vanhu vakasiyana-siyana vakaisa pfungwa dzakawanda mune tariro yekutsanangura izvi zvisingaiti. Vamwe vakafungidzirwa kuti flamingos 'kubatanidza chiito chakavabatsira kuderedza kusuruvara kunetseka uye kuneta, nokubvumira rimwe gumbo kuti rizorore apo rimwe racho rinotakura huwandu hwakazara hwehuwandu hweshiri. Vamwe vaifunga kuti zvichida kuva negumbo rimwe chete pasi raireva kuti flamingo yaizokwanisa kubvisa nokukurumidza, saka ichiita kuti zvive nyore kudzivisa zvinogona kuparadza.
Muna 2010, boka revasayendisiti vanobva kuNew Zealand rakapa mberi pfungwa yokuti kumira pane rimwe gumbo kwakanga kuri chiratidzo chekurara. Vakaronga kuti flamingos (sezvakaita dolphin) inogona kubvumira hafu yeuropi dzavo kuti dzarare, pavanenge vachishandisa imwe hafu kuti vachengetedze ziso kune vanodya uye vanochengeta nzvimbo yavo yakarurama.
Kana izvi zvikaitika, flamingos inogona kunge ichinge ichinge ichitsvaga gumbo rimwe chete sokunge kuti rizorore pasi apo imwe hafu yeuropi yavo yakarara.
A Method Yokuramba Yakapisa
Kunyange zvakadaro, dzidziso yakakurumbira pane imwechete ndeye wakaberekerwa nedzidzo dzakawanda dzakaitwa nevanodzidza nezvepfungwa dzepfungwa Matthew Anderson naSara Williams.
Masayendisiti maviri kubva kuSaint Joseph's University muPhiladelphia akapedza mwedzi yakawanda achidzidza kutora flamingos, uye muitiro wakawana kuti zvinotora nguva yakareba kuti flamingo kune rimwe gumbo ribvise pane iro raizoita kune shiri pamakumbo maviri, kunyatsopesana nedzidziso iyoyo. Muna 2009, vakazivisa kupedzisa kwavo - kuti imire-ine mitsipa (kana kuti isina kusvibiswa) ine chokuita nekuchengetedza moto.
Flamingo ndiyo shiri dzinokambaira dzinopedza huzhinji hwehupenyu hwadzo zvishoma nezvishoma dzakanyudzwa mumvura. Ndivo vanopisa firiji, vachishandisa misoro yavo-yakafanana nemitsipa yekudzikisa pasi regungwa re brine shrimp uye algae. Kunyange mumamiriro ezvikanyika ezvikanyika, mararamiro aya emvura anokonzera shiri kuti dzisare kupisa kwekupisa. Nokudaro, kuti kuderedza chill-chikonzero chekuchengeta tsoka dzavo mumvura, shiri dzakadzidza kuenzanisa pamakumbo rimwe panguva. Anderson naWilliam 'nyanzvi inotsigirwa nezvokuti flamingos pavhu rakaoma inowanzosimuka pamakumbo maviri, ichichengetedza zororo rimwe chete munguva yavo mumvura.
Unyanzvi hweMira-Imwe Yakamira
Chero chinangwa che flamingo chinogona kunge chiri, hazvishamisi kuti kumira pamagumbo rimwe tarenda. Nyeredzi dzinogona kuchengetedza kuenzanisa uku kwemaawa kwechinguva panguva, kunyange mumhepo inenge isina simba.
Pakutanga, masayendisiti akawanda aidavira kuti shiri dzinofarira gumbo rimwe pamusoro pomumwe, nenzira yakafanana iyo munhu ari kurudyi kana kuruboshwe. Asi Anderson naWilliams vakawana kuti shiri dzisina kuratidza zvaidiwa, kazhinji dzichitsinhanisa mitsipa yavo. Izvi zvinotsigirawo zvidzidzo zvavo, sezvo zvingaratidza kuti shiri dzinopindurudza makumbo kuitira kuti dzirege kudzivisa imwe kuti ive inotonhora zvikuru.
Kwatingaona Chikoro cheFlamma
Vangave vakamira pamakumbo maviri, makumbo maviri kana kuti vakabatwa mukati mekufamba-famba, vachiona flamingos mumusango chinhu chinoratidzika chisingafaniri kushaikwa. Izvo zvinonakidza zvikuru muzvizhinji, uye nzvimbo yakanakisisa yekuvaona muzviuru zvavo Kenya Rift Valley. Kunyanya, Lake Bogoria neLake Nukuru ndidzo mbiri dzenyika dzinonyanya kuzivikanwa dzekufambisa. Mune imwe nzvimbo, mahwendefa emunyu eWalvis Bay muNamibia anotsigira boka guru rezvikamu zviduku uye zvakanyanya flamingo; sezvinoita Lake Chrissie muSouth Africa, uye Lake Manyara muTanzania.
