Cassowaries ndi mbalame zazikulu zopanda ndege. Ndi anthu apabanja apadera. Dzinalo la mbalameyi, lotembenuzidwa kuchokera ku chilankhulo cha ku Indonesia, limatanthauza "mutu wamanyanga".
Kufotokozera
Masiku ano, pali mitundu itatu ya mbalameyi: wamba kapena wakumwera wa cassowary, muruk ndi khosi lalanje. Ma cassowaries onse amakhala ndi mphanda wa nyanga pamutu pawo, chotchedwa chisoti. Mutu ndi khosi palokha mulibe nthenga ndipo zimakhala ndi khungu labuluu labuluu, ndipo mwa ndolo pakhosi mutha kudziwa mawonekedwe ake. Muruk alibe iyo, mphete yamtundu wa lalanje ili ndi imodzi yokha, ndipo cassowary wamba imakhala ndi iwiri. Nthenga pathupi la cassowary ndi yakuda, pafupifupi yakuda. Miyendo ya mbalamezi ndi yamphamvu kwambiri ndipo ili ndi zala zitatu zomwe pali zikhadabo zowopsa, chowopseza chachikulu ndi chikhomo chamkati (cassowary imatha kupha kamodzi).

Kulemera kwake kwa mbalameyo kumafika makilogalamu 60. Akazi a mitundu iyi ndi okulirapo. Ndizosavuta kusiyanitsa ndi amuna ndi nthenga zawo zowala komanso chisoti chachikulu.
Chikhalidwe
Cassowaries amakhala m'nkhalango. Amakhala okha m'nkhalango yamvula ya New Guinea, komanso kumpoto chakum'mawa kwa Commonwealth ku Australia. N'zochititsa chidwi kuti malo okhala mitundu itatuyo amakhala pang'ono pang'ono, koma mbalame zimayesetsa kupeĊµa kukumana kwakanthawi. Ichi ndichifukwa chake amakhala m'malo ataliatali. Mwachitsanzo, muruk amakhala m'nkhalango zazitali kwambiri; Cassowary ya khosi lalanje imakonda nkhalango pamalo otsika (otsika), pomwe cassowary yakumwera imakonda nkhalango pamtunda wa 1000 mita.
Komanso, cassowary imapezeka pazilumba zoyandikana ndi New Guinea: Aru ndi Seram (pamenepo mutha kupeza cassowary wamba); Muruk adakhazikika kuzilumba za New Britain ndi Yapen; ndipo pachilumba cha Salavati pali ma cassowaries okhala ndi malalanje.
Zomwe zimadya
Zakudya zambiri za cassowary zimakhala ndi zipatso. Kuphatikiza apo, zipatsozo zitha kugwa kapena kubudula kuchokera kuma nthambi apansi amitengo kapena tchire. Makamaka munthawi youma, nkhalango imadzala ndi zipatso zakugwa ndipo ino ndi nthawi yabwino kwambiri ku cassowary.
Pofuna kuthana ndi kuchepa kwa mapuloteni mthupi, cassowaries imaphatikizanso bowa wam'mnkhalango, komanso zokwawa zosiyanasiyana, pazakudya zawo. Mwachitsanzo, njoka, achule ndi abuluzi ang'onoang'ono amapezeka m'mimba mwa cassowary.
Pofuna kupukusa chakudya, ma cassowaries, monga mbalame zina zambiri, amameza miyala yaying'ono (yotchedwa gastroliths).
Adani achilengedwe
M'chilengedwe chake, cassowary ilibe adani chifukwa cha kukula kwake ndi miyendo yamphamvu, zomwe zimapangitsa kukhala mdani wowopsa kwambiri.
Ngakhale chitetezo chodabwitsa, cassowary wamkulu akadali ndi mdani m'modzi - mwamuna. Ndipo izi sizimangogwirizana ndi kudula mitengo mwachisawawa (malo ake achilengedwe). Mitunduyo imasaka cassowaries kufuna nyama yokoma ndi nthenga zokongola. Zovala zimapangidwa ndi nthenga, monga zokongoletsera. Mitu ya mivi imapangidwa ndi zikhadabo zakuthwa komanso zamphamvu, ndipo mafupa a miyendo amagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga zida.
Pokuikira mazira ndi anapiye atsopano, agalu amtchire ndi nkhumba zitha kukhala zowopsa ndipo zitha kuwononga chisa.
Zosangalatsa
- Cassowaries adalowa mu Guinness Book of Records ngati mbalame yowopsa kwambiri padziko lathuli.
- Cassowaries ndizodabwitsa chifukwa chakuti chisamaliro chonse cha ana amtsogolo chimagona ndi champhongo. Choyamba, amatenga chisa kuchokera kumagwere ndi nthambi zake, kenako mkaziyo amaikira mazira angapo obiriwira (kulemera kwake kwa dzira lililonse kumatha magalamu sikisi mazana asanu ndi limodzi mphambu mazana asanu ndi awiri). Kenako yamphongo imawamanga anawo kwa miyezi iwiri, ndipo pambuyo pake pafupifupi chaka chimodzi ndi theka amateteza anawo ndi kuwaphunzitsa kupeza chakudya chawo.
- Cassowaries ndi othamanga abwino. Ngakhale kuti amakhala m'nkhalango, amatha kufika mosavuta pamtunda wa makilomita 50 / h, komanso amatha kudumpha pazitsamba 1.5.
