Nthawi zambiri zimakhala pansi kapena kukwera tchire lotsika. Njoka zosalala zosalala zimawonongeka padzuwa kapena kubisala pansi pamiyala, zipika ndi zinyalala zina.
Malo okhalamo amtunduwu amaphatikizanso madambo audzu, minda yonyowa m'mbali mwa nkhalango, madera okhala ndi tchire lamapiri, malire amtsinje, nkhalango zotseguka, madera osiyidwa, matalala. Pakubisala, njoka izi zimakwera m'ziswe.
Zizindikiro zakunja kwa njoka yosalala yaudzu.
Smooth Grass ili ndi thupi lokongola, lowala bwino kwathunthu kumtunda. Mtundu uwu umawubisa bwino m'malo okhalamo. Mutu ndi wokulirapo pang'ono kuposa khosi, wobiriwira pamwambapa ndi woyera pansipa. Mimbayo ndi yoyera mpaka chikasu. Nthawi zina mumakumana ndi njoka zofiirira. Masikelo akhungu ndi osalala. Kutalika kwathunthu kwa thupi kumakhala masentimita 30 mpaka 66. Amuna nthawi zambiri amakhala ocheperako kuposa akazi, koma amakhala ndi michira yayitali. Njoka zoswedwa kumene ndi zazitali masentimita 8.3 mpaka 16.5 ndipo sizikhala zowoneka bwino kuposa achikulire, nthawi zambiri zimakhala zobiriwira ngati azitona kapena zamtundu wabuluu. Njoka zosalala bwino ndi njoka zopanda vuto lililonse, sizili ndi poizoni.
Kubalana kwa njoka yosalala yaudzu.
Njoka zosalala zimaswankhana kumapeto kwa chilimwe. Zimaswana chaka chilichonse. Zazikazi zimayala kuyambira Juni mpaka Seputembara 3 mpaka 13 mazira oyenda mozungulira muming'alu yosaya, pazomera zowola, kapena pansi pa mitengo kapena miyala. Nthawi zina zazikazi zingapo zimaikira mazira pachisa chimodzi nthawi imodzi. Ziweto zimapezeka mu Ogasiti kapena Seputembala. Kukula kumatenga masiku 4 mpaka 30. Izi zimachitika makamaka chifukwa cha kuthekera kwazimayi kukweza mazira akadali mthupi lawo. Kukula mwachangu kumakwaniritsidwa chifukwa akazi amatha kukhalabe ndi kutentha koyenera kwamazira, motero kuwonetsetsa kuti mazirawo akukhala ndi moyo. Njoka zosalala zosalala sizisamalira anawo. Njoka zazing'ono zimaswana mchaka chachiwiri chamoyo.

Khalidwe la njoka yosalala yaudzu.
Njoka zazitsamba zosalala zimagwira kuyambira Epulo mpaka Okutobala ndipo nthawi zambiri zimakhala zokha. M'nyengo yozizira, amabisala m'magulu ndi njoka zina, kuphatikiza mitundu ina ya njoka. Malo obisalapo malo amakhala m'malo amphepete ndi maenje omwe anasiya makoswe. Njoka zosalala zosalala zimagwira ntchito kwambiri masana, ngakhale zimasaka kwambiri m'mawa ndi madzulo, makamaka nthawi yotentha.
Mtundu wowala wobiriwira wobiriwira umaphimba njokayo nthawi zambiri.
Amathamanga komanso mwachangu, akawopsa, amatha kuluma, koma amaluma ndikugwedeza mchira wawo, ngati akuponderezedwa, nthawi zambiri amakweza adani ndi madzi onunkhira.
Monga njoka zina, njoka zobiriwira zosalala zimadalira kwambiri mphamvu yawo ya kununkhiza, kuwona, ndi kuzindikira kuti ayambe kupeza nyama. Anthuwa amalankhulana pogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala.
Kudya njoka yosalala yaudzu.
Njoka zosalala bwino zimadyetsa makamaka tizilombo. Amakonda ziwala, njenjete, mbozi, nkhono, slugs. Amadyanso akangaude, ma millipedes, ndipo nthawi zina amphibiya.
Ntchito yachilengedwe ya njoka yosalala yaudzu.

Kuteteza njoka yosalala yaudzu.
Njoka zosalala zosalala zikuchepa manambala kulikonse ndipo zikuwonongeka pang'onopang'ono ponseponse. Ngakhale akuyimiridwa ndi kuchuluka kwakukulu, anthu achikulire onse sakudziwika, koma amapitilira 100,000.
Kufalitsa, malo opangira, kubwereza kapena kuchuluka kwa anthu, kuchuluka kwa anthu mwina kumakhala kokhazikika kapena kuchepa pang'onopang'ono (ochepera 10% pazaka 10 kapena mibadwo itatu).
Njoka zosalala zosalala zimaopsezedwa kuti zitha kuwonongeka kwa malo okhala ndi kuwonongeka chifukwa cha zochitika za anthu komanso kusintha kwa nkhalango, koma mitundu yonseyo siziopsezedwa kwenikweni. Zifukwa zazikulu zomwe njoka zaudzu zimasowa m'malo okhala ndikuwononga malo okhala komanso kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala ophera tizilombo. Zakudya zazikulu za njoka zimakhala ndi tizilombo, zomwe zimawonongedwa ndi mankhwala ophera tizilombo. Chifukwa chake, njoka zobiriwira zosalala ndizowopsa makamaka ku tizirombo, tomwe timapopera m'midzi. Njoka yamtunduwu imapezeka m'malo osungirako zachilengedwe angapo. Njoka zosalala zosalala zidalembedwa kuti ndizosavomerezeka ndi IUCN.
