Mexico, monga tikudziwira, ili ndi imodzi mwa zomera ndi zinyama zolemera kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, chuma chomwe chimafunikira kwambiri malo ake kuposa kukula kwake. Komabe, kuti palibe dziko padziko lapansi lomwe lili ndi mitundu yambiri ya zokwawa monga zathu sizofala kwambiri. Kodi alipo angati ndendende? Palibe amene akudziwa mpaka pano. Akafunsidwa ndi katswiri pankhaniyi, adzanena kuti pali pafupifupi 760, chiwerengero chofanana ndi mitundu ya zokwawa zomwe zasankhidwa mwasayansi. Koma zowonadi zake ndizochulukirapo, popeza chaka ndi chaka mitundu yatsopano imapezeka ndipo, mwachilengedwe, komanso mitundu ina ya nyama.
Pankhani ya zokwawa, ambiri a iwo ndi saurians osati njoka zodzionetsera, pafupifupi zosafunikira, zobisala m'malo obisika, zomwe mpaka pano zatha kuthawa anthu. Izi ndizochitika nyama zomwe zimakhala m'malo ambiri am'mapiri aku Mexico zomwe mwana sangakwanitse. Kumbali inayi, sizimayembekezeredwa kuti pakadali zokwawa zolusa kapena zowonetsa zomwe sizingadziwike mpaka pano. Koma alipo! Chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri chaperekedwa ndi a Gunther Koehler, a Herpetologist waku Germany omwe mu 1994 adapeza kumwera kwa Campeche saurian wosadziwika mpaka pano, wamtundu wa Ctenosaura, wotchedwa iguana wakuda.
Koehler, katswiri wa gulu la iguana, adalitcha Ctenosaura alfredschmidti polemekeza mnzake komanso wolimbikitsa zamankhwala, Alfred Schmidt.
Pakadali pano, Ctenosaura alfredschmidti imangodziwika kuchokera komwe idapezeka koyamba, ndiye kuti, pafupi ndi mseu waukulu womwe umachokera ku Escárcega kupita ku Chetumal. Moyo wawo komanso miyambo yawo sikudziwika kwenikweni. Ctenosaura alfredschmidti amakhala m'mitengo ndipo samakonda kukwawa pansi. M'malo mwake amachokera kuti "chinkhanira" chifukwa amadziwika kuti ndi owopsa.
"Chinkhanira" chimakwana 33 cm, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti siyokulirapo kuposa mitundu ikuluikulu yamtundu wake, yomwe imatha kupitirira mita imodzi yonse. Mwa onsewo "chinkhanira" mosakayikira ndiye wokongola kwambiri. Chochititsa chidwi ndi mchira wake waufupi, wokutidwa ndi mamba ang'onoting'ono, omwe amagwiritsa ntchito mwamphamvu pobisalira, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zisakhale zotheka kutuluka pamenepo. Mtundu wa thupi lake umasiyananso ndi ma iguana ena onse, kupatula abale ake apamtima, woteteza Ctenosaura iguana, yemwe ngati "chinkhanira" amakhala mchigawo cha Yucatan chokha ndipo amadziwika kuti "chop" .
Mwambiri, "chinkhanira" ndi iguana yoteteza Ctenosaura ndizofanana kwambiri, ngakhale pali kusiyana pakati pawo malinga ndi moyo wawo. Pomwe oyamba amakhala mumitengo, "chop" amakhala m'mabowo opapatiza m'matanthwe, pafupi ndi nthaka.
"Chinkhanira" chachimuna ndi chokongola kwambiri. Mutu wake, mchira, ndi miyendo yake yakumbuyo zimawala malachite wabuluu, pomwe kumbuyo kwake kuli kwakuda kutsogolo, komanso kumbuyo kwake kumakhala kofiira kofiira kapena kofiira. Imatha kusintha mtundu wake mofulumira ngati bilimankhwe. Pochoka pamalo obisalapo m'mawa, "chinkhanira" chimawoneka chosalimba, koma thupi lake likamayamba kutentha ndikuyamba kugwira ntchito, limakhala ndi utoto wokongola, wonyezimira.
"Chinkhanira" chachikazi, chamtundu wa bulauni, chimakhala chodzionetsera pang'ono kuposa chachimuna komanso chaching'ono. Monga mitundu yonse ya Ctenosaura, "chinkhanira" chimakhala ndi zikhadabo zolimba, zakuthwa zomwe zimalola kuti ikwere mosavuta mitengo yayitali kwambiri.
Nthawi zambiri "chinkhanira" ndi chokhacho chokhala mkati mwa dzenje lake. Wamwamuna ndi wamkazi nthawi imodzi amatha kugona mumtengo womwewo, ngakhale ali dzenje lina. Mtunduwu umakhala usiku ndipo masana ambiri uli mumtsinje wake, m'mimba mwake mulitali mokwanira kuti ungalowe ndikutuluka popanda vuto. Komabe, kukula kwake kukuwongolera kusintha kwa malo ake pafupipafupi. Pobisalira imangoyenda kutsogolo, kulola mchira wake kutsekereza kulowa mdzenjemo, ndikupangitsa kuti kukhala kosatheka kwa adani omwe angaukire.
Mpweya ukuwotha, "chinkhanira" chimatuluka m dzenje lake kuti chisangalalire ndi dzuwa. Thupi lanu likafika kutentha koyenera, zimakhala ndi ntchito yofunafuna chakudya cha tsiku ndi tsiku. Amadyetsa, monga mtundu wake wonse, pazomera, ndiye kuti, pamasamba a mtengo womwe umakhala, ndipo nthawi zina amaperekanso tizilombo ndi tizilombo tina tating'onoting'ono. M'malo mwake, mtundu uwu, muubwana wawo, umafuna chakudya chokhala ndi mapuloteni ambiri kuti akule, chifukwa chake mgawoli ndi wodya kwambiri.
Ponena za kubalana kwa "chinkhanira", njira zake sizikudziwika. Mwachitsanzo, "chop" imayika kamodzi pachaka, nthawi zambiri mu Epulo, mazira awiri kapena atatu, ndipo mpaka Juni ndiye kuti iguana yaying'onoyo imaswa. Ndizotheka kuti kubalana kwa "chinkhanira" ndikofanana ndi "kuwaza" ndikosavuta kuti onse ndi abale apafupi kwambiri.
Campeche "scorpion" ndi ya banja lalikulu komanso losiyanasiyana la iguana (Iguanidae) ndipo siligwirizana kwenikweni ndi ma saurians amtundu wa Heloderma, omwe amadziwika kuti kwawo ndi "chinkhanira". Mitundu yonse iŵiri, Heloderma horridum ndi Heloderma suspectum, ndiwo okhawo okhala ndi saurians woopsa m'banja lomwelo (Helodermatidae) ndipo amakhala mdera la Pacific, lomwe limachokera kumwera chakumadzulo kwa United States (Heloderma suspectum), kudutsa ku Mexico konse, mpaka Guatemala (Heloderma horridum). Sizachilendo kuti "zinkhanira" zonse zimakhala ndi adani achilengedwe ochepa. Ctenosaura alfredschmidti siyowopsa ngati msuweni wake, koma imatha kuluma kwambiri, ngakhale ili yayikulu kukula, ndikupangitsa zilonda zakuya. Kuphatikiza apo, nthawi zonse imakhala tcheru ndipo siyimangobisalira komwe imabisala. Monga wokhala pamtengo amasamalira mbalame zodya nyama.
Mosakayikira munthu ndiye amene akuopseza kwambiri chokwawa choyambachi choyambirira. Zochepa ndizodziwika za "chinkhanira" komabe kuti tinganene kuti kukhalapo kwake kuli pachiwopsezo. Ngakhale imangodziwika kuchokera komwe idachokera, titha kuyerekezera kuti Campeche ndiyotakata. Komabe, zomwe zimawopseza kupulumuka kwake, mbali imodzi, ndikuchotsa pang'onopang'ono nkhalango zomwe zimakhalamo, ndipo mbali inayo, kusonkhanitsa nkhuni mosasunthika pafupi ndi matawuni, komwe kumaphatikizapo nkhalango zakale komanso zokuta. mitengo komwe imabisala.
Kuti mutetezedwe mokwanira ndi "chinkhanira" ndikofunikira koposa zonse kuphunzira za moyo wake ndi magawidwe ake. Ndikofunikanso kudziwitsa anthu am'deralo zakusavulaza kwake komanso kufunikira kwakutetezedwa ngati mtundu. Kupanda kutero, zingakhale zamanyazi ngati wokhala wapadera komanso wosowa ku Mexico atasowa kwamuyaya, musanakhale ndi mwayi wokumana naye.
