非洲水牛:特点和好奇心

非洲水牛:特点和好奇心
William Santos

一般来说,非洲水牛与巴西北部的水牛相比。 在这两者之间,它被认为是更大和更野的。

成年女性身高达到1.60米,体重约600公斤,而成年男性则更大,身高约1.80米,体重约900公斤。

另一个区别是头发的颜色,出生时是棕色,但随着年龄的增长会变成黑色。

此外,雄性和雌性水牛的一个非常显著的特征是头上的角和掉落的耳朵。 而区分雄性和雌性的正是角:它有不同的修剪、形状和大小。

雄性的角很大,可达1.6米,其轮廓在额头下形成一种盾牌。 雌性的角较短,较细,此外还有更大的落差。

最重要的是,要知道非洲水牛是草食性动物,在它生活的地方以牧场为食。 它的主要捕食者是猎人和狮子,为了生存,它们生活在一群中,可以把50到500头水牛聚集在一起。

除了令人印象深刻的特点外,非洲水牛在生活方式方面也是一种有趣的动物,这就是为什么我们在本文中分离出一些关于非洲水牛的好奇心。 看看吧

非洲水牛只在下雨的时候交配和生产

首先,需要注意的是,这些动物的妊娠期比人类要长,大约为11.5个月。 没错,几乎是一整年的时间!

此外,由于非洲水牛对雨天的特殊口味,它们通常在一年的雨季交配,几乎在一年后的另一个雨季生产。

决定畜群方向的雌性。

在牛群行走的过程中,要知道是雌性选择方向,如果雄性违背方向,雌性就会攻击动物。 是它们决定了牛群的方向!

非洲水牛对鸟类有同情心

非洲水牛和鸟类有一种相互的关系。 水牛允许鸟类在其背上休息,鸟类吃苍蝇或其他昆虫,保护水牛免受这些害虫带来的疾病传播。

因此,这两个家庭和谐共处。

他们是相当多的疾病的携带者

正如我们前面所说,即使有鸟类的帮助,非洲水牛也是极易受到虫媒疾病影响的动物。

他们中最常见的疾病之一是昏睡病,由采采蝇引起,导致持续的昏睡和缺乏协调的状态,病情恶化并导致死亡。

此外,一个有趣的事实是,在1890年,由于牛瘟,非洲水牛这个物种有90%的动物被杀。 从那时起,这个物种设法繁殖并从疾病中恢复。

所以专家们仍然担心另一种可能袭击该物种并导致灭绝的害虫。
