Сальпинготус. Карликовый, трехпалый

Сальпинготус.



Карликовый, трехпалый, трубкоухий, жирнохвостый - и все это он один. Все бе­ды, уродство, которое есть на земле, буд­то специально свалились на него. Он дей­ствительно самый маленький из всех сво­их сородичей, населяющих азиатские пустыни и полупустыни, не больше грец­кого ореха. Этот редчайший уродец - с тремя пальцами на задних лапках, с жир­ным у основания хвостом, похожим на морковку. У "монстра" песчаной пусты­ни уши тоже не как у всех - они имеют форму трубочек. Однако на этом "урод­ство" его не кончается: голова зверька со­ставляет половину туловища, а то и боль­ше, и впечатление такое, что шеи нет, и голова прочно приросла к задней части. Эндемик песчаных пустынь Казахстана удостоен экзотичного названия - сальпинготус крассикауда (латынь). Живет в закрепленных песках, бугристых и рав­нинных.
Как вид, описан был зоологом Вино­градовым в 1924 г. Обнаружен был в гря­довых песках Северного Призайсанья, в междуречье Букони и Кулуджуна. Тушка погибшего зверька найдена была зооло­гом Казахстанской академии наук М.В. Елизарьевой, супругой профессора В.С. Бажанова. Они многие годы впослед­ствии работали в усть-каменогорском пе­динституте. Находка карликового туш­канчика была своего рода сенсацией сре­ди зоологов. Изучением его в зайсанских пустынях занимались ленинградские зо­ологи. Кое-как, что называется, с горем пополам, за многие годы было собрано биологическое и экологическое "досье" об образе жизни маленького и скрытно­го зверька.
Окраска - песочных тонов. Глаза, как у всякого животного, ведущего ночной образ жизни, - крупные. Поражают так­же его "бармалеевские" усищи - вибрис­сы. Они длиннее его самого. Оказалось, что это древнейшее на земле создание, отлично приспособленное к жизни в пус­тынях, обладает еще и писклявым го­лосом. Короткое "Кик - кик!" тушканчик издает только в самых экстремальных случаях, при испуге. Питается сальпинготус семенами трав, молодыми побегами и насекомы­ми. В мае и июле, то есть, дважды самка приносит по три-четыре голых слепых де­теныша.
Распространен зверек по "остров­ным" пескам у Зайсана. Однако, числен­ность его всюду невысокая. Избирает за­крепленные, бугристые или равнинные пески, где находит пищу и убежище. Вра­гов у него много, начиная от ежа и по­лоза, до барсука и волка. Лучший способ защиты для безобидного зверька - зата­ивание. В связи с использованием мест его обитания под пастбища, тушканчик резко сокращает численность.
Удивительно: пойманный только что зверек не понимает даже, что с ним про­исходит. Предложенное угощение, на­пример, бабочку или стрекозу он тут же, прямо на ладони, аппетитно съедает.
Сальпинготус включен в Междуна­родную Красную книгу.

Discovered was in the grâdovyh sands of Northern Prizajsan′â, between the rivers Bukoni and Kuludžuna. The carcass of the animal was found deceased zoologist of the Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences M.v. Elizar′evoj, wife of Professor V.s. Bazhanova. They subsequently worked for many years in Ust-Kamenogorsk Pedagogical Institute. Find dwarf Coney was a kind of sensation among zoologists. Study it in zajsanskih the deserts were engaged in Leningrad zoologists. Something like that is called, with grief in half for many years were collected biological and ecological "dossiers" on the way of life of small and concealed the animal. Colouring and sand tones. Eyes like every animal leading nocturnal, large. Amaze with its "barmaleevskie" usiŝi-whiskers. They are longer than his own.
