Dendrocygna arborea.<\/p>\n
El pato silbador cubano, tambi\u00e9n conocido como pato silbador antillano por muchos ornit\u00f3logos, es una ave tropical de patas largas que se posa en los \u00e1rboles de forma \u00fanica, a diferencia de otras especies. Es el pato silbador m\u00e1s grande de la especie y no migra. Los machos y las hembras tienen un plumaje similar con patas largas. Esta especie de pato es m\u00e1s activa durante la noche. Su dieta silvestre consiste en materia vegetal, especialmente el fruto de la palma real. Es una especie m\u00e1s tranquila y silenciosa, y se recomienda para quienes se dedican a la avicultura y disfrutan de la observaci\u00f3n de patos salvajes.<\/p>\n
Distribuci\u00f3n: Originaria de Puerto Rico, Cuba y varias islas de las Indias Occidentales, prefiere un clima m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido. Sin embargo, con un refugio y calor adecuados, puede aclimatarse a otros entornos cuando lo necesite. Su h\u00e1bitat son manglares y zonas pantanosas.<\/p>\n
Estado en estado salvaje: Los patos silbadores cubanos est\u00e1n catalogados como vulnerables en este momento debido a que sus tierras se utilizan con fines de caza.<\/p>\n
Estado en la avicultura: Debido a su comportamiento d\u00f3cil, el pato silbador cubano se cr\u00eda en cautiverio y ocasionalmente se encuentra disponible en la avicultura.<\/p>\n
Reproducci\u00f3n e incubaci\u00f3n: La temporada de reproducci\u00f3n de los patos silbadores cubanos va de mayo a septiembre. Ponen entre 6 y 10 huevos, que se incuban durante 30 d\u00edas. Se trata de una especie muy singular, ya que son mon\u00f3gamos de por vida. Esto significa que forman un v\u00ednculo de pareja y permanecen juntos durante muchos a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
Esperanza de vida: Son una especie relativamente longeva pero no muy prol\u00edfica en su reproducci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Peso maduro: Tanto los machos como las hembras tienen un peso promedio de 2,5 libras.<\/p>\n
Requisitos de vivienda: Se recomienda una zona cercada. Los patos est\u00e1n atados para que no puedan volar. Se prefiere un nido elevado de madera para sus nidos y algunos dormideros, ya que esta especie suele dormir. Tambi\u00e9n se necesitan arbustos y plantas.<\/p>\n
Notas: Este pato tambi\u00e9n se conoce con el nombre de pato silbador de pico negro o Dendrocygna arborea.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
