Me ko lākou mau pepeiao nunui, ʻano ʻē ke ʻano o nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa: ua like lākou me ke keʻa ma waena o ka ʻīlio a me ka ʻalopeke me nā pepeiao nui loa.
ano
He aha ke ʻano o nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa?
No ka ʻohana ʻīlio nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa a no laila he poʻe ʻaihue. He ʻano primitive loa lākou a ʻoi aku ka pili o ka alopeke ma mua o ka ʻīlio hae. Ua like kona kino me ka huikau o ka ilio a me ka alopeke. He 46 a 66 kenimika ko lākou ana mai ka ihu a lalo a he 35 a 40 kenimika ke kiʻekiʻe. He 30 a 35 kenimika ka lōʻihi o ka huelo puʻupuʻu.
ʻEkolu a ʻelima kilokani ke kaumaha o nā holoholona, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine. ʻIke ʻia ka hulu o nā holoholona he melemele-ʻeleʻele a hina, a i kekahi manawa he ʻeleʻele ko lākou hope ma ko lākou kua. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻonaʻeleʻele ma nā maka a me nā luakini keʻano maʻamau - heʻano hoʻomanaʻo lākou i nā maka o kahi raccoon. He ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele nā wāwae a me ka ʻaoʻao o ka huelo.
ʻO ka mea kupanaha loa, ʻo nā pepeiao a hiki i 13 kenimika ka lōʻihi, aneane ʻeleʻele nā pepeiao. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia nā alopeke pepeiao ʻāʻī ma muli o ka nui o nā niho: aia he 46 a 50 - ʻoi aku ma mua o nā mammal kiʻekiʻe. Eia naʻe, liʻiliʻi nā niho. He hoʻololi kēia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hānai mua nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa i nā inike.
Ma hea kahi e noho ai nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa?
Loaʻa nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻaʻahu ma ʻApelika wale nō, ma ka hikina a me ka hema o ʻApelika. Noho nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa i nā savannas, nā steppes ululāʻau, a me nā wao nahele kahi i loaʻa ai kā lākou meaʻai nui, nā termite. Makemake lākou i nā wahi i ulu ʻole ka mauʻu ma mua o 25 kenimika. ʻO kēia nā ʻāina i ʻai ʻia e nā ʻulaʻula a i ʻole i pau ka mauʻu i ke ahi a ulu hou. Ke lōʻihi ka mauʻu, neʻe ka ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻe i kahi ʻē aʻe.
He aha nā ʻano alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa ma laila?
ʻElua mau ʻano subspecies o nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa: Hoʻokahi ola ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ʻApelika mai ʻApelika Hema ma Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe a hiki i ka ʻaoʻao hema o Angola, Zambia, a me Mozambique. Noho nā subspecies ʻē aʻe mai ʻAitiopa a hiki i Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, a me Tanzania a hiki i ka ʻākau o Zambia a me Malawi.
ʻEhia makahiki o nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa?
Noho nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa ma kahi o ʻelima, i kekahi manawa a hiki i ʻeiwa makahiki. I ka noho pio ʻana, hiki iā lākou ke ola a hiki i 13 mau makahiki.
Hana
Pehea ka noho ʻana o nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa?
Ua hāʻawi nā pepeiao koʻikoʻi i ka ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa i kona inoa. Hōʻike lākou he lohe maikaʻi nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa. Ma muli o ko lākou akamai i ka ʻai nalo, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā nalo, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana ia mau mea e ʻohi ai i nā leo palupalu o kēia mau holoholona i loko o kā lākou lua.
Hāʻawi pū lākou i ka wela o ke kino ma ko lākou mau pepeiao nui. Ke hana nei nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa e pili ana i ka manawa o ka makahiki a me ka ʻāina a lākou e noho ai. Ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ʻApelika, i mea e pakele ai i ka wela nui, maʻa lākou i ka pō i ke kauwela a laila hele e ʻimi i ka meaʻai.
I ka hoʻoilo maʻalili, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, aia lākou i waho i ka lā. Ma ʻApelika hikina, he poʻe pō lākou no ka hapa nui o ka makahiki. ʻO nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa he mau holoholona launa pū a noho i loko o nā pūʻulu ʻohana a hiki i 15 mau holoholona. Haʻalele nā ʻōpio kāne i ka ʻohana ma hope o ʻeono mahina, noho lōʻihi nā wahine a kōkua i ka hānai ʻana i nā keiki hou i ka makahiki aʻe.
ʻAʻohe ʻāpana ʻāina o nā alopeke pepeiao, akā noho lākou ma nā wahi i kapa ʻia he wahi hana: ʻAʻole kaha ʻia kēia mau wahi a hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e nā hui ʻohana e ʻimi ai i ka meaʻai. Hoʻi nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa i nā lua lalo e hoʻomaha a hiamoe a loaʻa kahi malu. ʻEli lākou iā lākou iho a hoʻohana paha i nā lua kahiko i hana ʻia e nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. Hoʻomanaʻo kekahi ʻano o nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa i nā ʻīlio hale: hoʻihoʻi lākou i ko lākou mau pepeiao i ka wā e makaʻu ai lākou, a inā e hoʻokokoke mai ka ʻenemi, hoʻohuhū lākou i ko lākou hulu. Ke hoʻohauʻoli a pāʻani paha, hāpai ʻia ka huelo i luna a i luna i ka wā e hele ai.
ʻO nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻenemi o ka ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa
He nui nā ʻenemi o nā alopeke pepeiao ʻāʻī e like me nā liona, nā hyena, nā leopadi, nā cheetahs, a me nā ʻīlio hihiu ʻApelika. ʻO nā manu ʻaihue e like me nā ʻaeto koa a i ʻole nā boa constrictors e like me nā pythons hiki ke pilikia iā lākou. He mea hoʻoweliweli ʻo Jackals, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā pups.
Pehea e hānau ai nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa?
Noho pālua nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻāʻī, ʻaʻole kakaikahi wale nō ka noho pū ʻana o ʻelua wahine me hoʻokahi kāne. Hānau ʻia nā ʻōpiopio i ka wā e nui ai ka ʻai. Ma ʻApelika Hikina, aia kēia ma waena o ka hopena o ʻAukake a me ka hopena o ʻOkakopa, ma ka hema o ʻApelika a hiki i Dekemaba.
Ma hope o 60 a 70 mau lā, hānau ka wahine i ʻelua a ʻelima, ʻaʻole liʻiliʻi ʻeono ʻōpio. Ma hope o ʻeiwa mau lā wehe lākou i ko lākou mau maka, ma hope o 17 mau lā haʻalele lākou i ka lua no ka manawa mua. Hanai ʻia lākou no ʻehā mahina a kūʻokoʻa ma kahi o ʻeono mahina. Mālama nā mākua ʻelua i nā keiki.
Pehea e kamaʻilio ai nā alopeke pepeiao ʻōpeʻa?
Leo liʻiliʻi wale nō nā ʻalopeke pepeiao ʻoʻa. Hiki paha iā lākou ke hoʻokuʻu i ka ʻuā leo kiʻekiʻe. Kūkākūkā ʻo nā ʻōpio a me nā mākua me nā leo puʻupuʻu e like me ka manu ma mua o ka ʻīlio.
