He mau mammals ka bea. Aia lākou i waena o nā mea ʻaihue. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i ʻelua ʻohana: nā bea nui a me nā bea liʻiliʻi. Ua kapa ʻia nā bea nui "bea maoli".
Ke ʻōlelo lākou i ka bea, ʻo ka bea nui lākou. Hoʻokahi wale nō o lākou i noho pū me mākou: ka bea ʻeleʻele. 'Ōlelo pinepine kekahi iā ia ke'ōlelo wale kekahi i ka bea. A mai poina i ka bea ma ke ʻano he pāʻani, ʻo ia hoʻi he teddy bear.
He aha ke ʻano o nā bea nui?
He poʻo nui ko ka bea maoli, he lima pōkole a he wāwae, a he kino ikaika. He mau maka liʻiliʻi ko ka bea, nā pepeiao poepoe, a me nā manamana lima lima lima ma kēlā me kēia wāwae. He ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele paha ka waihoʻoluʻu ʻaʻahu. I nā hihia kūikawā, hiki i ka bea ke kaumaha a hiki i 800 kilokani. Ua aneane like ia me kahi kaʻa liʻiliʻi.
He mehameha ka bea. Ma kahi o ka hoʻoilo maoli, moe lākou. I ke koena o ka makahiki, moe maʻamau lākou i loko o nā kumu lāʻau lua a i ʻole i loko o nā lua i ka lā. He hana nui lākou i ka pō. ʻAi nui lākou i nā mea a pau e loaʻa iā lākou: ʻaneʻane loaʻa lākou i nā hua, nā hua, a me nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo. ʻAi nō hoʻi lākou i nā pepeke, nā ʻupena, nā ʻuʻuku liʻiliʻi, a me nā ʻiole e like me nā ʻiole a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui. ʻO kēia ka iʻa. I kekahi manawa, hahai lākou i nā holoholona e like me ka dia.
Hui wale ka bea i ka mare a kaawale hou. Hiki i ka hua momona ke kali lōʻihi i loko o ka ʻōpū o ka makuahine ma mua o kona hoʻokomo ʻana a hoʻomaka e ulu. ʻO ka hāpai maoli ʻana ma mua o ʻelua mahina.
Ua inu nā bea liʻiliʻi i ka waiū mai ko lākou makuahine no ʻekolu a ʻeiwa mahina, no laila he mau mammals lākou. Akā ua noho lāua me ko lāua makuahine no ʻelua makahiki. Hiki ke oʻo i ka moekolohe i ka makahiki ʻekolu a ʻeono makahiki, no laila hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa i kā lākou mau keiki ponoʻī. Ma ka nahelehele, ola nā bea a hiki i 20 a 30 mau makahiki, a ma nā zoo a hiki i 50 mau makahiki.
Ma hea kahi e noho ai nā bea nui?
Noho nā bea ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa akā ʻaʻole makemake i nā wahi maloʻo. ʻEwalu ʻano like ʻole o ka bea nui. ʻO ka bea ʻeleʻele ka mea kaulana loa. Noho ʻo ia ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, ʻEulopa, a me ʻAsia. ʻO ka bea grizzly kekahi bea ʻeleʻele. Aia wale ia ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau.
Noho nā bea polar ma ka Arctic a me Greenland. Noho ka bea ʻeleʻele ʻAmelika ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Kanada. Ua manaʻo ʻia aia ma kahi o hoʻokahi miliona mau holoholona i koe.
Noho nā ʻano bea ʻē aʻe ma ka hema: ʻO ka mea kaulana loa ʻo ka panda nunui, aia wale nō ma nā mauna liʻiliʻi ma Kina. Noho ka bea ʻeleʻele, ka bea mole, a me ka bea lā ma Asia.
ʻO ka bea makaʻala wale nō e noho ana ma ʻAmelika Hema. Hoʻoweliweli ʻia, e like me nā ʻano bea ʻē aʻe. Ke lawe nui nei ke kanaka i ka ʻāina mai ona aku. No laila, nalowale kona wahi noho.
Pehea na bea liilii?
ʻO ka nui o nā bea liʻiliʻi he 67 kenimika. No laila ua like lākou me hoʻokahi a ʻelua mau aliʻi. He 12 kilokani ka nui o ka holoholona hookahi. ʻO kekahi o lākou e like me marten ma mua o ka bea.
ʻEleʻele a hinahina paha ko lākou hulu. Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia ka huelo. He ʻokoʻa nā waihoʻoluʻu o kekahi mau bea liʻiliʻi i ko lākou helehelena. He mau pepeiao liʻiliʻi ko lākou ʻōniu a poepoe paha. He ʻelima ko lākou manamana wāwae ma kēlā me kēia wāwae me nā māiʻuʻu pōkole.
Aia nā bea liʻiliʻi i waho i ka pō a i ke ahiahi paha. He ʻokoʻa nā Coatis. Moe lākou i loko o nā māwae pōhaku a i ʻole nā lua lāʻau. Nui nā ʻano ʻano piʻi maikaʻi.
E ʻai nā bea liʻiliʻi i nā mea a pau e loaʻa iā lākou, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea kanu. Makemake nui lākou i nā nati a me nā hua. Aia nō naʻe nā vertebrates liʻiliʻi, nā hua manu, a me nā inike i kekahi manawa.
Ma hea kahi e noho ai nā bea liʻiliʻi?
Aia nā bea liʻiliʻi ma ʻAmelika wale nō. He mea koʻikoʻi ka raccoon: ʻO ka mua ma ka home mai Kanada a Panama. Ma nā ʻāina like ʻole, ua haʻalele ʻia ʻo ia a i pakele paha mai ka noho pio ʻana. I Kelemānia, no ka laʻana, lilo ia i maʻi ahulau a ʻimi ʻia ma laila.
Aia ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ʻAmelika e noho ana ka kinkajou, ʻo ia hoʻi ka bea meli. He ihu ko Coatis e like me ko ka puaʻa. Ua like ke poʻo o ka pōpoki Frette me ko ka ʻalopeke wao nahele. Noho wale nā bea Maci ma kahi wahi liʻiliʻi ma ʻAmelika Waena. He ʻeono genera me 14 mau ʻano bea liʻiliʻi.
