He vertebrates nā manu, e like me nā mammals, nā iʻa, nā mea kolo, a me nā amphibians. ʻElua mau wāwae a me nā lima ʻelua o nā manu, he ʻēheu. Ma kahi o ka hulu, he hulu ka manu. Hana ʻia ka hulu me ke keratin. Hoʻohana nā holoholona ʻē aʻe i kēia mea e hana ai i nā kiwi, nā maiuu, a i ʻole ka lauoho. No ke kanaka, ʻo ko lākou lauoho a me nā kui.
Hiki i ka hapa nui o nā manu ke lele ma muli o ko lākou mau ʻēheu a me nā hulu. ʻO kekahi, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, hiki ke holo wikiwiki, e like me ka ostrich ʻApelika. ʻO ia nō ka manu nui loa. ʻO nā penguins nā manu hiki ʻole ke lele, akā hiki ke ʻau maikaʻi loa.
He nuku ʻole ko ka manu. Eia naʻe, loaʻa i kekahi mau manu nā ʻāʻī ma ko lākou nuku, kahi e hopu ai i kahi mea like me nā niho. ʻAʻole i hānau ʻia nā manu liʻiliʻi hou, akā hāʻule mai nā hua. Hoʻomoe pinepine nā manu wahine i kēlā mau hua i loko o kahi pūnana i kūkulu ʻia no lākou, a i ʻole ma ka lepo, no ka laʻana. Hoʻomoʻa ka hapa nui o nā manu i kā lākou mau hua. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka noho ʻana ma luna o nā hua i mea e mahana ai a hoʻomalu iā lākou a hiki i ka hāʻule ʻana o nā keiki liʻiliʻi.
A i ʻole, hiki i nā manu ke ʻokoʻa loa. Noho kekahi ma ka wao nahele maloʻo, ʻo kekahi ma ka Arctic a i ʻole Antarctic. ʻAi kekahi i ka ʻiʻo, ʻai kekahi. ʻO ka bee elf ka manu liʻiliʻi loa, he manu humming. ʻO ka manu nui loa hiki ke lele ʻo ia ka kori bustard mai ʻApelika.
Ua iho nā manu mai nā dinosaur. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i lokahi ka ʻepekema e pili ana i ke ʻano o kēia hana. ʻO nā ʻohana pili loa e ola ana nā manu ʻo ia nā crocodiles.
Eia ka ʻike o nā ʻatikala Klexikon āpau e pili ana i nā manu.
Pehea ka ʻai ʻana o nā manu?
He ʻōpū a he ʻōpū ko nā manu. No laila, ua like loa ka ʻai ʻana me ko nā mammals. Ai kekahi mau manu i ka pohaku. Noho lākou i loko o ka ʻōpū a kōkua i ka ʻoki ʻana i ka meaʻai. ʻO kēia ka hana a ka moa, no ka laʻana.
Aia ka ʻokoʻa o ka mimi, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo ka mimi. He puʻupaʻa ko nā manu e like me nā mammals, akā ʻaʻohe o lākou ʻōpū. ʻAʻohe o lākou puka kino kūikawā no ka pipi. Holo ka mimi mai nā puʻupaʻa i loko o ka ʻōpū. Ma laila e hui pū ai me nā feces. ʻO ia ke kumu e ʻino mau ai ka ʻōpala o nā manu.
Kapa ʻia ka puka o ke kino o nā manu he cloaca. Hoʻomoe ka wahine i kāna mau hua ma ka puka like. E kahe ana ka sperm o ke kane ma ka puka like.
Pehea e hānau ai nā manu?
Nui nā manu i nā manawa kiko'ī ke makemake lākou e hānau keiki. Pili kēia i ke kau a hiki ke hana i hoʻokahi a i ʻole mau manawa. Eia naʻe, kūʻokoʻa nā manu ʻē aʻe i kēia, no ka laʻana, kā mākou moa home. Hiki iā ia ke waiho i nā hua a puni ka makahiki.
Ke mākaukau ka wahine e male, kū mālie ʻo ia a lele i kona huelo i luna. Noho ke kane ma ke kua o ka wahine a hamo i kona koloka i ke kua o ka wahine. A laila kahe kāna sperm i loko o ke kino o ka wahine a hoʻomomona i nā hua.
Hiki i ka sperm o ke kāne ke noho i loko o ke kino o ka wahine no ka manawa lōʻihi a hoʻomomona pinepine i nā hua ma laila. Loaʻa nā hua manu i ka pūpū paʻakikī. Hoʻomoe ka hapa nui o nā manu i kekahi mau hua i loko o ka pūnana hoʻokahi. I kekahi manawa, hoʻomohu ka manu makuahine i nā hua, i kekahi manawa ka manu makua, a i ʻole nā mea ʻelua.
Ulu ka moa i ka niho hua ma kona nuku. He kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe kēlā. Me kēia, hoʻokuke ka moa i nā lua ma ka ʻili hua i ka lālani. Ke hohola ia i kona mau ʻēheu, hoʻokuke ʻo ia i nā ʻāpana ʻelua o ka pūpū.
Aia nā manu ʻōpio e haʻalele koke i ka pūnana. Kapa ʻia lākou he precocial. Huli lākou i kā lākou meaʻai ponoʻī mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana. Aia kēia, no ka laʻana, kā mākou moa home. Noho nā moa ʻē aʻe i loko o ka pūnana, ʻo ia ka pūnana. Pono nā mākua e hānai iā lākou a lele i waho, ʻo ia hoʻi ka fledge.
He aha nā mea like ʻole o nā manu?
He puʻuwai like ko nā manu me nā mammals. Eha keena kona. Ma ka ʻaoʻao hoʻokahi, alakaʻi ke kahe ʻelua o ke koko i loko o nā māmā e lawe i ka oxygen hou a hoʻokuʻu i ka carbon dioxide. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, alakaʻi ka pōʻai i ke koena o ke kino. Lawe ke koko i ka oxygen a me ka meaʻai a puni ke kino a lawe pū i ka ʻōpala me ia.
ʻOi aku ka wikiwiki o ka puʻuwai o nā manu ma mua o ko ke kanaka. ʻO ka puʻuwai o ka ostrich ʻekolu manawa ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka manu liʻiliʻi ma ka hale he ʻumikumamālima paha ka wikiwiki, a i kekahi mau manu hummingbirds he iwakālua ka wikiwiki e like me kā mākou.
ʻO ke kino o ka hapa nui o nā manu, ʻo ia ka mahana like, ʻo ia ka 42 degere Celsius. ʻOi aku kēlā ʻelima degere ma mua o ko mākou. He liʻiliʻi nā manu e hoʻolili iki i ka pō, ʻo ka tit nui ma kahi o ʻumi degere.
ʻAʻohe larynx me nā kaula leo o nā manu. Akā he mea like ko lākou, ʻo ia hoʻi ke poʻo hoʻokani e hoʻoheheʻe i ko lākou mau kani.
Nui nā manu he ʻeleʻele kūikawā i kapa ʻia ʻo ka preen gland. Hiki iā lākou ke hūnā i ka momona. Hoʻopili lākou i ko lākou hulu me ia i pale maikaʻi ʻia i ka wai. Aia ka preen gland ma ka hope o ke kua kahi e hoʻomaka ai ka huelo.
