Introduction: He aha nā ʻeke siafu?
ʻO nā ʻanu Siafu, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka mea hoʻokele a i ʻole safari ants, he ʻano ʻano ʻano ant i loaʻa ma lalo o Saharan Africa. ʻIke ʻia kēia mau ʻanuʻu no kā lākou ʻano hoʻomāinoino a me kā lākou hoʻouka kaua ʻana, e hoʻolilo iā lākou kekahi o nā iniseti makaʻu loa ma ʻApelika. ʻO nā ʻupena Siafu he mau pepeke pilikanaka e noho ana ma nā ʻāpana nui, me ka mōʻīwahine e waiho ana i 500,000 mau hua i kēlā me kēia mahina.
Anatomy a me ka ʻano o nā ʻona siafu
Hōʻike ʻia nā ʻanuʻu Siafu e ko lākou mau manamana lima nui a ʻoi a lākou e hoʻohana ai no ka hopu pio ʻana a pale i ko lākou kolone. He makapō kēia mau ʻanuʻu, a hilinaʻi nui lākou i nā pheromones e kamaʻilio pū kekahi me kekahi. He nomadic ko Siafu, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻohe o lākou pūnana mau, a hoʻoneʻe lākou i ko lākou kolo mai kekahi wahi a i kekahi no ka ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai.
ʻAi anei nā ʻolo siafu i ka ʻiʻo holoholona?
ʻAe, ʻike ʻia ka ʻiʻo siafu e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo holoholona, e like me nā inike, nā mammals liʻiliʻi, a me nā mea kolo. He ʻala ikaika ko kēia mau ʻona a hiki ke ʻike i nā mea pio mai kahi mamao aku. Hana pū nā siafu i kā lākou mea pio, a hiki iā lākou ke wehe i kahi kupapaʻu maʻemaʻe i loko o nā hola.
Hiki anei i na popo siafu ke hana ino i ke kanaka?
ʻAe, hiki i nā ʻupena siafu ke hoʻopōʻino i ke kanaka, a ʻo kā lākou nahu ʻana he ʻeha a pehu. Ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻūlū Siafu no kā lākou hana ʻino, a e hoʻouka lākou i nā mea a lākou i manaʻo ai he mea hoʻoweliweli i ko lākou kolone. Ua ʻike ʻia kēia mau ʻanuʻu i ka hoʻouka ʻana i nā kānaka i hehi ʻole i ko lākou alahele a i ʻole hoʻopilikia i ko lākou pūnana.
Siafu ants a me ko lākou hopena i ka mahiʻai
Hiki i nā kohu Siafu ke loaʻa ka hopena koʻikoʻi i ka mahiʻai, no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke luku i nā mea kanu a hōʻino i nā lako mahiʻai. Hiki i kēia mau ʻanuʻu ke wehe i ka mahina ʻai i loko o nā hola, a hiki i kā lākou nahu ʻana ke hōʻeha i nā holoholona.
Nā moʻolelo o nā ʻona siafu e ʻai ana i ka ʻiʻo kanaka
Ua ʻike ʻia kekahi mau ʻōlelo no ka ʻai ʻana o ka ʻiʻo siafu i ka ʻiʻo o ke kanaka, ʻoiai kakaikahi kēia mau hanana. I ka makahiki 2002, ua pepehi ʻia kekahi kanaka ma Tanzania e nā ʻupena siafu i kona wā e hiamoe ana. I ka makahiki 2017, ua hoʻouka ʻia kahi hui o nā miners ma ka Democratic Republic of Congo e nā ʻupena siafu, a ua hōʻeha nui ʻia kekahi o lākou.
No ke aha e hoʻouka ai nā ʻūlū siafu i ke kanaka?
E hoʻouka kaua ʻo Siafu i nā kānaka inā manaʻo lākou i ka hoʻoweliweli a i ʻole ka pilikia. He manaʻo ikaika ko kēia mau ʻona e pale aku i ko lākou kolone, a e hoʻouka lākou i nā mea a lākou i manaʻo ai he mea hoʻoweliweli.
Pehea e pale aku ai iā ʻoe iho mai ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i ka siafu
No ka pale ʻana iā ʻoe iho mai ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i ka siafu ant, pono e pale i ka hele ʻana ma ko lākou alahele a i ʻole ka hoʻopilikia ʻana i ko lākou pūnana. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā ʻenekona siafu, e neʻe mālie a me ka mālie mai ko lākou alahele a mai hoʻāʻo e pā a pepehi iā lākou. ʻO ke komo ʻana i nā lole pale, e like me ka pālule lōʻihi a me nā kāmaʻa, hiki ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka nahu.
He aha kāu e hana ai inā nahu ʻia ʻoe e nā ʻupena siafu
Inā nahu ʻia ʻoe e nā ʻeke siafu, pono e ʻimi koke i ka lāʻau lapaʻau. Hiki ke ʻeha ka nahu ʻana a hiki ke hoʻoulu ʻia ka pehu, a aia kekahi pilikia o ka maʻi. Hiki ke kōkua i ka ho'ēmi ʻana i ka pehu a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka ʻeha o ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka ʻōpala anu i ka wahi i hoʻopilikia ʻia.
Ka hopena: ʻO ka pōʻino o nā ʻanuʻu siafu i nā kānaka
He ʻano pepeke koʻikoʻi ʻo Siafu i hiki ke hoʻoweliweli i ke kanaka. He mea nui e mālama i ka mālama ʻana i ka wā e noho ana a i ʻole kaʻahele ʻana ma nā wahi i loaʻa ai nā ʻona siafu. Ma ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kā lākou ʻano a me ka hana ʻana e pale aku iā lākou, hiki ke hōʻemi i ka hopena o ka hoʻouka ʻana o ka siafu ant.
