He aha ke ʻano o nā chameleons?
He mau mea kolo ka Chameleons a ua like me ka moo: he kino lōʻihi ko lākou, ʻehā wāwae, a he huelo lōʻihi. ʻO nā ʻano liʻiliʻi he ʻekolu a me ka hapa kenimika wale nō ke kiʻekiʻe, ʻo ka mea nui loa a hiki i hoʻokahi mika ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka piko ma ke kua a me ka hoʻonui ʻana e like me ka mahiole ma ke poʻo. He mau pepeiaohao liʻiliʻi ko kekahi ma ko lākou ihu.
ʻAʻole kānalua ko lākou mau maka: nui lākou, puka mai ke poʻo e like me nā pōpō liʻiliʻi, a hiki ke neʻe i nā ʻaoʻao like ʻole me ke kūʻokoʻa. Me lākou, hiki i kekahi mau ʻano ke ʻike maopopo a hiki i hoʻokahi kilomita. No ka mea paʻakikī ka papa luna o ka ʻili scaly, ʻaʻole hiki ke ulu. No laila, pono nā Chameleons e hoʻokahe mau i ko lākou ʻili. I mea e maʻalahi ai ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i kā lākou pūpū kahiko, ʻānai pinepine nā holoholona i nā lālā a i ʻole nā pōhaku.
Hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻia nā Chameleons i ke ola ma nā kumulāʻau. Hiki iā lākou ke paʻa maikaʻi i loko o ka makani makani no ka mea ua hoʻololi ʻia ko lākou mau lima a me nā wāwae i mau pine maoli: Ua hui pū ʻia nā manamana wāwae a me nā manamana lima i ʻelua a ʻekolu.
ʻO ka pūʻolo me nā manamana wāwae ʻekolu a i ʻole nā manamana lima e kuhikuhi i loko, ʻo kekahi me ʻelua i waho. He mea paʻa ka huelo: hiki iā ia ke hoʻopili iā ia iho a puni nā lālā a hoʻopaʻa pū i ka holoholona. ʻO ia ke kumu paʻa loa a ʻaʻole hiki ke haki a ulu hou, e like me nā moʻo ʻē aʻe.
Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā kāne a me nā wahine e ka kuʻekuʻe wāwae: he hoʻonui kēia ma ke kua o ka wāwae i nā kāne wale nō. ʻO kekahi o nā chameleons kaulana loa ma Madagascar ʻo ia ka panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis). ʻO nā kāne he 40 a 52 kenimika ka lōʻihi, ʻo nā wahine a hiki i 30 kenimika.
Ma muli o ko lākou wahi i hele mai ai, ʻokoʻa loa ke kala. He ʻōmaʻomaʻo nā kāne a hiki i ka turquoise a loaʻa ka māmā, i kekahi manawa ʻulaʻula ma nā ʻaoʻao o ke kino. ʻAʻole ʻike pinepine ʻia nā wahine. ʻOiai ua loaʻa mua nā kāmele panther ma Madagascar, ua hoʻolauna pū nā kānaka iā lākou i nā mokupuni ʻo Mauritius a me La Réunion, e waiho ana ma ka hikina o Madagascar ma ka moana ʻĀina.
Ma hea kahi e noho ai nā kāmele?
Aia nā Chameleons ma ka honua kahiko, ʻo ia hoʻi ma ʻApelika, ma ka hema o ʻEulopa, a ma ka hema a me ke komohana hema o Asia. He poʻe noho lāʻau nā Chameleons: noho nui lākou ma nā lālā o nā kumulāʻau a me nā kumu lāʻau, i kekahi manawa ma lalo o ka ulu lāʻau. Hoʻololi ʻia nā ʻano mea e noho ana ma nā wahi liʻiliʻi nā mea kanu e noho ma ka honua.
He aha nā ʻano chameleon ma laila?
Aia ma kahi o 70 mau ʻano chameleon. Noho ka nui o nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole ma ka mokupuni ʻo Madagascar ma waho o ke kahakai hikina hikina o ʻApelika.
Ehia mau makahiki o ka chameleons?
Noho ʻo Chameleons i ka terrarium no ʻehā a ʻelima mau makahiki. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ko lākou mau makahiki i ke ʻano.

Pehea e ola ai nā kāmele?
ʻIke ʻia nā Chameleons no ko lākou hiki ke hoʻololi i ke kala. ʻAʻole ia e pili ana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka lepo a ʻike ʻole ʻia e nā ʻenemi. Akā, hōʻike nā chameleons inā he huhū a huhū paha lākou, a i ʻole he ʻoi aku ka ikaika a i ʻole ka nāwaliwali o ke kāne e hoʻopaʻapaʻa ana me ka mea hoʻokūkū.
No laila, he pani ka kala no ka ʻōlelo i loko o nā chameleons. Eia kekahi, hoʻololi ke kala o kekahi mau chameleons ma muli o ka manawa o ka lā: ʻoi aku ka mālamalama o ka pō ma mua o ke ao. ʻAʻole hiki i nā ʻano chameleon a pau ke lawe i nā kala āpau. Ua nele kekahi i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻulaʻula kekahi. Ke hoʻololi ke kala, hoʻololi pinepine nā mea kolo liʻiliʻi i ke ʻano.
No ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana i nā hoa paio, hoʻonui kekahi iā lākou iho a kokoke i ka pōʻai, a ʻo nā poʻe ʻē aʻe he lobes poʻo nui i hiki iā lākou ke kūkulu. He loers maoli ka Chameleons a ʻaʻohe kāne a wahine paha.
He ʻāina paʻa ko kēlā me kēia holoholona i pale ikaika ʻia mai nā kāmele ʻē aʻe. Ma laila nō hoʻi ko lākou wahi paʻa e hiamoe ai, kahi e piʻi ai lākou i nā wahi lā i ke kakahiaka e hoʻomaha ai.
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻo Chameleons i ka wikiwiki: maʻamau lākou e noho hūnā ma waena o nā lālā a hiki iā ʻoe ke kū pololei i mua o lākou me ka ʻike ʻole iā lākou. He mālie loa ko lākou neʻe ʻana, haʻalulu i hope a i waho i ko lākou hele ʻana. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o kēia i nā ʻenemi ke ʻike aku no ka mea ua like lākou me ka lau e ʻoluʻolu ana i ka makani.
ʻO nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻenemi o ka chameleon
ʻOiai ke hoʻāʻo nei nā chameleons e ʻike ʻole a hoʻohana i ka camouflage, i kekahi manawa hāʻule lākou i nā manu.
Pehea e hānau ai nā kāmele?
ʻOiai i ka wā male, hōʻike ʻia nā chameleons i nā loner hakakā. A laila hakakā nui nā kāne no ka wahine, akā hakakā pū kekahi me nā kāne a me nā wahine - i kekahi manawa i ka wā o ka male!
