ʻO ka anole ʻōmaʻomaʻo, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka anole ʻulaʻula, he ʻano moʻo i loaʻa ma ka hema hikina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa mai Texas hikina a hiki i ka hema o Virginia. ʻO ka anole ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma kahi o 5 a 8 knm ka lōʻihi, me ka liʻiliʻi o ka wahine. He lōʻihi ko lākou kino a he lohi me ke poʻo haiki a me ka ihu kiko. Hiki i ka huelo ke piʻi i ʻelua ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka hapa nui o ke kino.
ʻO ka anole ʻōmaʻomaʻo kāne he "wumple" ʻulaʻula, a i ʻole ka ʻili o ka ʻili, e kau ana ma lalo o kona ʻāʻī. Hōʻike ʻia ka dewlap e ke kāne no ka huki ʻana i nā wahine a ma nā hōʻike ʻāina no nā kāne ʻē aʻe. Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia kēia mau hōʻikeʻike territorial me ke poʻo o ke poʻo.
Hiki i nā ʻanole ʻōmaʻomaʻo ke hoʻololi i ka waihoʻoluʻu mai ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo a i ʻeleʻele a hina. ʻOkoʻa nā kala ma muli o ke ʻano, ke kaiapuni, a me ke olakino o ka manu. Ua alakaʻi ʻia kēia ʻano i ka inoa i kapa ʻia ʻo "American chameleon", ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou he chameleons maoli, a ua kaupalena ʻia ko lākou hiki ke hoʻololi i ke kala.
Loaʻa kēia mau moʻo ma nā nahele, nā kumulāʻau, a ma nā paia a me nā pā. Pono lākou i nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo he nui, nā wahi malu, a me kahi wahi haʻahaʻa. ʻO kā lākou meaʻai ka nui o nā iniseti liʻiliʻi a me nā spiders, a lākou e ʻike ai a hahai i ka ʻike ʻana i ka neʻe. Ke hoʻāʻo nei e pakele mai kahi mea ʻaihue, e "hoʻokuʻu" pinepine ka anole ʻōmaʻomaʻo i kona huelo ma kahi hana i kapa ʻia ʻo autonomy. E hoʻomau ka huelo e hoʻohuli i ka mea ʻaihue a hāʻawi i ka anole i ka manawa e pakele ai.
ʻO nā anoles ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma waena o ka hopena o Malaki a me ka hoʻomaka o ʻOkakopa. Hoʻomoe nā wahine i nā hua hoʻokahi i ka lepo mākū, nā lāʻau, a me ka lāʻau popopo. I ka wā o ka pōʻai male, hiki i ka wahine ke waiho hua i kēlā me kēia pule ʻelua. He liʻiliʻi nā hua me ke ʻano ʻili a puka i loko o ʻelima a ʻehiku mau pule.
ʻO nā anoles ʻōmaʻomaʻo he mau holoholona maʻamau i nā wahi a lākou e noho ai, a ua manaʻo ʻia lākou he pipi reptile mua maikaʻi no ka poʻe hoʻomaka. He maʻalahi lākou, maʻalahi e mālama a hānai, a ʻaʻole ʻae i nā loli liʻiliʻi e like me nā mea kolo ʻē aʻe. Mālama ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he mau holoholona ʻike maka no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou makemake e mālama mau ʻia.
Ma ke ʻano he mau holoholona, hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā kāne me nā wahine he nui e like me ka ʻae ʻana o ka wahi olakino, akā ʻaʻole pono e mālama pū ʻia nā kāne. He ʻāina ʻāina nui nā kāne – inā e noho pū ʻia, e hoʻouka mau ke kāne mana a hoʻomāinoino i ke kāne liʻiliʻi a hiki i kona make ʻana. Hiki ke hoʻonāukiuki ʻia ke kāne hoʻokahi i nā hōʻike'āina ma o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke aniani e ʻae i ka moʻo e ʻike iā ia iho.
Hiki i nā ʻanole ʻōmaʻomaʻo ke loaʻa ka hua?
ʻO nā ʻanoles nā mea ʻokiʻoki, no laila e hānai i nā ʻokiki liʻiliʻi, i kekahi mau mea ʻai, a me nā nalo hua ʻole. ʻO nā anoles kekahi mea inu nectar, a hiki ke hānai ʻia i nā ʻāpana hua liʻiliʻi a me nā hua liʻiliʻi puree, e like me ka meaʻai pēpē.
He aha ka meaʻai punahele ʻōmaʻomaʻo?
ʻAi ka anole ʻōmaʻomaʻo i nā nalu, nā nalo, nā ʻokiʻoki, nā pīkī liʻiliʻi, nā mote, nā peʻapeʻa, nā slugs liʻiliʻi, nā ilo, nā ʻupena a me nā nalo.
He aha nā huaʻai a me nā huaʻai e ʻai ai nā ʻanole ʻōmaʻomaʻo?
Ua ʻike ʻia lākou e ʻai ana i nā mea a pau mai nā pīkī, nā pūnawelewele, nā lūlū lūlū, nā nalo, nā nahu, nā ʻupena, nā ilo, nā ʻuʻu, nā ʻuo, nā ʻuʻu, nā slugs, nā ʻokiki, a me kekahi mau arthropods. E ʻai nō hoʻi nā ʻanole ʻōmaʻomaʻo i nā mea kanu e like me nā pua pua, nā ʻōpala, nā ʻanoʻano, a me nā lau. He pāʻani maikaʻi nō hoʻi nā huaʻai, nā mea kanu, a me nā mea kanu.
Hiki i nā ʻanole ʻōmaʻomaʻo ke ʻai i ka maiʻa?
Hiki i nā ʻanole ke ʻai i nā ʻano hua like ʻole, e like me nā ʻāpala, ka maiʻa, nā hua waina, a me nā melon.
Pehea ʻoe e hauʻoli ai i nā ʻanole ʻōmaʻomaʻo?
E hana a mālama i ka haʻahaʻa ma o ka hoʻopiha ʻana i ka ipu wai o ka anole a me ka noe ʻana i kāu holoholona a me ka wahi noho 2 a 3 mau manawa i ka lā. A i ʻole e hoʻohana i ka fogger aunoa, mister a i ʻole ʻōnaehana drip. Hiki nō hoʻi iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka substrate mālama ʻia e like me ka pulu niu a me ka moss. ʻO nā anoles ka lā, ʻo ia hoʻi ke hana nei lākou i ka lā.
Pehea ka lōʻihi e hele ai nā ʻanoles me ka ʻole ʻai?
I ka nahelehele, hiki i kahi anole ʻōmaʻomaʻo ke hele me ka ʻole o ka ʻai ʻana a hiki i 7-30 mau lā. He loli nui kēia ma muli o ka makahiki, ka wahi, ka ʻano, a me ka kaiaola e noho nei.
