He ʻeleʻele kēia mau squirrel i ka lā a ʻike pinepine ʻia e piʻi ana i nā kumulāʻau a ʻohi i nā meaʻai. Ua ʻike ʻia lākou he ʻeleu a wikiwiki hoʻi, he mea paʻakikī ke hopu ʻia e nā mea ʻaihue.
ʻAi ʻai o nā ʻuala ʻulaʻula
ʻO nā squirrels ʻulaʻula nā herbivores nui a ʻo kā lākou meaʻai he ʻano like ʻole o nā nati, nā ʻanoʻano, nā huaʻai, a me nā hua. Ua ʻike ʻia lākou e ʻai i nā ʻupena a me nā haʻani. ʻOkoʻa kā lākou meaʻai ma muli o ke kau a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka meaʻai. I nā mahina hoʻoilo, i ka liʻiliʻi o ka meaʻai, hilinaʻi nui lākou i nā nati a me nā hua i mālama ʻia.

ʻOiai he herbivores ka nui o nā squirrels ʻulaʻula, ua ʻike ʻia lākou e ʻai ana i ka ʻiʻo i kekahi manawa. Ua alakaʻi kēia i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana inā he herbivorous maoli lākou a i ʻole omnivorous. ʻOiai ʻo kā lākou meaʻai he mea kanu ka nui, ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo i kekahi manawa e hōʻike ana hiki iā lākou ke ʻeli i ka protein holoholona.
Nānā i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo
Ua nui nā hihia i kākau ʻia no ka ʻai ʻana o ka ʻiʻo o ka nahele ʻulaʻula. Ua ʻike ʻia kēia ʻano ma ka nahelehele, a me ke pio ʻana. Ma kekahi noiʻi ʻana, ʻike ʻia ka ʻai ʻana i nā hua manu a me nā ʻōpala. Ua ʻike ʻia nō hoʻi lākou e ʻohi i ke kino.
ʻO ka waiwai ʻai o ka ʻiʻo no nā Squirrels ʻulaʻula
Hāʻawi ka ʻiʻo i kumu o ka protein a me ka momona no nā squirrels ʻulaʻula. ʻOiai ʻo kā lākou ʻai ka mea kanu ma mua, hiki i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo i kekahi manawa ke hāʻawi iā lākou i nā meaʻai pono i loaʻa ʻole i kā lākou mea kanu.
Nā kumu no ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo
ʻAʻole maopopo i ke kumu o ka ʻai ʻana o ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula. Hiki paha ke ʻai lākou i ka ʻiʻo no ka hemahema i ka wā e liʻiliʻi ai ka meaʻai mea kanu. Hiki nō hoʻi i ka ʻiʻo ke hāʻawi i kahi pōmaikaʻi meaʻai i hoʻokō ʻole ʻia e kā lākou ʻai mea kanu.
Ka pinepine o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻiʻo
ʻAʻole i hōʻike maikaʻi ʻia ka pinepine o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo e nā squirrels ʻulaʻula. Ua manaʻo ʻia he mea kakaʻikahi, no ka mea, ʻo kā lākou ʻai ka mea kanu. Eia nō naʻe, pono ka noiʻi hou aʻe e hoʻoholo ai i ka nui o ka ʻai ʻana o nā squirrels ʻulaʻula i ka ʻiʻo a ma lalo o nā kūlana.
Ka hopena i ka Ecosystem
ʻAʻole maopopo ka hopena o ka ʻai ʻana o ka ʻiʻo i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula. Hiki paha i kā lākou ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo ke hopena i nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe, e like me nā iniseti a i ʻole nā manu. Eia naʻe, pono ka noiʻi hou aku e hoʻoholo i ka nui o kēia hopena.
Ka Hopena: ʻO ke kuleana o nā squirrels ʻulaʻula ma ke kaulahao meaʻai
He koʻikoʻi ko ka ʻulaʻula squirrels i ke kaulahao meaʻai ma ke ʻano he herbivores, e hāʻawi ana i ka meaʻai no nā mea ʻaihue e like me nā pueo a me nā alopeke. ʻOiai ʻo kā lākou ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo i kekahi manawa ke hāʻawi iā lākou i nā meaʻai pono, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻololi nui i ko lākou kuleana ma ke kaulahao meaʻai.
Noiʻi hou e pili ana i ka ʻai ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula a me ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo
Pono ka noiʻi hou ʻana no ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ke alapine a me nā kumu o ka ʻai ʻana o ka ʻiʻo o ka nahele ʻulaʻula. Hiki i kēia noiʻi ke hoʻomālamalama i nā pono meaʻai o kēia mau holoholona a me kā lākou kuleana i ka kaiaola. Hiki iā ia ke kōkua iā mākou e hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi i ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻano meaʻai i nā squirrels a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe.
