He mea maʻamau ka ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula ma nā wahi he nui o ka honua, me nā kūlanakauhale a me nā wahi kūloko. Ua kaulana kēia mau holoholona no ko lākou hulu ʻulaʻula nani a me nā huelo lāʻau. ʻO nā pōpoki home, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he mau holoholona aloha mākou e mālama ai i ko mākou mau home a me nā māla. ʻOiai ʻokoʻa loa nā ʻalopeke a me nā pōpoki, ʻokoʻa like lākou. No ka laʻana, he ʻai ʻai lāua ʻelua.
ʻO ka ʻai a ka Red Fox: He aha kā lākou ʻai?
He ʻano meaʻai like ʻole nā alopeke ʻulaʻula e pili ana i nā mammals liʻiliʻi, nā manu, nā inike, a me nā huaʻai a me nā hua. He poʻe hahai holoholona lākou, ʻo ia hoʻi, e ʻai lākou i nā mea i loaʻa iā lākou i kēlā manawa. Ma nā kuaʻāina, ʻike ʻia nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula e hahai i nā lapeti, nā ʻiole, a me nā mea momona liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. Ma nā kūlanakauhale, ʻohi paha lākou i ka meaʻai i loko o nā pahu ʻōpala a ʻai i ka meaʻai holoholona i waiho ʻia ma waho.
Aia nā pōpoki ʻāina ma ka papa kuhikuhi?
ʻOiai ke ʻai nei nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula i nā mammals liʻiliʻi, e like me nā rodents a me nā rapeti, aia kekahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i ko lākou manaʻo ʻana i nā pōpoki home he mea pio. Ke hōʻike nei kekahi mau hōʻike e hoʻouka a pepehi nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula i nā pōpoki, a ʻōlelo kekahi e makemake nui lākou i nā mea pio liʻiliʻi. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ʻaʻole ʻo nā pōpoki he ʻāpana kūlohelohe o ka ʻai a ka ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula, akā hiki ke lilo i mea paʻa inā ʻike ʻia lākou he meaʻai maʻalahi.
ʻO nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula a me kā lākou mau ʻano hahai holoholona
ʻO nā alopeke ʻulaʻula he poʻe hahai holoholona akamai e hoʻohana i nā ʻano hana like ʻole e hopu ai i kā lākou pio. Ua kaulana lākou no ko lākou wikiwiki a me ka wikiwiki, a hiki iā lākou ke holo i 45 mau mile i kēlā me kēia hola. Loaʻa iā lākou ka lohe maikaʻi loa o ka lohe a me ka honi, kahi a lākou e hoʻohana ai e ʻimi i ka mea pio. I ka hahai holoholona ʻana, ʻimi pinepine nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula i kā lākou meaʻai a laila lele ʻo ia ma kahi mamao.
ʻO ka hopena o ka Urbanization ma luna o nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula
Ke hoʻomau nei ka hoʻonui ʻana o nā kūlanakauhale a me nā kula, ke emi nei ka noho ʻana o nā alopeke ʻulaʻula. Hiki i kēia ke hopena nui i kā lākou ʻano a me kā lākou ʻai. Ma nā kūlanakauhale, pono paha nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula e hilinaʻi nui i ka ʻohi ʻana i ka meaʻai, hiki ke alakaʻi i nā paio me nā kānaka. Eia hou, hiki i nā wahi kūlanakauhale ke hāʻawi i nā manawa hou aku no nā alopeke ʻulaʻula e hālāwai ai me nā pōpoki home.
ʻO nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula a me kā lākou mau ʻano Predatory
ʻO nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula he poʻe ʻaihue kiʻekiʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi aia lākou ma ka piko o ke kaulahao meaʻai i ko lākou kaiaola. He poʻe akamai lākou i ka hahai holoholona a he kakaikahi nā mea ʻaihue maoli. Eia nō naʻe, he manawa kūpono lākou a e ʻimi i ka meaʻai inā pono. Hiki i kēia ke alakaʻi i nā paio me nā kānaka, ʻoiai ke hoʻomaka nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula e ʻimi i nā pahu ʻōpala a ʻai i ka meaʻai holoholona i waiho ʻia ma waho.
Manaʻo anei nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula i nā pōpoki ʻāina ma ke ʻano he pio?
ʻOiai ʻaʻohe pane paʻa i kēia nīnau, ua maopopo ka hiki i nā alopeke ʻulaʻula ke hoʻouka a pepehi i nā pōpoki ʻohana. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ia he mea maʻamau, a ʻoi aku ka makemake o ka hapa nui o nā alopeke ʻulaʻula i nā mea pio liʻiliʻi. He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole pono e waiho ʻia nā pōpoki ma waho me ka mālama ʻole ʻia, no ka mea hiki ke hoʻonui i ko lākou pilikia o ka hālāwai ʻana me kahi mea ʻaihue.
Pehea e mālama ai i nā pōkiʻi hale mai nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula
Nui nā ʻanuʻu i hiki i ka poʻe nona nā pōpoki ke mālama i kā lākou mau holoholona mai nā alopeke ʻulaʻula. ʻO ka mea mua, pono e mālama ʻia nā pōpoki i loko o ka hale e like me ka hiki, ʻoi aku ka pō. Hiki i nā pā waho a i ʻole "catios" ke hāʻawi i kahi wahi palekana no nā pōpoki e leʻaleʻa i waho i ka wā e pale ʻia ai. Eia hou, ʻaʻole pono e waiho ʻia ka meaʻai pipi ma waho, no ka mea, hiki ke hoʻowalewale i nā mea ʻaihue.
He aha kāu e hana ai inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi Red Fox
Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula, pono e hoʻomanaʻo he holoholona hihiu lākou a pono e mālama ʻia me ka makaʻala. Mai hoʻokokoke a hoʻāʻo e hānai iā lākou, no ka mea hiki ke alakaʻi i ka hana ʻino. Inā ʻike ʻia kahi ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula i ka maʻi a ʻeha paha, e kelepona i kāu keʻena mālama holoholona kūloko no ke kōkua.
Ka hopena: Noho pū me nā ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula a me nā pōpoki ʻāina
ʻOiai ka like ʻana o nā alopeke ʻulaʻula a me nā pōpoki home, he mau holoholona ʻokoʻa lākou me nā pono a me nā ʻano like ʻole. Me ka mālama pono ʻana, hiki i kēia mau ʻano ʻelua ke noho pū ma nā kūlanakauhale a me nā wahi ʻāpana. Ma ka mālama ʻana i nā pōpoki i loko o ka hale a i ʻole ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā pā waho palekana, hiki iā mākou ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana iā lākou mai nā mea ʻaihue e like me nā alopeke ʻulaʻula. Ma ka manawa like, hiki iā mākou ke mahalo i ka nani a me ka ʻokoʻa o nā holoholona hihiu i ko mākou kaiāulu.
